Catching Up With Revenge . . . .
So I accidentally read the huge twist for the most recent episode of “Revenge” . . . . so then I just decided rather than catch up on all my back episodes, I’d just watch it 🙂 The 5 minute recap in the beginning, along with what I had been reading along the way, pretty much filled me in. Next week’s episode, BTW, is the last that has any spoilers or releases put out. So I’m assuming we are going to see a hiatus for the show soon? Unless the releases haven’t been put out to hide something huge . . . . Because I didn’t see a few episodes, I’m a bit foggy on some things here. The last one I saw was in January when Tyler was taken off to the hospital after going nuts at Daniel’s birthday . . .
So I love the twist that Charlotte is also David’s daughter, and Amanda/Emily’s half-sister. That explains why Victoria always seemed distant from her daughter and revealed to that shrink she regretted having her. I would think, since she supposedly really loved David, that Charlotte would have become her favorite. Was this their attempt to hid this little secret? As I googled, I found others figured it out looooong ago. I did not see that one coming though.
The latest episode finally brought us full circle, back to the very first episode, the Fire and Ice engagement party for Emily and Daniel, back to Daniel’s shooting on the beach, back to everyone running out in terror to his cold, dead body in the sand . . . .
But of course then we went to the usual “X hours earlier” deal . . . Tyler was back, and he had found Emily/Amanda’s secret stash of info hidden in her floor boards, the “infinity box.” I guess I assumed he understood fully what it meant, that Emily was in fact the real Amanda? But then on later pondering, maybe he didn’t? Because he was intent on doing all this stuff for his own revenge . . . none of which seemed to be exposing Emily? Anyone who still watches . . . wanna share your thoughts? Did he know? I swear he told Emily/Amanda that he did? Why didn’t he use it then? Ahhhh!
Tyler took Amanda (aka the real Emily) hostage and told her that Emily (aka the real Amanda) was not her friend, and she had thrown her under the bus in the past and would so in the future. He planned to get all this money out of Emily in exchange for her secrets . . . but after Emily one’up’ed him, and Amanda ran off and ditched him, his plans changed. Tyler planed to murder Daniel at the engagement party, and frame Emily.
Amanda ran to Jack, who was planning to go to Haiti and build schools. She convinced him to take her along, and she was later touched when she learned it was Emily who always encouraged Jack to be with her . . . .
Meanwhile at the party, Daniel was introduced to this Japanese guy, who was an investor in Grayson and weary of the companies future or something. Conrad hoped Daniel could ease his mind, but Daniel was planning on running away with his fiance and leaving all this behing. Meanwhile Victor tried to convince Emily that plan was a very bad idea. It seems Emily agreed, mainly because she couldn’t have her revenge.
The Japanese guy, who is on Emily/Amanda’s side, returned the box Tyler stole from her. He told her to bury it on the beach, then he’d tell her all she wants to know. On the beach is where the shiznat started to go down of course. She ran into Daniel, who wanted them to run away . . . she basically told him that might be a bad idea. Later Tyler confronts Daniel and tries to expose Emily to him.
The next we know, a gunshot has been fired. Jack finds Amanda on the beach with the body. He tells her to run to his car and take off while he tries to hide the body. At this point Emily calls Daniel, the phone on the body rings, and JAck’s brother and Charlotte (who are skinny dipping) hear it. Jack runs off . . . Charlotte screams, and everyone comes running.
Amanda (aka the Real Emily) can’t get Jack’s car working, and a mysterious stranger shows up to drive her off. We don’t see who, but it seems to be the Japanese guy (as he says “It’s an honor to serve you”).
Back on the beach, everyone runs to the body, Victoria flips it over . . . . then in the distance we see Daniel approach covered in blood. The body is Tyler, and she tells him not to say a word!
So . . . . what to think. All this time we’ve been lead to believe Daniel was dead. From what I even read early on, that was supposedly the plan for the second half of the season. Were we all punked? Or was something changed at the last minute to save Daniel? It seemed to me that everyone fell in love with Emily and Daniel, and everyone was sad that Daniel was about to be killed off. Did the show flip things at the very end so as to not kill a potential power couple off? Honestly, I haven’t read any interviews with the show producers and writers, so I don’t know. I guess I should go google that, shouldn’t I? . . . . And so a quick Google seems to be on the side that the show flipped things last minute, that in the original episode it was clearly Daniel we saw falling down to his death on the beach. Hmmmmm . . . .
I don’t know, I really have always been in favor of Emily/Amanda ending up with Jack honestly. It will be interesting to see where the show goes from here on out. Originally I had heard the plan for the second half of the season was to flashback to David’s trial and treat us to it, along side Emily/Amanda on trial for Daniel’s death . . . . that doesn’t seem possible now does it?
