Last night’s episode of Revenge showed Charlotte once again proving to us that she may have changed her last name, but she is still a Grayson through and through. How’d she do it? Let’s dig in.
She tells Victoria that Sarah is back in the picture of Daniels’s life – even if it’s just behind-the-scenes. This statement is proven, by Daniel being super distant from Emily and when he shows up at a Farmer’s Market where lo and behold! Sarah happens to be shopping. Apparently, Sarah has grown a conscious since her last meeting with Victoria and even though her and Daniel have been in contact, she doesn’t want to be the other woman. But after telling Daniel no, she runs after him and lets him know when she’ll be back..ya know, just in case he wants to meet her. As Sarah wistfully watches Daniel drive away she turns to find none other then Emily looking like a girl straight out of a horror movie ready to kill.
Instead, Emily pulls out all the stops of a betrayed woman. She get super emotional. Says she’s so embarrassed for crying. She does it all. Sarah, being ever the lady, offers her a tissue and insists that there is nothing going on between them and Emily walks away smugly satisfied.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t last very long. Today is the day of their co-ed bridal shower! While getting ready Emily notices a diamond necklace wrapped in a box and turns to her pal Nolan for some gift advice. He gives her advice, but for herself. He recommends a watch that has a GPS in it. He knows she has a plan for disappearing after the wedding, but it never hurts to have a plan B. Aw, friendship at its finest.
At the bridal shower, pretty dresses are worn, handsome men are seen, and delicious treats are eaten – made by none other than Sarah. Guess Emily’s act didn’t work as well as she thought. Daniel spends the part stealing not so subtle stolen glances across the party at her , but Victoria has yet another treat up her sleeve. Party games! She has both Daniel and Emily separately sit on the stage as they try to guess a surprise visitor from their past. Daniel gets an old lax buddy, but of course Victoria has a special reunion planned for Emily – her ex husband. You knew she was going to use that information from Busy to her advantage, right? Ah, but did it work?
Well, kind of. Emily was one step ahead of Victoria. She knew that Busy would let the information slip and placed a call to Rohan (her ex-hubby) so he was all prepped and ready to divulge their “secret past” at the shower. Only it wasn’t as scandalous as Victoria had hoped, Emily did it to help him stay with his true love – now he wishes the same for Emily. How sweet! Daniel doesn’t look too pissed about the revelation but it’s safe to say he isn’t thrilled about it either. Emily however could not be happier – Victoria just publicly tried to sabotage their engagement and the ‘evidence’ against her is continuing to pile up. And people began to notice. Sarah saw what she did and Daniel realized that he is about to marry a woman who is the same as his mother. Duh.
Charlotte unfortunately, isn’t there to see most of this. She leaves early to tend to her own pressing matter – someone is blackmailing her. She has to give them 40 grand or they are releasing nude pictures of her. When is she going to learn?! Charlotte turns to Aiden (he’s baaack!) to help make the mess disappear which he does, but he complicates things even more with Jack. Not only does he beat the guy blackmailing Charlotte right outside The Stowaway, he gets into an almost ‘pissing contest’ with Jack. He reminds Jack that Jack is a man from Emily’s past – not her future. To which Jack quickly replied – are you trying to convince me or yourself? This ultimately makes Jack pay Emily a visit to make sure she knows what she’s doing. Emily rightfully tells him that he doesn’t really know Aiden, or her for that matter – and Jack can’t really argue with her there.
So where is Daniel while all this is going on you ask? He’s sitting pretty at the Grayson mancave – a secret penthouse in the city that has been passed down from generation to generation of Gryason men to have a ‘safe place’ to have their affairs. And the Grayson women don’t know about it – or so Conrad believes.
So, Daniel invites Sarah to the mancave to which she says she’s come to only say good-bye, but Daniel pulls out some memories from their past – and it comes in the form of one diamond necklace. So maybe someee things do get past Emily. Daniel basically tells her that he’s not asking her to commit to him, but that he knows for sure now he can’t commit to Emily and then they kiss. Back at the Hamptons however, Victoria is giving Emily a gift of her own. A number to which Emily calls and hears Daniel and Sarah in the mancave. Yikes.
The episode ends with two big reveals. Margot who has still been trying to find a story on the Grayson’s finally found one. Even though Nolan spoon-fed her some nonchalant information per Jack’s request, Margot stayed steadfast and found someone to talk — Lydia Davis. And if that wasn’t enough of a shock for you, Daniel returns home to presumably break things off with Emily, but she decides she wants to talk first. She tells him she couldn’t figure out why she’s been so emotional lately, and hands him over a gift – the gift of life. Yep, in a tightly wrapped box lies a sonogram holding Emily and Daniel’s baby. Or you know, a photo of a sonogram that Emily stole.
Some leftovers: were you shocked that Daniel cheated? ARe you still team Jack or do you want Emily to run away with Aiden? Is Emily really pregnant?
