Also, am I the only person who thought #OccupyDaniel should have trended on Twitter tonight?
Daniel Grayson’s (Joshua Bowman) innocence remained in question on the May 2 episode of Revenge – even though someone else admitted to murdering Tyler. While Daniel remained in prison, Charlotte (Christa B. Allen), did a little family research, leading Emily (Emily VanCamp) to a missing journal from the infinity box. And shockingly, Nolan (Gabriel Mann) had been hiding it from her all along! (Now Nolan, you know not to keep secrets from Emily. You’ll eventually regret it.)
Within the journal, David Clarke was revealed to appear paranoid and terrified; he didn’t want his daughter to remember him in that state. Emily stumbled upon the initials CM (or Carole Miller) written by her father, but after cross-referencing records at the hospital, a Carole Miller didn’t exist. A Carole Thomas who matched the description, however, was alive and well, and the woman turned out to have been Conrad’s personal assistant for years.
Naturally, Emily went undercover to get information about Conrad (Henry Czerny) and her father from this woman, who certainly didn’t mind whipping out her shotgun and pointing it at Emily. And as if enough mouths hadn’t dropped already, they certainly did after viewers found out C.M. was Nolan’s aunt! She’d been on David’s side the whole time, investigating Grayson Global from the inside, but Carole didn’t get the chance to help Emily’s dad before he was killed.
All of Daniel’s charges were dropped, and the people of the Hamptons were not happy about it. While her son was being released from jail, Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) was busy exchanging information about flight 197 with Mr. McGowen from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Her information, in exchange for immunity, led him to Grayson Global, and eventually Conrad may be exposed as the mastermind behind the terrorist attack. (My word, the women of the Hamptons are absolute geniuses!)
You know that things are about to get serious in this show when people stare at themselves in the mirror and the violins sound in the background. As Daniel prepared for his interview, he went back and forth between his parents to try to get the truth. Eventually, even though Conrad admitted the whole truth to him, Daniel sided with his father, telling the world in an interview that Conrad was innocent. Ashley (Ashley Madekwe) was fired when she was exposed for leaking pictures of Daniel, but Conrad being the sneaky rich man that he is offered her a Lexus — and a position at Grayson Global. (I seriously liked Ashley… before she slid into that Lexus.)
During a rare mother-daughter bonding moment, Victoria and Charlotte visited David’s grave and found the rose Emily left at the beginning of the episode, leading them to suspect someone had been to the grave site. When asked about her future plans, Emily declared she was going to marry Daniel and kill the man who murdered her father.
The season finale is fast approaching, and I get chills every time I see a new preview. Emily will stop at nothing to avenge her father’s death, and I cannot wait to see more people suffer for what happened to David.
