Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) kicked off the March 10 episode of Revenge by storming through her house, flipping tables, tearing up everything in her sight, cleaning Amanda’s (Margarita Levieva) blood off her body and loading guns. She lost another person she loved, and people were going to pay — specifically, the Graysons.

Back at Grayson Global, Daniel (Joshua Bowman) was completely oblivious — as usual — to everything happening and just sat at his desk, scheming about how to get more money and power. And how to deceive his parents! As his ego grew two sizes that day, Aiden brought him down a few notches when he basically demanded a seat on the board, since he brought NolCorp into the hands of Grayson Global.

He agreed, but not without introducing an opportunity for blackmail; Daniel gave Aiden control of specific funds, and planned to watch him like a hawk to make sure he did nothing to suggest he was part of The Initiative. Speaking of demands, Daniel also threatened Nolan (Gabriel Mann) to destroy his genius computer program. However, he gave the program and the decision to turn it into The Initiative, to Padma.

Meanwhile, Mr. Trask — or as I like to call him, “creepy Initiative man” who somewhat resembles “Thin Man” from Charlie’s Angels — was exploiting Daniel Grayson (again, oblivious) and investigating the boat incident. While Jack (Nick Wechsler) laid in a hospital bed, Charlotte (Christa B. Allen) identified Amanda’s body and tended to baby Carl.

But just when you thought things couldn’t get sadder than Emily held Amanda’s lifeless body in her arms, she then had to break the news to Jack. In a moment of anger, Jack smashed a memory of Amanda, which led to the revelation of a key that unlocked a locker at the marina, which housed the computer Amanda used to blackmail Conrad Grayson (Henry Czerny)!

After everything he had been through, Jack should officially earn his degree in Revenge. He suspected Conrad had a hand in the boat scandal, and therefore Amanda’s death as well, so he jumped aboard the Revenge bandwagon, now more than ever. He discovered that Amanda and Emily were like sisters, and now had a personal vendetta against his once-closest friend. (Poor Jack, if you only knew!)

Emily gave the eulogy at Amanda’s funeral and set her revenge-sights on Charlotte, the only person that — if eliminated — could destroy Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe). Oh, and real-Amanda’s foster brother showed up to mourn the loss of his sister. Next week, he’ll discover that his actual foster sister is, well, not-so-dead.

Victoria’s (Madeleine Stowe) got a gun! The Feb. 10 episode of Revenge began with a flashback to the past of what was meant to be: Jack (Nick Wechsler) and real Amanda (Emily VanCamp) as kids — planning a wedding! But we all know how that worked out. Thanks, Faux-manda. Thanks a lot.

Speaking of Faux-manda, she went to the Graysons’ for help with Stowaway problems and, of course, Emily had to bail her out again with a check containing way too many zeroes.

Despite all the problems in the Hamptons surrounding the Porter family, there was a wedding to be had — and Jack finally shaved! My heart shattered as tears fell down Emily’s face at Jamanda’s wedding, and I almost cried when Emily gave Amanda a memento of her and Jack’s wedding as children. But when all was said and done, Faux-manda dug her own grave by blackmailing Conrad (Henry Czerny) with video files she stole from Emily’s stash of revenge evidence.

Victoria tried to prove to Daniel (Joshua Bowman) that The Initiative was setting him up, and even had a bitch-on-bitch showdown with Helen Crowley, the head of The Initiative. Helen threatened to take Daniel away from Victoria if she didn’t hand over the evidence from flight 197, so Victoria… well, she shot her in cold blood!

In other sad news, Nolan (Gabriel Mann) discovered Aiden’s sister actually died 6 years ago, and there was even autopsy confirmation of her death! Aiden is now more capable than ever of revenge against The Initiative, and he was pushing away the one person who knows more about vengeance than he ever will!

To put the icing on Emily’s heartbroken cake, Daniel broke things off with her, claiming it wasn’t the best time to rekindle their relationship. In the end, Aiden came to his senses and apologized, and they cuddled by a fire. Personally, I think it’s best to have a sweet, endearing moment right before The Amanda explodes on next week’s episode!

The Jan. 20 episode of Revenge got pretty heated when Emily (Emily VanCamp) and Daniel (Joshua Bowman) flew off to Los Angeles, as Helen Crowley ordered Aiden to kill Victoria (Madeleine Stowe). You know, just the usual Revenge drama.

Daniel had a meeting with Stonehaven, a disaster-relief company Grayson Global wished to procure, and he needed his lucky charm — aka his ex-fiancé Emily — by his side. Daniel also had a little pleasure in mind for the trip, but his getaway was quickly ruined by Victoria. She showed up to make sure Jason secured Stonehaven in order to protect her son, all the while unaware that Aiden had also arrived — to kill her! Helen suggested Aiden’s sister was still alive, and in order to get her back, he must kill the Queen of the Hamptons.

Initially, Mr. Procer dropped out of the running because Aiden revealed that whoever gained Stonehaven would also acquire a nice lawsuit as a party favor. To guarantee that Jason stayed in the running for the business, Victoria offered herself as his true prize. In the end, with the help of some dirt-digging from Nolan (Gabriel Mann), Daniel secured the company, and his head grew three sizes that day. Oh, and no worries, Emily stopped Aiden from killing Victoria. Whew, that was a close call!

The case against Jack (Nick Wechsler) started to get more complicated, so obviously, it was Conrad (Henry Czerny) and his checkbook to the rescue! The police found a gun aboard Jack’s boat and they accused him of murdering Joe Ryan — the Ryan brothers’ father — but Conrad had a confession from his actual killer, Mr. Duncan. Conrad offered the brothers a $50,000 check for just a simple signature and a departure from the Hamptons in return.

On a lighter note, everyone almost forgot Charlotte’s (Christa B. Allen) birthday, or canceled plans to celebrate; and as a birthday gift to herself, Charlotte changed her last name from “Grayson” to “Clarke.” Shockingly, Emily admitted her alliance with Victoria to Daniel — and even MORE shockingly, Daniel knew what was going on! He just pushed to see how far Emily would go to help him. (Now you’re learning, Daniel. Now you’re learning.)

In other news, due to an amateur slip up, Nolan figured out that Padma was playing him like a fiddle, and he played her right back! He planted a fake flash drive to the program, Carrion, that she’d been searching for while spying for The Initiative, and he caught her uploading the file — hook, line and sinker. It seemed like everyone in the Hamptons was having a hard time trusting each other, and Aiden was no exception. He received footage from The Initiative of his sister’s death from a drug overdose, and threatened to blame everything on Emily if it turned out she actually died. Fingers crossed that she’s still alive! You can’t be mad at Emily Thorne. You just can’t.

Revenge returns Feb. 10, when we’ll see scenes from the first episode of season two. Plus, Jack and Amanda will have their wedding, and — wait for it — someone will die protecting Emily Thorne! Any guesses?

Since Daniel (Josh Bowman) has been a pawn in the Initiative’s game of evilness, Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) cooked up a plan to grab her son’s attention once again — and she turned to one of her worst enemies, Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp), for help! Looks like even the Graysons will do whatever it takes to protect family.

Emily and Aiden had a public “fake-up” (aka fake breakup), and guess who just happened to be present? Daniel Grayson, of course! Does this kid really think that everything in life will go his way?

Conveniently, Emily was invited to a dinner with the Graysons, and she took the opportunity to confront the judge who presided at her father’s trial. This informative dinner also led Emily to the person who actually wrote David a letter while in prison. It was initially assumed that James Palmer, Judge Barnes’ court clerk, wrote David a letter with information that would have resulted in a mistrial due to a tainted jury. But the judge’s wife, Patricia, informed everyone that she wrote the letter and that she’s been abused by her husband! (That’s one more face Emily Thorne got to cross out with her red Sharpie.)

Jack (Nick Weschler) finally realized that the Ryan brothers were bad news, and when he found out they were using The Stowaway to move drugs, he called on his friend in law enforcement to bust them! Unfortunately, his plan kind of backfired, as the police found nothing that led to the Ryan brothers — and they arrested Jack for possession!

Using his skills to break into Grayson Global’s computer system, Nolan discovered footage that led Aiden to Helen Crowley, a member of the Initiative. She wanted to manipulate him just like everyone else in the Hamptons, and Helen used his sister (who is actually alive!) as bait. What exactly does the Initiative want from Aiden?

Daniel asked Emily to help steer the company into the “right” direction, and she accepted his offer, using the power of a kiss to her advantage! Will Aiden be overcome with jealousy?

On the Dec. 2 episode of Revenge, everyone in the Hamptons was on edge before the voting that would determine the new CEO of Grayson Global. A new face in town named Salvador was the swing vote, and while he initially leaned towards Daniel (Joshua Bowman), the Graysons had a plan to protect their son from replacing Conrad (Henry Czerny), thus protecting him from The Initiative.

Thanks to Marco — Nolan’s (Gabriel Mann) former employee and ex-boyfriend — Daniel gained 51 percent of NolCorp after blackmailing and threatening Nolan with a criminal investigation based on the missing $500 million! After hearing the news, Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) turned the tables on her son after Nolan delivered a sex tape of Ashley (Ashley Madekwe) and Conrad. By promising not to tell Daniel, Victoria manipulated her to sleep with Salvador in order to secure his vote for Conrad. Man, Ashley sure gets around!

Because all things must go Emily Thorne’s (Emily VanCamp) way, Aiden lured Daniel to Salvador’s room, where he found Ashley and photographed them in nothing but bathrobes. After Daniel threatened to show the picture to his wife, who controlled his money, Salvador promised his vote — and he won the CEO position at Grayson Global!

The Ryan brothers — the business partners who are supposedly helping Jack (Nick Weschler) and Declan (Connor Paolo) believed that Jack’s dad murdered their father, but he only covered for his friend Matt Duncan (as seen in last week’s flashback episode). All along, their plans were set in motion in order to get a little payback with the Porter family. However, it was Mr. Duncan who suffered a severe beating from the Ryans, landing him in the hospital.

Despite his parents’ warnings, Daniel gained the CEO position at Grayson Global, and he’s now a pawn in the Initiative’s game of domination. Nolan also has more control over Daniel and the company than he realized. Along with Emily, he planned to control Grayson Global from the inside.

Finally, the shock of a lifetime occurred occurred, setting up an interesting twist for the show’s January return: Emily Thorne and Victoria Grayson… will become partners! Emily will have leverage and Victoria will manipulate Daniel — who is still head over heels for Miss Thorne — in order to protect him.

Can’t wait for January, right?

3. Emily VanCamp V. Ashley Madekwe: Which ‘Revenge’ Star Has Best Waves?

The Nov. 25 episode of Revenge flashed back to Thanksgiving 2006, when Emily (Emily VanCamp) first planned her revenge on the Graysons, and when Victoria’s (Madeleine Stowe) mother Marion took the crown for biggest b***h in town. But before taking action against her worst enemies, Emily completed a risky mission for Takeda — and gained an ally.

Posing as a prostitute, Emily set the groundwork for Takeda to eliminate a man involved in sex trafficking, which is where she met Aiden (Barry Sloane) for the the first time. After he was captured by Dimitri, the man who took his sister, Emily tried to rescue Aiden, but both were caught and held at gunpoint. In true Emily fashion, she kicked some serious butt — in heels, might I add — and everyone managed to escape, except Dimitri, who Aiden shot in cold blood!

Back at NolCorp, half a billion dollars disappeared from the company, and Nolan’s (Gabriel Mann) boyfriend Marco refused to accept Nolan’s lies about where the money had gone. Even though he tried to do what was right and give the money to Amanda, Nolan lost someone important to him, as well as someone with a score of his own to settle! Meanwhile at the Stowaway, Jack’s (Nick Weschler) father dug himself farther into debt, and we discovered his secret: his friend shot a man who had been looking to collect his money!

The Grayson family Thanksgiving table was complete with a turkey and all the fixings, but the family love was no where to be found. Another flashback to Thanksgiving-past revealed that when Marion’s husband threatened to leave, she coaxed Victoria to shoot him and take the blame since no jury would ever convict her. (Not to mention that Marion chose a pedophile over her own daughter, who she threw out of the house.)

Victoria said it perfectly when she told her mother she learned from the best, because everything was a set-up! Victoria paid the new man her mother invited for Thanksgiving, set up their meeting on a cruise and even acted like they didn’t know him at the Grayson holiday dinner — only to ruin her mother’s life just like she’d ruined hers. The title of the show becomes more appropriate with every episode.

Flash forward to present day: Aiden has taken Daniel’s (Joshua Bowman) place in Emily’s — scratch that, Amanda‘s — bed; Daniel sneakily called Marco, Nolan’s ex-boyfriend and NolCorp employee; and the Graysons planned to keep Daniel away from Grayson Global… for his own safety.

And how did you spend YOUR Thanksgiving?
