If you have yet to watch the Revenge season finale, please back away from your computer. Everyone else, feel free to read on.
This episode kicked off right where the last one ended: the entire city of New York , including the Hamptons somehow, is in a blackout. Jack is explaining his revengenda to Victoria (why he is trusting her I will never understand). Emily is trying to calm Aiden down and then goes into revenge mode with Nolan. Charlotte is pregnant, presumably with Declan's baby, and Daniel is the only one who knows so far. Declan is stuck in a bank with Charlotte's annoying friend who we learn is actually in love with Charlotte. And Conrad is with his campaign, looking to be planning something extra sketchy.
And then the lights come back. And the drama commences. Conrad is just about all out of sorts. He is worried about Grayson Global, something Daniel tells him will be fine with him at the wheel, and learns from Victoria about Jack's plan to sabotage his press conference. In the Thorne universe, Emily finds the body of her once-mentor, Takeda, leading to some flashbacks of the early days of the revenge training when she was still Amanda Clarke. Little does she know who his killer is: her man love Aiden. Me thinks this is the end of their little love affair. When meeting up with Aiden a little later, he explains that they should run away together. When she finally realizes that he is the killer, he explains that Takeda was training them for his own fight to avenge his fiancees death. Emily does not necessarily believe him and says that all she ever wanted was the truth. Now that he lied, it looks to be the end for these little love birds.
Back on the political side of things, everyone is ramping up for the big Governor's election, one that looks to be all but decided for Mr. Grayson. hearing of Jack's little sabotage plan, Conrad changes the time of the press conference, telling Ashleigh not to tell Mr. Porter. Of course, she probably will. In order to make it look like the family is close, Conrad implores his son to join for the press conference.
Elsewhere in the Grayson clan, it seems that Victoria knows about her daughters pregnancy. When Declan comes to the press conference in order to talk with Charlotte, he finds Victoria first who essentially kicks him out of the building. He finds out about her situation. Later, Charlotte's little lady friend bad mouths Declan when the kid himself calls and reveals that he knows about the pregnancy. Charlotte, clearly mad at her mother for revealing her secret before she was ready, hangs up on him and calls out her friend as a liar.
As the first hour of the season finale two-parter ended, Conrad's press conference is going on when it seems practically everyone in the city is receiving a text stating "Long Live David Clarke." Just then, a bomb goes off in Grayson Global, a place where Jack was being led to believe the laptop incriminating Conrad was being kept. Emily frantically searches for him when he shows up at Nolcorp, searching for answers as to how Nolan knew the building would blow up. And he got some. Well not all the answers, but a fair few. In the middle of the discussion, Ashleigh calls to tell Jack that his brother was in the building and taken to the hospital. Nolan does not believe him and just as Jack is about to leave anyway, Emily shows up and Nolan tells Jack that he needed to start trusting her. We'll see how that goes. Either he does and learns everything, or he is going to get himself killed probably.
As Jack goes in to see Declan (disguised as a nurse, that sneaky dog), Emily receives a little visit from Aiden. Looks like he had some last minute convincing to do before he took off, presumably for good. He tried to appeal once more saying that just a week ago she was ready to run away with him. She counters back that "it was a different time." Sure, Emily. One week is so different. We totally get it. Anyway, Aiden gives her one last chance to meet him before he leaves. Looks like we are going to just have to wait a see if she takes him up on it.
The rest of the episode goes by very fast. It seems that Aiden is gone for good. Daniel is basically mad at everyone in his family. Conrad set the bomb off in order to look the hero during his press conference. Apparently he has also become a member of the Initiative's inner circle, which basically meant that everything Victoria did to keep the family safe was all for nothing, including that pesky murder. Oh and Declan is dead. I guess that's a biggie. And Nolan is arrested for acts of terror. Uh oh. While incarcerated Noland claims that the Falcon set him up. Of course, there is incriminating video footage of Padma discrediting him and claiming that he is at the helm of the Initiative. And Aiden and Daniel fight whilst Aiden tells him that he needs to give up on Emily. Oh, and also while there is a gun right next to Daniel. This cannot end well. Except that nothing looks to have happened since Daniel shows back up at Conrad's winning Governor's speech, seemingly unscathed. And Patrick shows up at Victoria's door. As Jack is about to kill Conrad when Emily enters and tells him that she is Amanda. So good stuff all around.
