Revenge 2x03 - "Confidence"
There's always so much going on in every episode of this show that I need a few days to process it beyond an incoherent flail, and Confidence was no exception! I'm still unsure of my feelings on a couple of points, so I guess I'll just have to make it up as I go along.

OMG. This episode! All the feelings!
-- I just love how she wasn't having any of his BS about trusting him & knocked him over the head with her finest vintage specimen to then literally DUMP him, lol. B/C SAVING HER DOESN'T UNDO YOUR LIES, DUDE.
LOL yes! I like the addition of Aiden to the show so far because it's a chance to have a character who knows who Ems really is who she DOESN'T trust at all. It's fun!
-- V.V. interested in Em's mom, too. Can't wait to see where this goes.
-- I agree that I did not like Jack much this episode. Yeah, she lied, dude. But as far as you know it's only because you made it SO clear you hate her half-sister's family. The funny thing is if he knew the truth about everything that was going on, he'd have a total right to be pissed at Amanda (and Emily!). But given what he thinks the situation is, he was a jerk.
Also, I feel like this was just more proof of why I don't think Jack/Emily could work. Given that he was pissed about Amanda's lies (as he understands them), how could he possibly forgive Emily for everything she lied about?
-- But on to the important thing: Yes, Nolen/Emily WAS everything this epi. Like. Their scenes. WHAT. WHAT EVEN. Was this episode real? Are they really still thinking people SHOULDN'T ship it?
The scene in his office was full of LOLs and OMG the way they just naturally stand close together, I can't. And "My -- Emily." Why do hard to just say "friend" Nolan? And "means something hot is going to happen" dear lord.
And then yes the way Emily goes to him ASAP when he's attacked.
But most of all -- THE WAY SHE SAYS "NOLAN" in that scene. I literally rewound right away. Amazing. THIS kind of thing is why my co-workers, who used to be on the Jack/Emily or Daniel/Emily trains, are almost all Nolan/Emily convertees these days. IT IS SO BLATANT AND OBVIOUS AND AMAZING.
Off to watch Epi 4 now!

Ooh, I actually love your take! It helps me to come to terms with Aiden having been promoted to a cast regular, which brought me down last week b/c it potentially means less N/E bff screentime. You're right, tho, it doesn't seem like she'll ever be able to put absolute trust in him the way she does into Nolan... for good reason!
I'm glad someone else agrees with me that Jack had no right to act a jerk w/o knowing what we know, lol. He seems to be changing back for the better in the latest ep, which is a relief.

Dude, I think about that ALL the time. It seems like such a major breach of confidence which would SO not make a solid foundation for a healthy relationship. Even if he gets over it initially, that's bound to resurface later on every time they have an argument given Jack's overall judginess, and just... no. I could never ship it.
Why so hard to just say "friend" Nolan?
Riiiight? Not even for cover purposes! BASICALLY, HE LOVES HER AND HE CANNOT LIE.

Yes, Ems', "Nolan" made my heart skip a beat or two. SO MANY FEELINGS. Reminded me of those rare times Nolan calls her Emily because it always has that special undertone lent to it by the gravity of the situation. <3
That is seriously the best thing ever about your co-workers. I can only imagine the fun you're having at the office with that collective Nolan/Emily flailing! KEEP CALM & PREACH ON, bb, because GEms are too damn perfect not to.
