The further adventures of Amanda/Emily/Ems
Before I get on to Revenge 4.18 Clarity, another thought about 4.17, Margiaux’s miscarriage means that Carl is still the only member of the next generation. Although there could be another Clarke (depending on what Charlotte calls herself), there will be no future for the Grayson line now.
Victoria was copying Morticia Addams’s style throughout, which was distracting.
David (an Amanda/Jack shipper, especially because he missed their teenage years) finds out that Ben and Emily are an item. There was a lot of Ben-Emily/Amanda-Jack in this episode. And still, the final hand-holding for comfort and reassurance got to me.
If Nolan couldn’t support you by coming to Lymond’s funeral, Louise, you don’t have the kind of open and honest marriage for to bring up kids. Let alone everything else. Wanting a baby after being around death sort of made sense, but felt a bit overdone when everything else about their plotline worked with clockwork precision, like Louise seeing through Victoria, but Vicky successfully leaving her poison, because of Nolan's weaknessess clashing with Louise's 'fragility'.
And Emily has now drawn out the Momma Bear in Stevie. Sure, she’s a smidge too fierce - making up for lost time - but she was right about how risky Emily’s plan was - and that’s without knowing what Margiaux has said and thought.
Oh, goodie, Margiaux finally notices her flunky is getting ideas above his station - it would be good if he had some reason for the trigger-happiness, be it personal or ambitious, or probably daft.
Key line: Nolan’s about what ‘Emily Thorne’ was built for. I mean the lying to Kevin just felt pointless (and among all Jack’s angst about his undying feelings for her, more of a nail in Ben/Emily’s future.) Later, Ben was making a decent point, in that Emily hadn’t considered his involvement in the lie about Daniel, but before he could land on the bigger issue which is that he’s not in the inner circle (of Nolan and Jack and, off-screen, David) he came out with the line about just wanting a good time from her. Um, he wanted honesty and a little more (which is fair enough) so that was a disjointed conversation.
And so Jack gave into his kryptonite, and I was shaking my head in a Stevie style (although David was right too about their not being kids). BUT Emily had got as far as seeing that the only way of selling her lie was with a bigger truth - and to my shock it was the biggest truth, because I’d assumed she was going to continue with being an ostrich about the pointlessness of continuing to lie about her identity. I gasped, is what I’m saying.
Won’t the repercussions be huge? Bravo for going for it now, show, with a few more episodes to go.
