Monica you are getting against the idea of a soulmate. Jack and Amanda are soulmates. He is the only one who 'gets' her. By fixing the swing and placing it so it faces the sea. They are meant to be. Two people who are meant to be together are meant to be together, there is no logical explanation to it. As for Daniel, she tells him she loves him in a moment where she felt it was going to keep her out of a fight, which totally sucks... And when he tells her back they are on the swing and she is holding the swing. Soulmates!

I like Daniel a lot and was sad to see that maybe he doesn't mean as much to Emily as she does to him. She did say that he's not a target, but that doesn't mean she's not playing/conning him. I think that he can show her that not all Hamptons (specifically Graysons) are bad. And I honestly don't get the big deal about Jack. Why are we supposed to be rooting for Jack and Emily? Why is Nolan rooting for Jack and Emily? He just became "friends" with Jack.. Jack doesn't seem like a super nice guy, if he was, wouldn't he show more respect and kindness to Nolan? And personally, I think it's just creepy that he's so into Emily.. He has no idea it's actually Amanda, he barely knows her but already feels such a deep connection that comes once or twice in a lifetime? I'd be creeped out.

Declan is adding nothing to the story - he needs to go - every scene he's in somehow seems awkward and forced. The gratuitous gay scene with Tyler and Nolan had no value but to shock - surely this series is good enough not to rely on such cheap tricks. I continue to be amazed that Emily/Amanda is not smart enough to know she shouldn't keep her little 'treasure chest of secrets' in her house, no matter how well hidden.

@ Jany Leslie was apparently some guy who filed a restraining order against Tyler. That was part of the blackmail info that Nolan found out on Tyler.
@ Blade. You are right in the fact that Nolan is doing this for Clarke and not for Emily. And yes I agree with all saying that she didn't enlist his help at all, but the point is now she needs him. He's an asset that she didn't plan on having but she relies heavily on. No one is saying she's a horrible person for treating him the way that she does, but in the overall gist of this show about people not quite being what everyone thinks, the smart thing for her is to treat the guy a little better. He made a promise to her father, not her, as you said...he doesn't have to stay loyal to her to be loyal to her father's memory. And honestly the audience and Emily is banking on him being loyal because of her father...but whose to say that if pushed to a certain point that he'll remain that way. Just as Emily learned from the warden to "never u

Anyone else think that Charlotte will turn out to be the love child of David Clarke and Victoria Grayson and that's why Victoria said she thought she might regret having a second child and why in this episode the flashback had Conrad saying 'we could lose Daniel' and not 'the kids'?

this is seriously one of the best shows on tv right now. the last epsisode was really really good. even with so many sub-plots they can really keep the story going which is brilliant. i love nolan's character. i think the latest development with tyler makes him even more interesting.
To posters saying Emily's treatment of Nolan will "bite her in the ass":
Nolan is not doing any of this for Emily/Amanda. He's doing it for David Clarke. He'll continue to be part of the takedowns no matter what Emily says or does. Furthermore, if he ever did anything bad to Emily, he would be breaking his promise to David.

This show is my number 1 show now! This episode left me in aww bcuz of the so many twists and turns. I want to learn more about the warden and how Emily and Amanda switched lives. I know it's coming because the real Emily is in town now. This will prove to be problematic because I feel the real Emily is going to interfere but it will be difficult to deal with her because she knows to much. From what I've seen and hears from "Emanda" is that he doesnt want death in her revenge because she wants them to suffer in life. So even though Emily will get in the way of her plans I doubt she'll kill her or have her killed.
As for Declan...I'm sorry but he bugged me. Jack I'm undecided for. I love the whole "I've loved you my whole life but I don't know why" is too ehh for me. I like Daniel for Amanda because he's not at fault for his parents mistakes. He was a child. And as far as we've seen to date he wants to change an has proven that.
Tyler has to go! I'm tired of his whole storyl

As a true Jack/Amanda believer, I was really happy with this episode.
1. Amanda brought up the 'I love you' because she felt guilty about something and not because she spontanousely wanted to tell Daniel that...Which makes me believe she is not really falling for him...
2.Also, when they kiss at the end, the whole scene they are sitting on the bench that Jack made, and as they kiss you can see that she is holding onto the bench...That has got to mean something and I'm pretty sure it's not : Oh I'm grabbing this bench because that kiss is so good (lol)

I'm hoping the real Emily doesn't turn out to be the same type of friend Tyler is because I adore her for what she did to Frank, it was beautiful karma for what he did to Lydia and Nolan.
I couldn't believe how stupid he was though in this episode. The lengths he has gone to keep the Grayson's secret and protect Victoria should have sent off warning flags in his mind when the real Emily told him to meet her in the parking lot after asking if he told anyone else (the moment she said that I knew he was in danger). After all, she willingly switched identities with Amanda Clarke, it's ridicious that it never occured to him that she might have loyalty to Amanda.

This episode was great!
Victoria - It showed why Victoria gave David up, she couldn't risk loosing Daniel as she truly loves him. She said herself that he was what had bonded her and Conrad.
Emily - It's clear that she is committed to taking them down, even at the cost of herself. She is after all human and Jack is a major complication because of two things the connection she shares with him and he was one of good things about her childhood and she doesn't want to lose that. It was good to learn more about Emily's past as well gives more credibility to things as a whole.
Nolan - I think one of the reason Emily is gruff with him is because while he is very smart; He lacks what drives Emily not to mention her training/conditioning. He is an asset and Emily knows this or she wouldn't have gone to him after he declared he was out of the Revenge came in the previous episode. There is also the fact that he doesn't know to quit when he is ahead. Him and Tyler was a jaw dropper for me

I think that this is a really great episode that fills in some of the blanks about how Emily/Amanda came to be who she is. I had always wondered if she'd forged this new persona on her own or if she had help from someone else. Earlier episodes made it obvious that Emily had dropped off Nolan's radar after she was realized from juvenile detention.
I am so glad that the show confirmed my suspicions that Tyler is not only poor but gay. I was so tired of people saying that he was just a con artist. Anyone with eyes could see that there was something else going on with his obsession with Daniel. Sure he wanted Daniel's money...but also his body.
The twist in the story of Nolan sleeping with Tyler is an interesting one. I am just glad to see our number one buddy getting a little attention from someone. The rich people don't like him because he is new money. The poor people don't like him because his an eccentric rich guy. Nolan needs some love from someone.

I wish we didn't know Emily would be successful (even if Victoria or others actually are plotting against her in secret but unsuccessfully so far). Emily should treat Nolan better. The sex tape won't be of much use. Nolan might try a long con. Declan is badly written and his voice is annoying. Amanda should be fun but she'll probably be killed. I don't like love triangles as they're rarely done properly/entertainingly.

Agree with some of the comments posted about amanda and her rudeness 2 nolan. Like i said in my previou post its going 2 bite her in the ass. Hes going 2 get fed up w he snottyness and kick her 2 the curb and find an aly with one of her many foes. She needs 2 get off her high horse and give credit where credit is do. After all he was very appreciative of her fathers help and loyal and has been nothing but loyal and truthful 2 her this far. I realy like nolan and hope he stays a good guy but in the premier episode when everyone is @ the party amanda and nolan glance @ each other and dont seem 2 be very friendly. I also believe that jack is the one that shoots daniel. Was it jealousy or money? Did he chooce 2 shoot daniel on his own or was he put up 2 it by someone else? Does daniel die? Did amanda finaly fall 4 jack and a love triangle thickend the plot and she thought it best 2 kill 2 birds with one stone and get daniel outa the way and get bk @ victoria?

Declan was WAY out of line at the dinner party. My husband and I looked at each other, after his outburst, and wondered if we had missed something. Declan may have been sniping here and there, during the entire evening, but when he let loose both barrels, it seemed to have come out of nowhere, as if we missed whatever it was that set him off LOL The whole poor-guy-with-a-chip-on-his-shoulder thing is cliche' and unworthy of the writers! Sorry, Connor :(
Nolan--I'm not sure what good a gay sex tape is going to do for him, other than maybe piss off Ashley? In the purportedly-enlightened culture that surrounds the Hamptons' smart-set, it shouldn't faze anyone else, in the least, including the Graysons .
The real Emily is going to hang around, as we saw in the preview. Just like Ivy in GG, she's going to get a taste of the 'good life' and want some of it for herself. She just happens to have some really good blackmail material on Amanda, that will keep her in the high-life, at least

Ohhhhh! Getting better and better. This show is definatly gonna be around for awhile if the keep up the awsome story line up with intrigue, drama, love triangles, mysteries, ruthlessness and just plain juicy. Wht most shocked me was the nolan, tyler thang. Lol, i was definatly not expecting that 4 a moment. I was a lil suspicious of tyler @ 1st everytime he sabataged daniel relationship w amanda but quickly forgot about it and simply thought he just wanted 2 make andrew look bad and steal money from the conrads which is in fact wht hes doing, but gay, and with nolan no less ewwww. Haivng the hots 4 his best bud now that i get, but nolan! Lol. Funny nolan video taping the sex act and watiching it while on th phone w amanda. smart he will definatly use it 2 blackmail his boy toy when hes done using and abusing him. Lol. I knew tyler was full of shit and had no $. Wts up w ashley thinking tyler is hot 4 being a con man guess it turns out shes not as innocent as she looks. Liked how amand

I hope the stereotypical "poor good boy" Jack, who had at least a half a million dollar yacht and was about to sail of to Haiti, and leave his father, who was about to loose his livelihood, looses the girl.
The Emily, Victoria, and Nolan characters are the best, as are the actresses, and actor who play them. I don't watch television, don't even own one, but I get "Revenge" from iTunes, as I did with "The Killing", and before that, "Mad Men". This is a very show.

I totally disliked the show last night! If, as the show represents, Emily is really out for revenge in my opinion she would stay in the background almost invisable. Common sense says "Don't bring attention to yourself" And yet here we are again with Emily center stage. Stupid! She is begging to get caught. And this new Amanda plot, retarded at best!! I will not mourn for Frank as he offered no real value to the program once he went after Lydia. And Nolan the only real supporter of Emilys plan is proving to have his own agenda and with him hooking up with Tyler that starts becoming too many people that will foil Emily's plan. No it looks like it's time to go back to watching CSI during that time slot!! All the subplots just ruined this program for me...
