First of all, I actually like Amabnda and I hate what Emily did to her! She lied and ruined her relationship for nothing, thi whole thing seems to cold evenfor ems..I another note,with her mom being evil and all revenge is reminding me SO MUCH of Alias! That revengy Takeada camp reminded me of another Jenifer Garner related thing, Elektra..I'm really curious about her omknow, and even more about the deceased whm. If he love her, how could he want to kill her daughter?

Declan: what an idiot!
Ashley: is probably sleeping with Conrad. I like the way Victoria doesn't even try to get rid of her.
Lydia: we don't know if she's dead because they didn't tell us.
and the best for the end, Nolan: he's bisexual, so cute CEO storyline is okay for me. I've always seen chemistry between Ems and him, I mean romantic chemistry. He's my first choice for Ems but I won't mind if she ends up with Jack. I like the idea of Ems getting back to the person she should have always been when her vendetta is over, and only Jack knows the true Amanda. I wish the character had more charisma.

Great episode! Revenge is such an entertaining show. Love it!
Emily: She may not have a job but the girl's busy as always, she wants to get revenge on the Graysons and to find her mum, but she has to deal with her pregnant faux self and her first love, her ex-fiance, her ex-kung fu boyfriend, her best friend and her half sister.
Daniel: He keeps being shocked by his mum and dad's lies, poor boy! Sometimes you can almost hear the thoughts echoing in his empty dead. Even Ashley can play him easily! He's definitely too dumb for Emily whom he is clearly still in love with.
Jack: As clueless as Daniel but he seems to be a good guy. He's not in love with (Faux)Amanda and he better not be, he has no idea how many lies she's already told him.
(faux)Amanda: lost girl (and murderer) trying to be happy, but is it possible when you pretend to be someone you're not? We still don't know what happen when she was gone with Takeda.
Conrad and Victoria: those two belong together, I'll be happy to

How about the WHM being Emily's uncle? You could see that Kara was concerned aBout him, and pocket watches are sort of grandfatherly, so WHM had his father's pocket watch with the daughter's picture. and maybe WHM was just encouraging Emily to back off her hunt, and never truly had planned on killing her..... And maybe there could be a chance WHzm survives since we didn't see the body as we have before..... I'm hoping, I adore that actor.

As for the question of whom Emily is better with...well, guys, there is such a thing as friendship between a man and a woman and that is what Nolan and Emily have. I just wished he could defend himself more, you may never know if Emily ever ends up him protecting her physically. I am still Team Daniel! Gosh, his "I am wish Ashley" line...please, he is still in love with her, and i can't wait for these two to be back together. But Aiden is a good addition to the mix, Emily clearly has something to resolve with him and I would actually not mind her being with him for a while, just to see how Daniel would react...yeah, I am into that stuff!
Declan is an idiot, and I just feel bad for Jack, his character is just so ugh this season and he seems so miserable!

A great Revenge episode, as always! So glad I started watching it and caught up with the latest episodes! Don't know where to even begin but Victoria deserves a standing ovation, she is a true puppet master. I guess you can judge it by how Emily is always surprised at what this woman does next. Don't get me wrong Emily is great at what she does, but Victoria is still excellent. I wish we could see and know more about her past, there has to be something in her past that formed such a strong character!

Eventful night on Revenge! I think Emily /Amanda has the most chemistry with Nolan but it's just not sexual! Aiden is hot but just as with Jack the real heat was with Daniel! And even the I'm with Ashley now comment doesn't fly, He wants Em and bad! And I'm beginning to think that eventually Victoria will want him to be with her too! Vic obviously knows who the real Amanda is by now as well!
I sure hope they don't go thinking they are going to take Nolan and make him straight now with the cute little CEO! Even if she is cute as hell!!! Dear writers Gay men just don't wake up one day and say she's hot!

I think we will be yelling at both Aiden and Nolan in just a few episodes because when you strip back their outward guises, they seem to both have the same opinion of Emily's whole deal and if a gun was held to both heads, they want her to drop it. Nolan because he thinks of her as his little sister and Aiden because I don't think he actually left her in 2008, I bet Takeda kept them from leaving together and decided breaking her heart would help make her who he needs her to be. I think Takeda is actually the real threat to Emily here, he obviously (to me) is after the Inititive and I have a feeling that Grayson Global is the only public face of the organization. He had been working with Aiden who might also be Anti Initivive, but just has a personal vendetta. But, Amanda Clarke has a vendetta against Grayson Global which is a better avenue for Takeda. Now that she is all focused on her mother, Grayson Global is recovering and she does Takeda no more good than Aiden does. I imagin

I still say WHM is connected to emily/amanda via a bloodline somewhere and most likely tried to kill her because of the mum's mental issues. And Lydia who knows let alone care, she was just a sideline to pass airtime. But to further that theory of the plane I do think it will be interesting to find out in the coming weeks as to what happened if whm had the capsule....
Emily needs to remain alone and stop falling in love which seems to be her weakness and reason why she can't move on in her quest for vengeance.
I just want more flashbacks of the 1992 crash and explanations why of all families and corporations, the graysons were chosen.

My guess was that the plane did in fact crash, as seen on the news at the end of Season 1, and that Victoria simply walked off before takeoff, while Lydia did in fact die. How Victoria left without raising suspicions among the other passengers, or whether she knew it was going to crash, who knows, but that was my interpretation (obviously, this being Revenge, you can never be 100 percent sure).
As for Emily and Nolan, I agree their relationship might be the best thing about the show. However I always viewed it as more of a friendship, or even brother-sister relationship, rather than a romantic one, therefore he's not in the poll above. But make no mistake, Nolan rules.
daniel is so handsome and hot!!! i seriously hate jack!!! oh i aiden is so muscular,love him,hot guy!! and finally emily thorne love her,revenger!!!!!!!!!!!

To my knowledge Lydia IS dead.
The producers said at the end of season 1 that of the 3 possible deaths at least one would indeed be fatal.
Since Char and Queen V are ok, Lydia has to be dead.
I think Victoria survived by getting the heck off of that plane after WHM called her (as seen in this episode).

(continued) Is Lydia dead??? We still don't know. And did the plane really crash? How the hell did Victoria ACTUALLY survive??
Nolan and Ems still have that info, here's hoping they can still bring down part of the initiative.

I think Victoria's comment about "if that" is more about her suspicions on FauxManda. Not Ems and WHM. Two things that disqualify him as her mom to me as the "you must have gotten that from your mother" (disparaging her father) about her fight, and the fact that he DID end up trying to kill her. If he IS her father, he sure as hell didn't know it. He likely only met her after Amanda was born when the hit was put on her. WHY he took to her is beyond me.
I understand why Ems would be mad about him being killed b/c there go her leads. Aiden was pretty sloppy I think in his handling of it. I hope Ems finds her sooner than later - would make a more interesting arc.
I do NOT want an Ems and Nolan romance. True male-female friendships are awesome and they don't ALL need to be ruined that way. I still like the yearning chemistry between Jack and real Amanda/Ems, and don't hate the Porters. LOVE Victoria even as I wish I could hate her. Is Lydia dead??? We still don't know. A

To all the WHM is Emily/Amanda's daddy theorists:
Seriosuly? Now why would he have beaten his daughter/almost killed her?
I mean, I guess that he had some sort of relationship with Kara which makes it strange that even as a close friend/lover he would beat down Kara's daughter, but if he was her father... no way!
I dunno what he was up to but I can't believe that he was her father! *_*

@serenityq2 i totally agree, i have never felt for emily/amanda tbh last season couldn't care less about her character i just wanted her to do her revenge but ofc she didn't unless we wouldn't have had season 2. only character that interests me and why i still kept watching was victoria. she steals every scene and compels you to focus on her. emily/amanda is disconnected and obv still cut up on how aiden treated her, i do feel writers are forcing us to care for emily/amanda mummy issues but tbh i just want to know more on her father and if he is alive or not (my money that he is and is now the mastermind behind the higher power) now that would be such a good twist

everything was AMAZING!! and next week's episode my gosh.. they're gonna make my heart stop.
Emily is not a hero. who has she ever saved? she has never shown any compassion ever. she is selfish, emotionless, arrogant. its only now in this episode they try to show a more compassionate side to her with her past but its too late for me to fall for it. after 20 some episodes of her being one way i cant buy her being anything else especially when is manipulating everyone around her, how can you even tell when its genuine? how can anyone root for especially how she is leading on like four guys, not returning the affections of any but at the same time ruining their chances with someone else? how she keeps mistreating amanda? amanda needs to pop that baby out so she give emily the what for

Following up on the theories posted below me, I too now believe that emily/amanda could be the daughter of WHM or the granddaughter. Either way they are related. The 'I love you' can be taken in any way so kudos to the writers for being ambiguous. Nolan needed to eave in order not to be seen s a target from this higher authority. The Fauxmanda situation, she is a ticking bomb and needs to disappear now to return with kara and help emily/amanda. Takeda position in this is still vague to me and i'm intrigued to find out more on him. Declan no sympathy here, we knew he was going to get caught but the question now is what price are the porters now going to have to pay...and new girl with nolan i don't trust her loyalty or motive one bit!! and ashley's role still needs to be clear, flashblack to that situation please
Nolan: You could be my bodyguard and I could be your Whitney.
