Revenge takes the week off next Sunday before returning November 25 with an extra-special Thanksgiving episode. We'll meet Victoria's mother (guest star Adrienne Barbeau) and flash back frequently to 2006.

In "Lineage," Victoria receives a surprise visit from her estranged mother and all the baggage that comes with it. Events playing out six years ago and beyond will shed new light on why Victoria is who she is.

See our extensive photo gallery for many images from this flashback-heavy episode, then check out the promo below, in which the tension and outright disgust between the two women is palpable:

The bulk of the hour flashes back to 2006, when Emily met fellow Takeda protege Aiden, Jack and Declan's father Carl caught up in some trouble, and Ashley worked in a different capacity than she does now.

Madeleine Stowe's Victoria will also think back a lot further than that, to when she was 15, "right at the point where you know the events happening around her are going to change her," creator Mike Kelley teases.
