Revenge returns January 6, and when it does, an unlikely alliance will form.

After one of the series' fun winks at itself and its fans - Victoria pretending she's never noticed the view of Emily's beach house from her balcony - she gets down to business and pleads for Emily's help.

Daniel, she says, is in over his head running Grayson Global, lacking the ruthless demeanor required of such a position. Only Emily, Victoria says, can bring her son back from the precipice of ... something.

Very bad things await Danny, she's convinced of that. Obviously Emily agrees to help, and obviously she's going to be running her own game. But where does the Revengenda end and the genuine emotions begin?
