On Revolution this week, Rachel sought revenge, Miles looked for Charlie and Tom drew the line. All of their goals and actions were driven by one thing: love.

Even as crazy, irrational and odd as love can be.

Monroe’s drone strike in "The Longest Day" allowed alliances and tensions to be reexamined. Tom, finally, was willing to draw his own line when it came to Jason. It’s sad that he needed to see his son battered and bruised from the drone strike to finally find some sympathy, but at least he knows how terrible of a man he is.

Tom is aware that all of his sins will come back to him one day, but the actions he’s taken have left him mostly alone and isolated from his family; and he refuses to let the same happen to his child. The sad part of it all is Tom is likely to revert right back to being his usual self now that Jason is out of danger and Tom’s dislike of Charlie as Jason and Charlie grow even closer isn’t going to help mend their relationship.

The flashbacks with Miles and Rachel seven years after the blackout made likeable Miles into an absolutely ruthless and evil man. Quite frankly, Miles is a complete jerk in the past. He’s rude, disparaging and physical with Rachel. He wants his brother to find a way to turn the power back on, but Rachel knows any more power will quickly escalate the situation for the worse.

Rachel was willing to give up everything if it meant the world couldn’t have power. Now, Rachel is willing to give the entire world power all so one paranoid dictator can be taken completely off the map. It’s a drastic change.

Rachel’s use of the nanite device that was in Danny’s body to heal her broken leg... I’m not sure how I feel about it. I’m more than willing to suspend my disbelief, but as Revolution Season 1 comes to a close, it’s getting more difficult to do so. The blackout used to be the only suspension of disbelief. Now there’s nanites, towers, pendants, computer AI... and whatever else might be coming down the pipeline.

With Monroe wiping out the Georgia Federation, it forces President Kelly to seriously consider surrender unless Miles can think of something. Most everything seems to hinging on if Rachel and Aaron can make it to the Tower and turn the power on - and with Nora in Monroe's possession, things are heating up as Revolution heads towards its season finale.
