Anyone that has yet to watch last
night’s episode of Revenge, titled
‘Confession’, or are simply not caught up in the series, I urge you to do so
now. This is not a spoiler free blog. THIS
REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! You’ve been warned.
This week’s episode was actually a
pretty good one. The revelation that Aiden is not actually betraying Emily was
quite welcome. In that last scene where she touches his scar, it was heart
wrenching, she so obviously wants to be with him, but she can’t, not if she
wants her vengeance wrought upon the guilty people. Still, it almost makes me
want her relationship with Aiden to be who she ends up with, despite being
someone who thought she belonged with Jack.
And Jack, the way he was looking
at her this week, at the point right before Margo walked in, was so subtle but
perfect. Obviously he wants to protect his son, but he also does still care
about her, and I’m just glad he does. Though, he is awfully short, compared to
Emily in heels. But I digress.
Nolan as always was hilarious. I
loved when he was telling the party planner he didn’t need SeaWorld, he just
need an enclosed space with a few dolphins. It was probably my favourite line
of the episode, and you’d find it below if it wasn’t so long and I really
wanted to get to being finished my reviews for the night. Otherwise with Nolan,
I felt kind of bad for him when he realized who Patrick was, though I’m not
surprised if he’s the man Nolan will give his heart to at some point. It also
makes me hope more that Patrick sticks around for a while.
Before learning that Aiden was
really just helping Emily out, I was wondering why he hadn’t told Victoria that
Emily is actually Amanda Clarke. I suppose that helped to cement in the back of
my head that he wasn’t actually going after Emily. But at the same time, why
had he searched through her house for the box (which had thankfully been hidden
at Nolan’s)? That’s one point that now no longer makes sense.
I just loved the fact that Nolan
was wearing a t-shirt with his mug shot on it, just something classic I would
expect him to do. And boy is that Lorde song Royals making its rounds through
television. Last week it was on The
Vampire Diaries, this week it’s on Revenge.
The girl does have a beautiful voice, especially being that she’s only seventeen.
I expect a long career for her if she keeps up with this.
My one kind of minor issue with
this episode was the whole Daniel trying to keep Margo from interviewing Nolan.
What is up with that? I mean, doesn’t everyone know Nolcorp was owned by Grayson
Global, so that can’t be the reason he’s trying to shield him from the magazine?
I honestly just don’t get his problem.
All in all this was a very
pleasant episode. I knew there was no way Conrad would be able to confess, but
I’m wondering what killed (is he dead?) the priest. How did they crash? I’m
curious to learn what happened next episode. I’m also curious to know why Emily
would rather hurt Victoria more than Conrad, is it because Victoria betrayed
her father more because she was in love with him?
My rating: 7.5 out of 10.
Best Line:
“Or flannel.” – Charlotte says to Jack about what he can’t
wear to Nolan’s party.
All right, that’s all for tonight folks. I’m off to bed,
maybe read a little more Harry Potter and
the Philosopher’s Stone. Check back in tomorrow for reviews of How I Met Your Mother, Bones, Sleepy Hollow, and The
Blacklist.
