When Emily politely tells her it isn’t going to happen Lydia decides her new mission is to find Emily’s weak spot in order to exploit it. Lydia does the rounds and visits Emily, declaring that she wants her house back. It’s saddening because Ashley might be the only sincere friend Emily has at this point. Up until now Emily’s friendship with Ashley has seemed very genuine, but this episode sees her using Ashley as a pawn in her schemes. It really helps to give a sense of the character being a fish out of water, which is exactly what she is. I have to praise the Revenge producers for allowing Ashley to stand out by giving her overly British phraseology that seems so out of place next to all the Americanisms. He’s a constant annoyance and I feel his comeuppance is long overdue already. Tyler lingers in the background listening in on people’s conversations, wheedling his way into the Grayson family and proving to be a cunning snitch. It took the theatrical factor up a notch and that’s not a bad thing in my eyes. This might have seemed too soap opera like for some viewers, but I can appreciate it.
Victoria slaps him in an action reminiscent of something out of Eastenders. Frank is constantly over-stepping the mark and his loyalty to Victoria is evidently driven by personal feelings towards her. When questioned by his wife, Conrad, who by this stage we know has a complete lack of conscience, says he had no choice but to give her the money.
Here’s what.Īs Victoria continues to slink around in overly tight dresses, sipping tea (or possibly whiskey?) from china teacups, Frank informs her that Conrad spent the night in the city with Lydia and bares the transfer receipt detailing the money Conrad gave her. In a flash-forward similar to the one we saw in the pilot we’re left wondering what happened to poor Lydia Davis to cause her to go crashing to her death. In the end, the guilty always fall.’ Tell that to Lydia, who in the first scene comes falling from the sky and crashes onto a taxi.
‘ In revenge, as in life, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. We know that right from the start of the episode it doesn’t end well for her. Lydia returns to the Hamptons playing her part as the bitterly rebuffed woman, determined to carry out her vendetta against Emily and the Grayson’s, and recover her old life. It was jam-packed with twists and edge of your seat moments that prove the show is only just hotting up. Don’t be fooled in to thinking that this means the plot is dying out. Whilst previous episodes have featured a different revenge target each week, there was no new target in this one.
