Revenge closed out it’s second season run in style last night. Seriously all good shows deserve a grand 2-hour finale.
Below is a look at the cliffhanger-heavy double episode:
Another death befalls.. Yes, it was revealed previously that a major character would be biting the dust. And it just so happened to be (usually a side-character) Declan Porter.
Why did he have to leave us now? Just when things were looking up for him.. I feel sorry for Charlotte now that she must raise their child on her own. It actually got me a little teary when he passed away, Nolan and Jack’s reactions where just too emotional and the way Declan comforted Charlotte by saying he was okay.. It was all just very bittersweet.
Now Charlotte must go through the exact same thing Jack is going through by becoming a single parent. I really can’t wait to see how she takes everything.. Will she rebel against her family again (as Emily said so)?
Jack loses it.. and do you blame him? He went through such a hard-time this year. Not only did he get involved in all that random bar drama, he lost his wife and the mother of his child! And now his lost Declan? It was just the icing on top for him to lose it at the Graysons.
I was literally on the edge when he arrived at the Graysons mansion and threatened to shoot Victoria (i knew he wouldn’t do it though) as i thought Emily would come in and reveal her big secret than (yes i was tricked by the promos again). But once that little segment passed i thought he was really capable of killing Conrad with all that anger he had.
Lets hope season 3 is a breath of fresh air for Jack.. and i’m sure it will after Emily’s big confession (We’ll get to that soon.)
Is Aiden Dead?.. Among the many cliffhangers of the night, could spoiled rich kid Daniel Grayson be capable of murder? The last we saw Aiden was his fight with Daniel who spotted a nearby gun and then later Daniel turned up to his dad’s speech with a little blood on his sleeve. Well to be honest i;m sure he is alive and made a deal with Aiden that has something to do with bringing down his father! But that’s just my crazy theory. What do you Revengers think went down?
Conrad at his darkest yet.. Usually i’m used to a little bad Conrad, but last night really exposed his true colors. He doesn’t care who he brings down in achieving his own selfish goals, first he tried to kill Jack once learning of his pact with Ashley which ended up taking poor Declan’s own life, then he has the nerve to bring down his so-called ‘wife’ Victoria, who also finally had her last straw with him too (that spit was just epic). Before finally learning of his involvement with the Initative, that truly made me hate the man even more.
I’m really hoping a mother-son team up between Victoria and Daniel goes down next season to finally bring down this evil man.
Nolan locked away.. Nolan had quite the rough-time during this finale. Not only was he coming to deals with the death of Declan, he was then arrested and charged for cyber-terrorism. And to top it all off, he was delivered a message from a lost love one.. Padma! in which i’m sure I remember was recorded before she died, unless she’s alive somehow and is actually a baddie like we all thought?
Emily’s path of revenge overcomes one huge hurdle.. Emily found out that the very man (Takeda) who set her own her path of revenge had his own agenda thanks to Aiden. Apparently Takeda’s fiance was killed off on Flight 197 adding yet another member to the death toll.
Emotionally speaking, Emily underwent some huge changes.. Aiden found out about Jack and decided to leave allowing Emily to decide if she’ll join him later.
But the major shock of the night was of coarse Emily finally deciding to drop her revenge agenda down (well at least for a bit) and reveal to Jack who she really is! It was truly a jaw-dropping moment, but seriously how did Jack realize before she even told him? Or did he just suspect it all these years before?
Season 3 is certainly going to be a hell’ of a lot more interesting.. now that he knows.
Victoria’s son finds his way home.. Patrick, her long lost son that Mrs. Grayson gave up just as a teenager returned to his mother’s arms after recently deciding to look for him again. Down goes Victoria’s glass of wine the minute she saw him (cheesy, but wouldn’t you drop it to?).
Jeesh.. season 3 has a lot of potential right now, let’s hope the new show-runner next season wisely directs the path it will take from here on out.
Side-Notes.. Ashley i actually like you now, now that you’ve found some morals. And how epic was the music score tonight? (Wished they added a montage song like Florence’s one last season though).
