Revenge 4.6 "Damage" Review

                                              
Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) tells David (James Tupper) he shouldn't go ahead with the interview and thinks he could say things about her which she doesn't want anyone to know.  Charlotte (Christa B Allen) wakes up next to Vince (Les Shontz) and finds that he's got a gun and is preparing to kidnap her (what again! ha).  She tries to reason with him but he manages to get her into the chair, saying she's trying to make herself out to be a person saying personal things about her.  She manages to hit him with the chair, fight him off and eventually he stumbles back and hits his head on the step in the room.  Yeah, we were meant to believe that Charlotte all of a sudden became Wonder Woman and found all that strength to fight him off.  She recalls him calling her "bait."  Obviously that must've been bait for David since she finds clippings and photos in the locked drawer.  Charlotte calls Emily (Emily VanCamp) and she has to clean up her mess.  She said she thought of calling the police but found the clippings and so she had to protect David.

Emily looks at the file and notices a photo of David where Vince had been stalking him.  She tells Charlotte she's hit rock bottom and that could've been her lying there dead. Whilst cleaning up the scene and making it seem like he overdosed.   Charlotte thinks Emily's killed people cos of her past, but she puts the record straight telling her she's never killed anyone.  It then clicks that Aiden died of a drug overdose and that Emily must've killed him.  Yes, of course cos that's what you do to people you love.  Emily revealing that Victoria killed him, not her.

Charlotte tells Victoria she's checking into rehab but Victoria says she'll recommend some places, which she doesn't want.  Also telling her she knows about Aiden and how she killed him cos of Pascal, but that Emily was only trying to do the right thing for David, she didn't kill Pascal.  Victoria can't stop her as she loses another child.  Here we go again in circles.  Charlotte also tells Daniel (Josh Bowman) what she's doing and tells him there's one more thing he has to say as he tells her she's the one who's always told him the truth.  Take it this wasn't about Emily then, but something else.

Victoria reads about Daniel and Louise (Elena Satine) in Page Six and how she bedded him, when Louise meets her, she says she did it for her cos she knew Daniel's her son and how she helped her in the hospital but Victoria says she was only there for a day, so she couldn't really have been like a mother to her.  Louise coming up with "life has moments" or something along those lines which Victoria doesn't understand the meaning of.  She meets Margaux (Karinne Vanasse) to talk about the interview with David giving her a list of questions and she tells Victoria how David's asked for Nolan (Gabriel Mann) to be present.  Obviously David is going to get back at Nolan, as I said last episode. Which is exactly what he does.

Emily calls Nolan to tell him about he photo and how the date doesn't match with David saying he was being held hostage, but Nolan doesn't think she should be investigating him and he won't help her break into files.  Which is a pity, cos she was saving him from the humiliation and hurt that David was about to inflict on him.  As he accuses Nolan of stealing Amanda's money and getting rich on it. Nolan doesn't know what to say and leaves, with Victoria revelling in the shame of it all, as was Margaux, can't wait til they both get theirs.

David pays Nolan a visit again and Nolan doesn't know how to explain things without telling him that Amanda is alive.  He punches Nolan and Nolan says he is as bad as his father.  Emily returns and sees David leaving, Nolan telling her that he's the result of her not coming clean with David.  She shows him the photo and also other photos she took when she breaks into the silo where David was allegedly being held prisoner.  She finds everything was rusted, except for the leg of the bed which was standing in water.  Also those chalk marks on the wall, marking the number of days he was there didn't get erased either.   Telling Nolan about Vince and how he was following David for days cos he must've been unhappy over the handling of Flight of 197 and obviously still holds David responsible.

Margaux has a tennis match where Louise shows up and so does Daniel, who was looking at office space, Daniel telling Louise she knows all about Margaux cos he told her.  Victoria tells Daniel to stay away from Louise cos she was in the psychiatric facility Victoria checked into when she was at a low.  Yes Victoria it was you who checked yourself in, the lies never end with her.  She didn't want Daniel to know cos she didn't want him to see her life in shambles.  She later tells David that she'll always be there for him and how she knows the loss of children.

Funny when Emily has her flashback when she watches David go swimming at the beach, when she was a little girl, he has beard, whereas all the flashbacks they used to show with him in the earlier seasons were never with a beard!  Victoria's got her red Special K dress back, or at least one of them, ha.

Jack (Nick Wechsler) and Ben (Brian Hallisay) found out that a policeman has died and Ben recalls him from the Grayson FBI file.  He thinks he might have had something to do with Conrad's death and asks Jack's former partner, Kokame (Eltony Williams) about him, who blabs that last time Ben was accusing Jack of being the killer.  Jack may have thought about it for what he did to Amanda and Declan, but he didn't do it.  He doesn't want him continuing with the case cos it'll reflect back on him. After the wake, Ben looks in the garage and Jack catches him there, when he sees the infinity symbol carved onto the cot there, Jack tells him Ben wants to help.  Someone was seen leaving the garage and the policeman also came into a lot of money.

Emily and Nolan go over David's interview with the FBI and the photos of his back, she knows he's lying and that's another reason why she can't tell him she's still alive.  David and that entire story of being held hostage was fishy from the start and clearly Emily doesn't get her brains from him, leaving silly pieces of evidence behind when he should've been on the ball if he was planning this for a long time.  No wonder he's so easily manipulated by Victoria and how he fell for Conrad and her setting him up to take the fall.  I mean just like accusing Nolan of taking the money, if he liked him as a son, why would he even think Nolan could have done something like that.
