Revenge 4.21 "Aftermath" Review

Emily (Emily VanCamp) returns home to find the firemen putting out the fire and David (James Tupper) runs up saying he saw the flames when he got home.  She says no one  was home which is just as well.  Nolan (Gabriel Mann) spends the night with Tony (Josh Spence) and he's made him breakfast but he has to work.  He then checks his messages with Emily telling him the house is on fire and she needs him.  Nolan asks her what the world looks like sans Victoria and she still can't believe it was an explosion.  She says the revenge is over and Nolan's falling for Tony and wants a vacation
away from the Hamptons which is is good for him and he's got a private jet if she wants to fix things with Jack (Nick Wechsler).  She has to fix things with Jack herself later and she needs his help with Mason (Roger Bart).

Mason meets with her in her car and he pretends he has a cold from the plane and how he doesn't touch the car with his hands but she doesn't notice.  Her father's alive and she's trying to have the life she wants.  He wants to remind her that Emily already told him about a new identity wherever he wants it.  He hates the Maldives.  The Amanda Clark story will be believed by people and will destroy whatever Norman Rockwell life she's going to have with her father.  He'll give it all to the papers, Homeland Security and it's her move.

Jack calls Nolan to find out about the fire and also to ask if Emily did it.  It's not a poetic end to Emily's revenge.  Nolan reassures him Emily wouldn't kill anyone.  Jack isn't sure but he knows her so well yet he still has to ask.  I mean he loves her why the need to doublecheck on her.  She needs a pre-dated paper trail for Mason from Nolan, showing Conrad killed Gordon Murphy.  He can do that and more fool Emily for not getting any proof of Mason being alive, even if it was a photo or a recording.  They made her rather lax now she's not revenging.  Stevie (Gail O'Grady) heard his call to Nolan and asks if Emily's responsible for this.  Even she's asking now, like she ever killed anyone. She's worried that Emily still affects him.  But he's not going back there.

Emily takes the papers to the DOJ saying she found a hidden compartment in the floor of her house and if the fire hadn't started it, she wouldn't have seen it.  It's got Conrad's documents in it.  They'll investigate anything about him.  Also the DOJ has no cameras in their building or outside.  How perfect for security purposes.  Especially with Mason outside.  Louise (Elena Satine) isn't convinced Victoria killed herself, cos she's been in and out of mental institutions and she doesn't think she killed herself.  She scheduled a mani-pedi for the following week.  She finds blood on Victoria's room door and assumes someone attacked Victoria.  She says it wasn't a suicide at all.

Well the Revenge standards are slipping no wonder they ended it.  Emily/Amanda went from being one step ahead to being framed by Victoria and the two wenches even figure out Victoria was murdered.  Well she wasn't.  Also Emily not realizing Mason left no prints behind and yet she met in her car.  Of course he was busy planting evidence when he dropped the tissue.  Since his cold also miraculously vanished at the DOJ building.  Don't know why she even bothered clearing his name.  Mason mentioning he knows what it's like to have your house go up in flames.  Emily's lowered her guard cos as I said in the previous ep, Mason is her only alibi cos she missed Jack's plane and it's unlikely he'll help her considering he's that sort of a two faced jerk.  Siding on whoever gave him the big bucks or whichever way the wind blew, in this case it was Victoria;  yeah two losers getting together.  Ben's (Brain Hallisay) taking this jilted lover thing too far as well, he could really be in love with a killer and he's behaving like a woman scorned!  All of a sudden everyone has to doubt Emily and think she's capable of murder.  That was Daniel and the Grayson's and Victoria. What about how Victoria killed Aiden.  That was swept under the carpet.  

Louise accuses Emily of killing Victoria on the same spot her son died (like she cares.)  Emily says   she didn't do it.  She's going to help them prove she attacked her it the garage, that was Louise, or Victoria set it up.  Think it was Victoria now.  The police call her and David disposes of the poison he got for Victoria down the sink.  She tells him about her death being ruled a suicide and he's been called in too.  They're covering their bases.  They're the prime suspects and she doesn't want anything bad happening to him.  He tells her he was working on the boat by himself and no one saw him.  Of course his alibi is even better than hers.  Nolan tells Tony about the vacation and he wants to go but he prefers tequila, not pina coladas.  Nolan saying he'd like to shack up with him someday and slapping himself for going too far too soon.  Tony however later tells him he's adopting and he's getting a baby in two days.  He's a single dad and wants it that way even though Nolan suggests he's not high maintanance.

David sees Emily in the room and Ben asks if she's worried about him.  Ben believes she's guilty and Margaux (Karine Vanasse) was the last one to see her.  If it wasn't Emily then one of her friends could've done it.  She was at her house with Ben and then at the airport.  She missed his plane but tells Ben about Mason.  Which is hard to believe since he's dead. She gives him her car keys for forensics, but obviously his phone's disconnected.  She saw him the other day and there's no security cameras in the entire city of New York now.

She bumps into Jack on the way out.  He had to come in for questioning since his leaving so soon was seen as suspect.  She denies killing Victoria.  When he heard about the fire he's glad she wasn't hurt.  She asks why he didn't say goodbye and they're interrupted.  Emily tells him to come by the beach house, but he's leaving after this.  She overhears the policewoman ask if David's alibi at the hospital checks out.  So that's Nolan and Emily in the same boat regarding being alone.  Don't think that'll last for Emily though and I so want Louise to get her just desserts regarding trying to electrocute Victoria but of course that is something that was forgotten and I will harp on about that until it's resolved, which is highly unlikely that it will.

Ben questions Jack with such contempt that he suspects he could be in on it with her, if he wasn't on that plane, which he'll have to check out.  He hasn't spoken with Emily until now when she assured him she didn't do it.  He doesn't know that she and Ben broke up and Ben congratulates him for winning cos she raced to the airport to stop him.   He can't see how he'd move away so quickly when he's lived here his whole life.  He's doing Jack a favour by keeping this off the record.  That's why he called him down cos phonecalls are recorded.  Jack wanted to know if this isn't a conflict of interest cos he's working on his girlfriend's case.

Emily waits for David outside the hospital and finds out the doctor corroborated his story.  He didn't tell her cos he saw that look in her face when she was so happy after everything was over when there weren't anymore battles to be fought.  He hasn't seen that look since she was a girl.  he doesn't have to pretend with her but he wants to.  She says they're in this together.  He feels better she knows now. He's not there when the police come for her cos she's arrested.  They find prints and some strands of Victoria's hair in Emily's car.

Louise wants to throttle someone and Margaux is writing a story that Victoria wanted her to write weeks ago but she refused.  Louise is so certain she killed Victoria, sorry luv, you're as wrong as Margaux's hairstyle and walk in her shoes.  She'll regret it.   Notice the way Emily was arrested at the beach house, it was the same way that David was taken, only he wasn't there to see it.  History repeating itself, but this time it wasn't David being framed, but Emily by Victoria!  I still have the feeling that dastardly Victoria isn't dead!!
