It’s a week of call-backs as Revenge goes on trial. The latest episode joins the Grayson trial in medias res (at Day 15), but by the end of the hour is it ultimately proven pointless. The real ‘Justice’ is being doled out by two powerful women – Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) and Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) – well outside of the law.

Hey folks, remember six weeks ago when we were watching this great nighttime soap loosely based on The Count of Monte Cristo that starred that chick from Everwood and Brothers & Sisters? Obviously you do or else why would you be here? But you’d be forgiven if you had forgotten, since it’s been forevah since the last episode of the most addictive new TV show this season!

I will fully admit that there are days when I’m not overly interested in recapping a particular show, but – like any job – you suck it up and write it up. This has never been an issue with Revenge, the buzzy nighttime soap that has been the talk of every watercooler moment my boss and I have had since Lydia (Amber Valletta) took a plunge off the roof in episode 5 ‘Guilt.’ Now we’ve reached the engagement party from the pilot and it’s time to pull back the curtain to reveal the identity of the murder victim.

It’s rainy proposal Wednesday: everyone’s favourite happy couple whose entire relationship is based on a lie has gotten engaged! In the rain, no less. Naturally, because this is Revenge, that is about the least interesting thing that happens in ‘Commitment.’

And that’s it folks! The fall finale of our beloved Revenge is one for the books. I’ve been waiting two weeks for Emily (Emily VanCamp) to utter the lines “You fell in love with a hooker” and it was well worth the wait! It’s like the holiday gift I never knew I wanted.

The gloves came off in this week’s Revenge as two principal antagonists solidified their status as threats to Emily’s (Emily VanCamp) scheme of REVENGE. At this point it seems to me that Tyler (Ashton Holmes) is a bigger villain than Faux-manda (Margarita Levieva). At least with Faux-manda Emily knows what she’s dealing with, even if it is a childish tease prone to wearing bikinis and short-shorts. But Tyler – who knows what he’ll do?
