Revenge Season 1 Episode 6
Maybell Hughs
Revenge is an American psychological thriller television series that premiered on ABC on September 21, 2011. The series was created by Mike Kelley and is inspired by the Alexandre Dumas novel The Count of Monte Cristo.[1] The series stars Madeleine Stowe and Emily VanCamp.
On April 29, 2015, ABC announced the cancellation of the series after four seasons.[2][3] The final episode aired on May 10, 2015. During the course of the series, 89 episodes of Revenge aired.
Overall, this season finale was great. It was emotional and full of action. It will definitely be hard to wait for the premiere of season 3. I hope ABC has a better way to air the episodes this year. All the breaks between episodes did a great bit of damage to this season. However, ratings are still better than other shows. I look forward to the character development in the next season.

"Revenge" is the twenty-second and final episode of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series' fourth season. This is the conclusion to a four-part storyline about the fate of Asajj Ventress, the Nightsisters, and two of the Nightbrothers, which began with the last three episodes: "Massacre," "Bounty," and "Brothers." It first aired on March 14 in France on W9, before its official premiere on Cartoon Network on March 16, 2012. This episode is chronologically followed by Season Five's second episode, "A War on Two Fronts."
Reunited, Maul and Savage Opress travel back to Dathomir, where the brothers are led by Mother Talzin to her village, where she removes Maul's spider-like cybernetics and uses magicks to create new cybernetic legs, as well as restore Maul's sanity. Once back to full health and reborn, Maul reminisces about surviving his dark path of being discarded, forgotten, and lost, with only his hatred keeping his spirit intact. As Maul felt the Force was out of balance, he learns from Savage that there is an ongoing conflict: the Clone Wars. Realizing the Clone Wars began without him, Maul felt that he was robbed of his destiny of being more than an Sith apprentice to the "most powerful being in the galaxy." Although Savage believes Maul can begin again, the two brothers agree to wreak Maul's revenge on the Jedi who reduced him to his state: Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Obi-Wan travels to the Raydonian village and is quickly taken down by Maul and Opress, who take him aboard their hijacked freighter to be tortured to death. However, just before they take off, Ventress has landed on the planet, found their ship and hitched a ride. Appearing before the two brothers, she taunts them saying Savage is still an animal, making them abandon an unconscious Obi-Wan to search for her. Ventress returns to Obi-Wan, wakes him up and lends him one of her lightsabers for his defense when Maul and Opress return. The two team up in order to fight the brothers, but find themselves outmatched and just barely escape by jettisoning the ship's cockpit, leaving Maul and Opress adrift. Despite this setback, Maul is satisfied that the Jedi will yet come after him once more and that he will get his revenge after all.
"Revenge" was the second episode in the series to feature a red opening logo, rather than the standard yellow one. The previous episode also featured this logo, for the first time, due to the return of Darth Maul.
According to a behind the scenes feature at StarWars.com, the turtle tanker is not actually stranded in space, as there is a second control pod in the tanker. Maul is seen in it at the end of the episode.
I really hate the direction they are taking the character of Daniel and honestly, thank goodness Kara is gone. A lot this season is just not reaching the level of any episode of last season, where there were twists and shocking moments in each episode.
The big moment finally arrived and only lasted for about two minutes. I've been waiting all season for Emily Thorne and David Clarke to reunite on Revenge, and during Sunday night's new episode, "Ambush," it finally happened. It was all emotional, music swelling, tears flowing, and perfect by Revenge standards, even if it didn't last as long and three seasons' worth of believing David was dead deserved. Yes, people, after all of this time, Emily and David reunited on Revenge Season 4 and it was promptly ruined by Victoria Grayson. Because, of course.
After Emily broke into David's safe deposit box with the help of Nolan, she found that David had been lingering around the Hamptons, following the wrong Amanda all of these years. And, naturally, that made her go totally nuts because, again, she spent her entire life, lost the love of her life (RIP Aiden), and risked her sanity to avenge David's memory. The least that guy could do would be to realize what he real daughter looked like. I mean, c'mon. So Emily stormed into David's new house, brandishing the photos of the fake Amanda, and screaming questions at him about why he didn't come looking for her and how he didn't notice who she was. It was actually really sad, even if it seemed like Revenge drew out their reunion for as long as possible.
Maybe a happy reunion isn't in the cards for David and Emily after all and that's why he never came looking for her? The only thing that's abundantly clear right now is that David is not going to get rid of Victoria and Emily's just going to have to deal with that if she wants to be with her father.
Inspired by the classic tale of The Count of Monte Cristo, Revenge follows the story of Amanda Clarke (Emily VanCamp), a woman seeking revenge against those who framed her late father for a terrorist attack. Now 20 years later, living under a false identity, the new Emily Thorne moves back into her affluent home in the Hamptons, with her sights set on her main targets: Conrad (Henry Czerny) and Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe). Weaving her way into the family's lives, mostly through their eldest son, Daniel (Josh Bowman), Emily goes down her list of names to ruin the lives of those who aided in her father's demise. Thankfully, along the way, she gains new allies like the tech-savvy Nolan Ross (Gabriel Mann), who ensures her journey is not a lonely one.
Uncovering dirty secrets and walking through dark paths, this show gripped audiences for four seasons with its thrilling drama and action. Sure, at times its writing went a bit wacky and melodramatic, but the compelling characterizations ultimately kept people going. Apparently, people like a good ol' vendetta story. It also helps when it's led by stellar performances that range from the likes of VanCamp, Stowe and Czerny. Now, with the show ending almost 10 years ago, it seems like a good time to reflect on some of its best episodes, at least according to IMDB.
With her enemies pushing her into a corner, Emily has no choice but to make some bold decisions. Assuming the false identity of a Homeland Security Agent, she abducts Pascal LeMarchal (Olivier Martinez) and forces his hand. In return, he agrees to secure a confession out of Conrad, in exchange for Victoria's protection, who's now his new financ. Unbeknownst to them both, a plan looms in the background that threatens their future moves.
Victoria is in no way a character that garners any sort of sympathy given the horrible things she's done, but frankly, the brutal death of Pascal is one thing we can feel sorry for. Despite their ups and downs, it did seem like their love for one another was pure. But alas, once again, the paranoia and backstabbing prevailed, with Conrad somehow finding a way to always come out on top. Indeed, this episode shines with every unexpected twist and turn, ultimately setting up Emily to frantically pick up the pieces to get her revenge once and for all.
Desperate to avoid detection from the Initiative, the Graysons scramble to fix the mess of Victoria's impulsive actions, especially with their annual Labor Day party approaching. In the meantime, Emily and Nolan rush out to save Jack (Nick Wechsler) and Amanda (Margarita Levieva) on their honeymoon after discovering the presence of a dangerous stowaway. Unfortunately for them, this leads to a tragic ending with a significant loss.
Where the Initiative subplot gives drama and thrills, it's easily overshadowed by the conflict seen on The Amanda as it results in the first big death of the show. Throughout the series, fans see the complicated evolution of Emily and Amanda's sisterhood. Where rocky at times, and not always perceptible, there's no denying their deep connection, especially since they are forced to confront this by the end of the episode. The shocking death of Amanda is easily the turning point of the season as it reminds Emily - and the fans - of the dire stakes at hand. Incredibly emotional and heartbreaking, "Sacrifice" is an episode that stands out among the rest.
Following her arrest for the alleged murder of Victoria, Emily - now publicly known as Amanda - enlists the help of Nolan and Jack to help to prove her innocence by tracking down the slimy Mason Treadwell (Roger Bart). However, this becomes a much more difficult task after being thrown back in jail. As such, she turns to Ben (Brian Hallisay) for help, who eventually finds merit in her theories. Sadly, like most things in Revenge, this doesn't end all too well.
Seeing Amanda in this frantic state of mind isn't something audiences are used to. As the woman who always seems to be three steps ahead, it's almost exciting to see how she reacts when the cards are completely taken out of her hands. From manipulating the prison system to violently coaxing out information - it's almost as if she's reverted to her juvi days as she showcases her intelligence and conniving ways. Being the penultimate episode of the entire series, huge plot twists aren't too surprising. It's like everyone knew Victoria was still alive. It's just unfortunate that Ben became another innocent victim, caught in the crossfire of Amanda Clarke's vendetta.
