Episode 15: Chaos

By: Carlos Uribe

Revenge is a show about a girl who goes to the Hamptons to have revenge on everyone there.

Spoilers Ahoy!

It seems like Victoria and Conrad have finally decided on the terms of their divorce. Conrad offers her the deed to Grayson Manor but is unwilling to give her stock options in Grayson Global. Victoria balks at the offer in the beginning of the episode, but by the time the engagement party starts she agrees to it. Conrad signs the paper and it seems like this storyline is over. That is except for the small suggestion that Victoria is planning to go to the SEC with something. What is up with the Securities Exchange Commission being used to build up drama in so many soaps these days? It's not known what she knows that can hurt the company but whatever it is, it's probably very good. I'm really excited to see where this is going.

Tyler makes his final return in this episode. He kidnaps Emily and is the one who stole Amanda's box. He uses both the box and Emily to get some money from Amanda. He also tells Emily part of the truth to turn her against Amanda. He leads her to believe that Amanda was playing Emily this whole time and Emily wasn't really looking after Amanda this whole time. Tyler gets the money but he keeps both the box and Emily. That is until Amanda learns about all the good things that Emily has done, such as framing Tyler for her killing Frank and that Emily actually pushed Jack to getting with her. She goes back to Team Amanda. It was all very nicely done and very twisty. Tyler will not take the money but he plans to kill Daniel at the engagement party and frame Emily.

There's also another character that returns. This is the Sensei. I don't really trust him, but he seems to be back on Team Emily. He does manage to get the box back for Emily but I'm not entirely sure how he did this. He even helps out the real Emily in her time of need. I'm not entirely sure how he plays into all of this. He either plans to help our protagonist or has turned against Amanda. He seems to suggest that he took care of Tyler and Emily. This might mean that he's the one who actually killed Tyler and that he's actually a good guy.

The engagement party that we've been waiting for happened tonight and it was glorious. The series points to two different likely killers. One of them is Emily, who in having regained her loyalty decides to kill Tyler before he can kill Daniel. There's also the chance it is Daniel. Tyler had started to reveal to Daniel part of the truth about David Clarke and Emily's intentions. It's unknown how much he knows but he does have a lot of blood on his shirt. The police might also think it's Jack, who tried to move the body to try and help Emily, since he thinks she did it, to get away with murder. There's the off-chance that it's the Sensei, but the series has yet to position him as a possible killer. Which is what makes me suspect him.

This episode was simply fantastic. I simply did not see that it was going to be Tyler who dies. The show has gone from me wondering what events led to the party's drastic murder to who was the killer. A lot of people have motives and I'm sure that there's some facts we don't know. What we do know is that Tyler is dead, the picture he was holding is gone, and there's two immediate suspects. Revenge has so far being great, that I have no doubt that this mystery will be well developed.
