Emily's life continues to be clouded by those who wronged her father in a fourth season full of Emily's life on the line as Victoria co-ordinates a family reunion with lethal potential, regardless of who is caught in a shootout. Unexpected where Victoria sinks her claws deep in David. With Victoria in control and David Clark in the headlines. Emily is working on a new strategy to organize the reunion with her father.
If you'd never seen Revenge before, Sunday's season premiere was a pretty good time to join the party - and not just because every character literally recapped (out loud) what they've been up to for the past three years.
That was a stellar and solid way to kick off what should be an interesting season, answering the question "Where does Emily Thorne go from here?" The answer? There is always revenge to be had, so Emily Thorne goes right back to business.
Whether or not Victoria's promise of revenge comes to pass, it's certainly a fun, soapy idea to have Emily and Victoria switch places completely in the narrative, with a lot of rich story possibilities.
Overall, I think I enjoyed this fresh new start to Season 4, and I think it's for one reason and one reason only: Emily wasn't scheming to destroy the Graysons.
