Revenge

Revenge.  Everyone has thought about getting revenge on someone at one time or another, but I bet that most have never gone to the lengths that Emily Thorne has gone to.  Emily, played by Emily VanCamp from Brothers & Sisters, is getting even with everyone who threw her dad to the wolves; "close friends" who turned him in for crimes that they committed.  He spent the rest of his life in jail.

Emily who grew up as Amanda Clarke had a great life, but it all ended when the FBI came and raided their beach house, took her into protective custody and arrested her father.  He had everyone and everything against him, no matter how innocent he was.  In the end, he ended up trusting the wrong people and ended up paying the ultimate price.

After Amanda turned 18 and was released, Nolan, a friend of her father's, met her and presented her with information about her life and her father.  Her father died and jail but was able to leave her with some money and a box that held some of their previous life and the double infinity symbol on the top of the box.  Then she started plotting.  Plotting her revenge towards the people who hurt her and her father.

She immerses herself pretty quickly with the the "summer in the Hampton's" crowd.  Able to rent out and eventually buy her beach house back.  Nolan discovers who she really is, considering he hadn't seen her in a long time and she changed her appearance, and tries to convince her to be a team.  I think he's just lonely and needs a friend and hopefully he doesn't end up ruining this for her.

Memories of her past has really opened a lot of wounds and I really hope she doesn't let her emotions over take her completely because she'll end up making a mistake.  Especially as "her majesty" tries to find out everything about Emily and pull the rug out from under her.  I love the different characters that are emerging and I really would like to see something between Emily and Jack pan out later.

The show is really good and very mysterious as she plots out what she does next.  I am glad at least one person from "Brothers & Sisters" have resurfaced on ABC. Emily VanCamp was good as a supporting actress on "Bros. & Sis" but I am glad she's the "star" of the Revenge.  She has this flair about her and I really think she's gonna make Emily Thorne pretty incredible, she's beautiful and mysterious and I can't wait to see what Emily does next.  She's taken out two people already, I wonder who's next on her list?

Revenge is on Wednesdays @ 10pm on ABC.  If you haven't watched the first two episodes, I believe they can be found on Hulu or the ABC site directly.  I recommend checking it out!
