Revenge Recap – Resurrection

Last week’s premiere was about mobilizing the troops.  This week was about setting them up for battle.  Some positioned themselves well (i.e. Victoria), while some might as well have painted a bullseye on their foreheads (i.e. Declan).  Oh – and the rich are getting richer, while the poor are getting poorer.  Wonder if the Hamptons is voting Republican this year?

“Resurrection” begins in a flashback with Mom and little Amanda on the road listening to INXS’s “Never Tear Us Apart”, which I guess now qualifies as a golden oldie (which I guess qualifies me as a golden oldie).  Mom reassures Amanda she isn’t going anywhere – “and they can never tear us apart” bum, bum, bum, bum…

Emily wakes up to find herself in her house with her perma-houseguest Nolan.  On the couch, fully clothed.  BOR-ing!  They passed out while spying on Victoria in her shack in Shacktown USA.  Emily assures Nolan she will rescue sister Charlotte from the evil clutches of Dr. Doom’s Sober House, keeping her from Victoria in the process.  The battle for Charlotte begins!  


Sorry, Nols, GTFO

Unfortunately for sad sack Charlotte, Conrad has declared her mentally unfit to screw her out of her $600 million inheritance.  That’s right $600 mill and some change.  Yeah, Romney would look pretty good to me too.  


“Who are these children you keep referring to?”

Daniel is making his “math is hard!” face as he goes over company papers.  Something is wrong!  The numbers  just don’t add up!  Could Pops be up to something fishy???  While wondering if it’s too early for a drink, Ashley enters in her skimpy tennis outfit to lure him away from his work.  She’s a mole with costume changes!   Sober Daniel blows her off (as opposed to the other way around).  


“Didn’t we decide on the nurse outfit today?”

Emily calls Daniel to report the shady dealings of Dr. Scumbag, slowly drawing him back into her web.  She tells him the doctor has a history of keeping wealthy patients longer than needed to bleed them for cash.  He immediately finds Dr. Doom on the internet.  Good job, bro!

Meanwhile Secret Agent Peeta observes Emily from a sand dune.  The watcher is being watched!  

At the Sober House/Prison, Dr. Doom is grilling Charlotte for info on who might have given her the cell phone they found.  Charlotte maintains her innocence, while counting the moments until she can grab a drink.  Kidding!

Declan is at the docks when a classmate named Trey Chandler (barf) approaches him.  The rich kid asks the poor kid to hold onto a stolen bracelet and he’ll give him $500.  Declan is cool with that, just as long as it’s not drug related.  Yeah, Declan – stolen property is a real step up.  Nothing bad can happen to the poor kid!  Keep making good decisions, kiddo!


 ”Huh?  Jewelry?  What?”

    the killing of the white-haired man was kind-of abrupt, no? i guess the writers were a bit lazy coming up with how to dispose of him (not that i’d be any less lazy — hell, i’d be LAZIER. and that’s why i don’t write a show).

    padma is rebecca from greek! that’s the only role i really know her from, so it was weird to see her as such a different character.

    Also, who the hell is Peeta? Is that the same kung fu apprentice kid that was at the beach?

    I didn’t understand why it was necessary for Victoria to be such a bitch to Charlotte about the inheritance. How did that “protect” her? Couldn’t she have simply told her she wasn’t safe there?

    Had to laugh when Victoria said Conrad didn’t tell her why she shouldn’t get on the plane. Was “it’ll be the last thing you do” not clear enough for you, Vicki?

    And yes @ellemenop, I LOVED Greek so I’m excited about her character.

    @andrea, yay, another greek fan (i still wish they’d do a “then and now”)!

    i think the reason victoria was such a bitch was to “ensure” that charlotte would really go away and not try to pursue the situation, like, “c’mon, mom, we can get out of here! let’s go!” rather than storm away hoping to never see or hear from her again.

    I loved Greek too! She was also in 30 Minutes or Less w/ Aziz Ansari and Jesse Einsenburg.

    I agree w/ Elle. I think Vicki was a bitch to Charlotte to ensure she would leave the situation alone.

    And I’m yet another Greek fan. Miss that show and I agree with Ellemenop that a Greek reunion “then and now” show would be great.
