Conrad bursts in on Victoria. He begs her not to testify and tells her it is her moral obligation to her children not to fry him. Conrad tells Victoria that he did not order David Clarke’s death, that it was The Initiative. Victoria tells him she will not live with the lies any longer. Conrad tells her if she gets on the plane it will be the last thing she does. She tells him, in that case, she will see him in Hell and leaves.

Emily is sitting alone when Nolan calls to ask how it went with Jack. She tells him that Faux is back and pregnant. Nolan tells her to “stay right where you are and don’t do anything Revenge-y ‘til I get there” – Bwahahahah!

At the airport, Lydia is getting on the plane. Victoria is boarding with McGowan, she pauses at the bottom of the stairs and then continues. WHM is there posing as an airline tech. Conrad is burning a picture of Victoria and Lydia, tears in his eyes.

Jack is feeling up a pregnant Faumanda, and I am praying it is a Glee-style fakeroonie.

Charlotte is watching a tape of Declan when she sees a news report that a plane has exploded on its way to Washington – Vicki being one of the passengers. Charlotte tries to call Declan, but he ignores her call. When he finally answers, he hangs up without listening to her. Charlotte takes bunches of pills and Conrad finds her unconscious.

Nolan comes to see Emily and she tells him all of the evidence blew up with the plane. Nolan tells her he unencrypted and backed up the evidence – and presents her with a briefcase with it. Nolan tells her this is bigger than the David Clarke conspiracy. On the copied tape, Victoria mentions Emily’s mother and Emily asks Nolan if they killed her mother, too. Nolan tells Emily her mother is still alive.

DAMN, Y’ALL!!

Wow! I think they’ve set a new record for cliffhangers!! What do you think? Is Victoria really dead? Is Fauxmanda really pregnant/is it really Jack’s? Will Ashley snare Daniel? Will Declan run back to Charlotte’s side? What is Emily’s mother’s involvement???

After all of this (and recapping three shows back to back), I am taking the summer off from recapping – but not from commenting on other people’s great work. I’ll be back with something in the Fall (Dirty Soap was cancelled), and whenever Revenge and Million Dollar Listing New York pop up again. In the meantime, I sincerely thank all of you for your support, comments, and willingness to let me have a little fun with all of you!

I WILL MISS YOU BUNCHES!!

    Great fast reap S-Natch! I wonder if WHM will ever get a name. That was horribly shady for Charlotte to do that to MiniFAux, isn’t she only Declan’s partner for a school project? I’m sorry I wouldn’t have chloroformed myself under the instructions of the person who KILLED MY FATHER…blindfold would have workedI don’t think Vikki is dead we never saw her get on the plane. I’m hoping that either Faux is pretending to be pregnant or pregnant by someone else. Best line of the night was Nolan’s revengey comment. OMGWTFHDHGDUAGHS her mom is alive and let David have a years long relationship with VIkki? What is her part in the Initiative?

    Why does ‘The Initiative’ sound so familiar? The plot right now is seeming very deja vu-y, maybe another tv show or movie.

    I really don’t think Victoria is dead. With the way it was edited and shown, and the fact we didn’t see it take off and/or explode. I think Victoria stopped it from taking off and got off but then it still took off and boom. I do hope that Charlotte is gone. They both can’t die, only one.

    I really hope Faux is faking or it is not Jacks. That character really annoys me (so does the actress).

    I don’t think the show has jumped the shark yet. I do think it is balancing on a old rickety wooden board over the tank. Depending on where it goes in the first couple of episodes of the next season will determine if it jumps over or not.

    I like Declan more now that he dropped the accent, too. Looks like he temporarily grew a backbone, but he will be hobbled with guilt now over Charlotte. REALLY wish Fauxmanda was on the flight, though!!!

    I didn’t say it before, while I wish Charlotte and Faux were on the plane…we need Charlotte for whenever Emily comes clean. I agree Declan will feel guilty over Charlotte’s’ attempted suicide, He’s been so noble lately.

    I can’t imagine they would kill Victoria. She’s too important. And Charlotte being Emily’s half-sister should really keep her around, too.

    Carol- “The Initiative” was the gov’t org that Riley was a part of when Buffy the Vampire Slayer went to college. But the “OMG, my mom is alive?!” is pure ‘Alias.’

    awww junk!!!!!!!!!!!

    This was the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So excited for next season. I saw the plane thing coming when they were walking toward it. Still very cool and fitting. Even though they were trying to do the right thing, karma none the less.

    WHM said to Emily when they were fighting “You are a fighter like your mother.” I picked up on that when he said it. I knew that meant something like he knew her mother and maybe he killed her mother or something like that.

    I like Charlotte and Declan and want them both to stick around and get back together. Also want Emanda and Charlotte to have their eventual reunion.

    Oh good points about the plane and Victoria maybe not being on it. I think Conrad knew that the plane was going to be blown up. Just the way he was acting toward Lydia when he realized what she was going to do…..

    I was not happy that she let WHM live. Sorry but when you seek revenge there is no place for regrets or compassion. I would have killed him. He knows who she is!!!!!!!!!!! You can’t let him live at that point. He will reveal her.

    That was awesome!! The recap and the episode! @ Moli – that’s what I first thought of too, the Darma Initiative from Lost. I was soo mad when I saw Fauxmanda standing there pregnant. There was so much going on and so many questions that were not answered. I can’t wait till next season. Why are all my shows using the same premise? Grimm (mom’s still alive), now Emily’s mom is still alive. The best part was when she broke up with Daniel. I can’t stand him.

    Thank goodness I’m not the only one who can’t stand that waste of space Daniel. HE is the one that should have been on the plane…my dislike for him is up there with David from OUaT.

    Totally agree about Daniel – the one time I have been on Vicki’s side all season is when she slapped his self-righteous face!! I felt like there were a lot of “nods” to other shows/movies in this show – especially this episode. The Princess Bride, Goldeneye, another James Bond that escapes me at the moment, and the ones you all have mentioned. Don’t know if writers are clever or lazy. Made me want to tune in next season, though, so it worked!

    It’s like Daniel has absolutely NO personality. He’s just a waste of space to me, and I’m glad others agree. I was sooo happy when Emily gave him back the ring (And what was up with Victoria and the empty gift box, lol?) . I was so hoping that Jack and Emily would be together, and if that freaking Fauxmanda hadn’t shown up – that’s exactly what would have happened. One last comment, I love Nolan’s character! He comes up with the best lines!!

    I also love me some Nolan! And Jack! and Declan!!

    I liked Daniel at first. At first he seemed sweet and like a good person. Then this whole shift to being Conrad 2.0 is pissing me off. I would have broke up with him too. So want Amanda and Jack to be together!!!!!!!!! They are probably going to drag it out a long time before they get back together though. I kinda hate when shows do that like on Castle. Boo. Just screw already! Life is too short!

    At first, I was completely on the side of “Victoria’s really dead and if they do a fake-out it will be such a let down” because it was SUCH a bold move for the show. Now that I think on it, Conrad said to her “If you get on that plane that’s the last thing you’ll do”, there’s just NO way Vic doesn’t read into that! I mean, yes, the fake death is such a cliche, but I feel that’s okay with this show. This show manages not to take itself too seriously while also delivering a KILLER season finale!

    I may need to watch again, but I never got the feeling that revealing that Amanda’s mom being alive meant that she was STILL alive. I hope so, because that gives the show the opportunity to cast an awesome new character for us to love/hate.

    If the show was intending to make us hate Daniel, bravo. I never liked him all that much and now I hope he’s crushed in whatever fallout we see in the next season.

    I liked Daniel in the beginning, he seemed like the Anti-Grayson….but he’s changed and I also loved when Victoria slapped his slimy face. I hate Ashley so if those two end up together, they deserve each other. I don’t know WHY Emily didn’t tell Jack she’s the real Amanda DESPITE the fact that the bitch we all hate was standing there prego – they BOTH lied to him! I think he’d rather be with the real Amanda than some piece of white trash who doesn’t deserve him. Guess that would be too easy and they need to keep us watching. That being said, Victoria is very much alive – She and Nolan are the BEST characters on the show!!!

    I think the show would suffer overall with Victoria. Madeline Stowe is amazing.

    I don’t think the baby is Jack’s. Think about it……She looked pretty pregnant there. Like maybe what? 6 months at least? It was Winter and the show started on Memorial Day. But fakemanda did not show up till after that like in June or July. So…….I mean it could happen but I think she might have been preggo before from her stripper days. I could be totally off though.

    That or the whole damn thing is fake and she is not even pregnant.

    Fauxmanda DID spend a lot of time under Takeda’s watch – maybe she’ll give birth to a little Asian bay-bay!!

    Oh, S-Natch, I’m not even through page 1 and I have to comment. My husband’s been away on buisness for the past few months and this was the first episode he’d watched. He broke out the “My name is Amanda Clarke. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” before he even knew the backstory! Thanks for the screencap of Westley. Be still my heart. My black lab’s named after him. Fav. Movie. Everrrrrrrr! okay back to the recap!

    Okay, all done reading. First off, I LOVE Nolan so much. Second, I wonder if WHM (Bill Buchanan) knows where Ems mom is and has some reason to keep EManda’s secret. Third, Daniel…Ugh, I always wanted to believe that he was just naive, but damn, he turns out to have not fallen far from the tree. Four, UGH I was SO looking forward to Ems spilling the beans to Jack. Damn Fauxmanda and her fauxJack baby.

    I think that’s it. Cant wait for the next season to see how the story progresses. I know I’m in the minority but I hate Victoria andwant to see her go down. Her “love” for David, to me, is bs. She went along with him being framed as a terrorist, but is pissed that he was murdered?? Just doesnt jibe with me.

    I’m thinking (and hoping) Fauxmanda’s baby daddy is Tyler. They spent quite a lot of time alone in that barn, before he was killed. Handcuffs & a $5,000.000.00 check, sure could get my juices flowing……I mean her…HER juices flowing.
