Victoria luring Helen Crowley to the pool house and then disposing of her was awesome. Now if only Victoria could do that with every other annoying/useless/problematic character on the show (AKA Padma), we'd be golden.

On another note, I'm really hoping Fauxmanda isn't killed off. Everyone pretty much hated her when she first appeared last season causing trouble, but now she's become the grounded moral center of the show. The best person to die for story reasons would be Jack.

Woah, Victoria did in one episode what Emily has been trying to do all show along.

Victoria should teach her how it's done.

Jack wont die though. Its all pointing towards Amanda sadly (they nearly offed her earlier in the season offcourse).

The body floating in the boat in the first episode looked like a guy's body though (doubt its the villian seeing that would be a repeat of Season 1)

Love what Amanda did to Crowley. Great episode!

Well. I kind of saw Fauxmanda dying coming but it was still pretty sad. Poor Emily.

I do like how Fauxmanda's death really brings the original purpose of this show back into full force: Emily's vendetta against the Graysons.

Agree, it does bring it all back full circle.

Watch out for Emily'a mother to come back too.

Another great episode and sad to see Amanda gone - even though it was always on the cards.

Love this show!

Fauxmanda dying was sad and the episode was good too.

I am LOVING Victoria even more after these few episodes.

Finally got around to watching the last episode (I've been putting it off since I haven't liked this season very much) and WOW, that was awesome! Probably the first GREAT episode of the season and up there with the best of season 1. It was incredibly intense and the ending was very emotional and sad. It actually got me interested enough in the proceedings to make me want to watch live tonight, which I haven't done in forever due to something better being on.

Solid episode tonight. It looks like now that Emily is back to getting revenge on the Graysons after Amanda's death stuff might actually happen this season! Finally!

DEAR GOD WHAT AN AWESOME EPISODE.

Interesting to note that this episode was directed by Helen Hunt.

I noticed that, how random. But it was a really good episode. Fauxmanda's death seems to have adequately refocused the series away from the murky Initiative plots.

Yes I love the back to basics. While Ive enjoyed this season immensely - the Initiative plot started to get tiresome. I do like how its been developing after Crowley's "removal" however.

Soooooooo, yet another antagonist?...

Loved the episode thought.

Yeah, an enjoyable episode last night. The last few episodes have really felt like season 1 which is great. Lots of delicious soapy intrigue and relatively little Initiative murkiness.

falcon!

I watched the first 5 episodes of the first season and thought it was OK. I have the second disc from Netflix but am debating whether I should just send it back or watch it. From what I hear Season 2 isn't very good. Not sure it's worth my time.

It's exactly in episode 6 where it gets to the epic soapy style so KEEP WATCHING.

Episode 6 - the end of season 1 is great television.

Season 2 was boring at the start but has picked up a lot in the past few episodes.

I LOVED the press conference scene, Revenge at its best.

Plus the return of the red sharpie is always welcome.

Last night's episode may have been the soapiest thing this show has ever produced and I loved it. Illegitimate children! Masquerade balls! Flashbacks with nuns! Fainting! Slapping! Emily and Victoria being icy and bitchy perfection towards each other! Dead Padma!

I'll miss Padma.

Was kinda hoping Ems was actually preggo. Oh well.

I was disappointed last week with the Kenny/Jack exchange last week. Should've been a lot more heated given, IDK, the two deaths?

omg, those last few minutes were perfect. This show is definitely back on track.

Also the Victria chases her son scene is like my favorite scene of the show.

I wasnt watching this episode with full attention so can anyone please answer the following for me...

Emily knows of Victoria's son - but the guy at the Masquerade Ball wasnt really him right? And what was Emily seeing the Nun for - more info on the son?

This show could seriously benefit from cutting its cast, like, in half. Declan, Charlotte, Ashley, etc. The list of useless characters is kind of becoming too much.
