Revenge- Chaos

"Just promise me no secrets of any kind ever. You've seen what they've done to my family."

Finally a revelation we have been long anticipating. Tonights episode brought us back to the scene that enticed so many fans to indulge in Revenge. Thankfully Daniel survives through Tyler's manic episode and Emily Thorne has not gone to such extremes as killing her fiance for vengeance, just yet.  The question of whether Daniel will blamed for Tyler's death remains untouched, but my guess is that Emily will do everything in her will power for her fiance to be punished. This will be the perfect way for her to ruin the Grayson global name, while staying by her "fiances" side and ruining Victorias life. Win-win situation right? While Amanda is to blame for Tyler's death, she was really doing it in self defense. Jack wanted to cover for her but ultimately they both got away, leaving Daniel as the sole culprit. Although it would make a lot more sense in my mind if Daniel wasn't arrested for Tyler's death because it is clear that Tyler has a little loopy and a danger to society. Whatever the outcome may be this episode was a jumble full of chaos, which seems a fitting title for the episode itself.

Who would have thought that after everything Amanda would turn her back on Emily? You never make a deal with the devil and Tyler is the devil in this case. He's a psycho lunatic that cannot be constrained and knows more than is good for him. Amanda put her own safety at risk when she went into an agreement with Tyler. It was hard to back out after she realized Tyler's plans were actually to kill Daniel and frame Emily for it all because she killed the security guard. That key point had to have played a huge factor in Amanda changing her mind because if cops started investigating further they would realize that it was actually her that killed Frank. Although she dragged a little with getting to the party she did make it in time to stop Tyler's destructive plan. Truthfully, this girl owes Emily her life at this point. Emily is always cleaning up everyones mess. 

As Emily is usually the one calling all the shots, no pun intended, she was rather distant and missing from the scheming this weekend, which made this episode so brilliant. This weeks episode showed a girl that was stripped and bare and pretty vulnerable to anything surrounding her, especially since many of her accomplices turned her back on her. As much as Nolan wants the best for Amanda, I am left wondering what him and the Asian investor at Grayson Global had to do with the plot line. I know he is suppose to help Emily in any way possible so did Emily know that Daniel was going to get shot? What was in the box that she was burying? Why was the investor ready to help Amanda make an escape? 

Anyways, after a long anticipation we finally know that Daniel is not the one that dies in the pre-wedding celebrations but what's next? Does the happy couple continue with their wedding preparations, assuming that Daniel isn't arrested? Will Victoria become more loving towards Emily or will this tear the whole family apart? All the points that were brought up this week by the grandfather, for example Daniel taking over Grayson Global, a peaceful family settlement and Charlotte avoiding any type of therapy in order to keep the family name noble will have gone to hell because of this incident. Will they loose all their money? In all of this I know Emily was waiting to see the Grayson family self combust, but has she no care or interest in anything to do with the family. Can she really just wash her hands and walk away from everything? Will it be revealed that it was really Amanda who saved Daniel from a monster? One things for certain Jack isn't going anywhere and he, as well as Declan, are now more invested in the family than ever before.

Ringer- Its Easy To Cry When This Much Cash Is Involved

"I need answers. I'll pay you double to help me get them. No questions asked."

Things are starting to get way to confusing up in Manhattan, mainly because half the time I cant tell whose Siobhan and whose Bridget. Bridget's plans are very upfront. She has figured out that her sister lied to her, she realized that she was friends with Charlie instead of enemies and now she wants to know who the hell is after her and who wants to kill her, besides for Macawi of course (seems like she forgot about him a little). Meanwhile Siobhan is trying to find a way to remove herself from the marriage and still get a whole lot of cash while her and Henry are together forever. She's doing all of this by manipulating Tyler into thinking she loves him and he is the father of her baby. Girl might be a little crazy but she gets what she needs done. My only question is why? She couldn't file for divorce from Andrew because given their marital agreement she would walk away without a penny. Understandable. But when she goes to tell Henry the truth, why the hell won't she tell the truth. What is the good in throwing your sister under the bus like that? She has covered for you, while covering her ass and than you want to expose her? Whats the logic behind it? Clearly she still hasn't gotten over the fact that Bridget killed her son, but there must be more to the story than just that. I wish we could see things from inside Siobhan's brain. 

Besides for Bridget trying to figure out what the hell is going on and Siobhan trying to clean up her mess while making a bigger one we have Juliet. Oh boy did I not see that one coming. After all of the tears, the trials and the pain she put everyone through it comes out to become a ploy to get her trust fund back? And her arch enemy and her teacher, the accused, is in on it!?!??! That is a whole other level of messed up. At what moment did he realize he would turn her throwing herself at him into a money deal? But I don't think it will take long for things to head south with this. There is so much money at stake, either Carpenter wont deliver or there will be too much greed and everything will get exposed. I mean without a signed contract of the fairness of the money, it was technically paid over to him, so he can easily out Juliet and her friend and not blink once about it. The reason bad things happen to her isn't because her parents divorced or because she had a mean step-mother, its because she's stupid and irrational. I had pity for her although I was against the whole rape story line, but now I am just disgusted. I vote shipping her off to boarding school somewhere far away.

I wonder what damages Henry just did by signing over Gemmas father to Andrews company? One thing one has to learn about Siobhan is to never do anything without her consent. She would have taken care of Olivia in a heartbeat. Now Shiv's plan might not work. Will her love for Henry diminish? With two sisters in one city, their going to run into each other sooner than later (and by the looks of the previews it is definitely sooner). I wonder what it will be like to run into a dead sister and than into an impostor of the other sister. Till next week!

Pretty Little Liars- CTRL: A

"When I Hide Things They Stay Hid"

Its safe to say that this weeks Pretty Little Liars moved the story line a bit. Unlike many previous episodes real secrets were actually revealed and we are that much closer to locking down A! For starters if the fact that Spencer and Jason are related isn't news enough, we now find out that Alison might have been blackmailing Spencer's dad! Alright we know thats not the person she was blackmailing but for a young girl to have that much money stashed away in a box of love notes and personal exchanges between her mom and Spencer's dad is enough to make you wonder, who the hell she got it from and why the hell did she need it so much? The bond that has formed between these two step siblings is tightening quickly and if their to find anything out a lot of trust is going to have to be built, fast!

One thing the liars have stopped fearing is how to play the game. I mean if A had scared them off all they would be able to do is watch while their lives fell apart. Instead they take every clue they get and try to turn it into something meaningful. By far their boldest (and smartest) move this season was meeting Vivian's friend in person. That allowed them to find out that whoever A is was haunting Ali before she died. She hired this man to find out who was after her and when he finally cracked the mystery Vivian disappeared before paying him and mr. detective got fired. But who is Vivian? Why did none of the girls know about her? Did she die along with Alison? Was it Alison's twin? The twist here is that this guy doesn't know Alison is dead, so with enough money we too can know who A is, the question is do we want to? This might be the sole reason why Alison was killed. Once the liars find out who the person behind the text messages is, it could mean hell for them and maybe even their loved ones.

The loved ones seem to suffer just as much as the liars these days. Spencer did away with Toby to help protect him from anything A could do to hurt him but she didn't care enough to protect Caleb who happened to be on A's hit list this week. But was he on A's list or on Garrett's? Garrett could have easily tipped off the detective to try to get his hands on that lap top. He could have been watching Caleb try to piece the puzzle together. Despite what we are led to believe Garrett is either helping A or has an agenda of his own, but you can see the stress building up inside of him. Even when the detective mentioned that their is some new evidence in the Alison murder mystery and that page 5 was missing (and we all know Garrett took it) he started freaking out. So did Garrett kill Ali? Is the video in any way connected to the texts? Are they all A? Whatever the connection is, we know that the enforcement in Rosewood is not on top of their game. I mean the liars broke into a hospital like 19 episodes ago. Way to catch on... Anyhow the love between Caleb and Hannah has probably beaten out the love Aria and Ezra have just because it is so real and true. When her and Spencer were trying to clear the hard drive it was one of the most nerve wrecking moments ever, but love really does conquer all. 

Why Aria's father is so paranoid that his daughter is still sneaking off doing horrible things might be linked to the fact that he was once in the same situation with a minor in his school and he knows how it feels. I am still appalled by the idea that he could have had a love affair and been let off the hook so easily while Ezra and Aria are clearly in love and cannot be toghether. Of all the girls Aria is the one with a head on her shoulders. Thankfully she skipped out on her vegan dinner with teacher love this week to watch her friend Holden engage in some rather dangerous activities. Anybody else think that this might cause him to get seriously hurt and their cover will be blown? Just because A failed this week, doesn't mean he wont try again.

Gossip Girl- Crazy, Cupid Love

Happy Valentines Day!

A Valentines Day like this is really nothing worth celebrating. Gossip Girl took it back to the high schools days this week and gosh have I missed that school girl attire. Besides for Queen B, everyone seemed to be in uniform this week and there was no shortage of drama. I thought that we had left the Humphrey-Waldorf love story behind, but unfortunately it has resurfaced. Not only has this cause tension between Blair and Serena but it has also led Chuck to turn back to his old ways, namely bringing every woman back to his bed. Why on earth did Blair kiss Dan? Why would she have feelings for him all of a sudden? What does this mean for her relationship with Chuck? This was probably the only situation that would not have presented itself at any, and I mean any, high school event. The writers have totally taken the storyline of Blair and Chuck and strayed with it. I understand you cannot keep them playing the cat and mouse game, but there are no Dair worshippers... Anywhere. If Blair cannot be with Chuck, than she sure as hell should not be making out with Dan. The writers are just making her look sleazy at this point. 

So Ivy returned to inform Lily that her mother is sick and doesn't have much time left. The only question than is why is the fake Charlie with grandma Rhodes? Ivy probably shouldn't have stuck around the party for so long because it only took one second for Nate to out her to the real Charlie, and by the look of things she was not going to let this go easily. Here is someone she once knew that had taken on her life, lived with her family and basically impersonated her. Seems to me that the real Charlie was left in the dark about a lot of things since she had no idea of who her family even was. A combination of efforts from Georgina and the real Charlie will crush fake Charlie in a split second, especially if she plans on making casual comebacks to the Upper East Side. 

Thing aren't looking so bright for Queen B, who truthfully cannot trust anyone except maybe Humphrey at this point. Her best friend has every right to try and screw up her life. Now that Georgina is Gossip Girl she is literally everywhere. Chuck is now pissed off that  Humphrey's got to his girl. And lastly, her new babysitter is in love with her husband. It won't be long until she figures out how to play the Upper East Side game and sets off a plan to crush Blair and get the man of her dreams. The unraveling of this storyline will be quite tasty considering the previews for next week show a lot of Blair and Dan face time. Poor Serena. Anyone see the door opening for a Chuck and Serena romance. That would literally be the end of the world, but hey you never know. Overall, this episode was just proof that Valentines Day isn't all its hyped up to be.

• GG: Another picture perfect day on the Upper East Side. How am I going to celebrate? By exposing a giant secret today thats sure to break more than a few hearts.
• Dorota: Oh miss Blair your back I was so worried you'd be locked away in big stone tower somewhere and only way to speak was through smoke signals and coded message on twitter.
• Georgina: What the hell am I paying you people for?
• Blair: Step one is accomplished. The thaw has begun.
• Dorota: Like beautiful polish spring.
• Dan: Blairs trying to set me up with Serena which reminds me I didn't even like high school so I'm not going to relive it.
• Serena: you know they say people keep fighting about the same thing until it breaks them apart. Well maybe were there.
• Georigna: If Blair hates you for being poor before imagine how much she'd hate you for making her poor too.
• Georgina: Which means the more they cant the more they'll want to.
• GG: But isn't that what Valentines Day is all about? Hopes dashed, feelings hurt, relationships severed. Its a day filled with crushing disappointments where its easy take advantage of the vulnerable and the lonely. While some like to pine over those unrequited loves others cant help but feel like they somehow got totally screwed. And while it'd be nice to believe that most valentine days end well we all know they are far more likely to end in heartbreak. XoXo Gossip Girl. 

The Vampire Diaries- Dangerous Liaisons

"I fancy you. Your beautiful. Your strong. Your full of light. I enjoy you."

First off let me apologize for my lack of reviews this week. It was my 21st birthday so I let myself slack off a bit and I haven't gotten around to watching anything except GG and TVD. But gosh I will never miss a Vampire Diaries post! The writers of this show need a huge applause for making villains look like friends, making us fans side with villains, and letting us openly accept that Elena is in love with two beautiful men. For someone that has been on Team Damon for so long now, I am internally conflicted. The chemistry that connects both couples is so strong that when Stelena has the spotlight im rooting for them, when Delena has the spotlight im cheering them on and when both men are at Elena's side, I cant help but drool and be super jealous of that broad. 

Lets kind of gather our thoughts here and recap what the hell happened this week. Revelation number 1, Klaus is adorable. God who would have ever expected that one. With every other show there is always a girl with many guys but one soulmate. On the Vampire Diaries theres one girl, with multiple soul mates, namely Elena and Caroline. See I'm so team Tyler but how can any girl resist that English bad boy gone good charm. I mean literally here is sweet little Caroline waltzing with an immortal, whose gushing and raving about how beautiful she is and wooing her with little trinkets. The writers incorporated something unbelievable and made it a possibility.  I betchu thats going to catch Tyler off guard when he comes back from physically training himself to disobey his "master" for the girl he's in love with, only to find out that his master and that girl and rendezvousing. 

Theres a little bit of disappointment and lack of consistency in the fact that Doctor Fell was not featured nor were the murders really adressed. I understand that all of Mystic Falls was attending a killer party, but who the hell is killing people? Could it really possibly be Jeremy? Also, why was Bonnie not invited to the party. I think she deserves some credit for releasing the original witch. Without Bonnie's help she would have never gotten out of that coffin and than she would have never been able to enact her master plan, which by the way took me for a curve ball. It was fairly obvious that only someone completely retarded would forgive their immortal son after he's killed you. But when the plan came together that Ester wanted to kill all of her children instead of one that was pure genius. See the story line would be blatantly boring if Ester would just be able to kill her son because she was the original witch, but by binding all of her kids together and making sure that the minute one dies they all die, now that's extreme. 

The worst part is that Elena has to be in between this family feud, basically signing everyone off to their death. She has to lie to Elijah who is probably the most honest member of that family and amidst all of that she is stuck between overprotected and on a heightened emotional roller coaster Damon and her non caring ex boyfriend Stefan. The battles over this girl just never seem to end. What seemed like the beginning of Delena was quickly shut down when Elena accidentally told Damon that he shouldn't love her. As she attempted to retrieve Stefan back Damon drowned his miseries in a bottle of liquor and shared a bed with the enemy, Rebekah. You know thats what I mean by twists. Rebakah just tried killing Elena, the girl Damon loves not even 24 hours ago and now he's rocking the bed with her. People, I understand keep your friends close and your enemies closer, but sheesh not that close. Does this mean Delena is finally over? Has she crushed Damon enough or has Stefan finally put her down for good and she will find comfort in Damon. 

I'm interested in seeing how the storyline with Matt and Cole escalates and develops. Cole seems like the ignorant and impulsive type and poor Matt cannot fend or defend himself. Will a relationship with Matt and Rebekah develop or will Rebekah stay with Damon??? And why the hell cant Stefan feel? Why does feeling make him hurt? That's such a oxymoron, even for a vampire. He won't let her be happy with Damon but he wont let his feelings for her come out. So he hurts her by keeping her away from a potentially good boyfriend and by rejecting her attempts at helping him. 

Lastly, after Ester attempted the spell the paper went up in flames? Does that mean the spell back fired? Why wouldn't it have worked? Is it wrong for a mother to kill her children? Have they all been bound together? It seems to me that in the next coming episodes the Salvator, Gilbert and Mikealson families will ultimately blend and unite as one. Who knows, maybe Klaus isn't even so bad after all. He doesn't seem to be bothering anybody at this point. Maybe all he needs is some love...

Gossip Girl- The Backup Dan

"The World Needs Gossip Girl"

Commitment is deep stuff. When you commit yourself to someone, it is your duty to uphold that commitment. Thats why despite how much how her life will suck for the next year, Blair didn't take the easy way out. So many times before Blair had everything resolved and handed to her. When all is said and done she had one of two choices. She could either save herself from a loveless marriage at the cost of her families fortune or stick by her choice and suffer the consequences. Which is exactly what she did. See of all people B is suited to become a princess. She has the grace, the elegance and the passion... she just doesn't have the prince. Her prince is a cold blooded jerk who would rather hold face and make her seem like a crazy lunatic than let go and admit that he was made a fool. If this could all be reversed it would mean that there was finally some hope for Chuck and Blair to be together again. His offer was a grand gesture, to buy her out of her marriage would be ideal, but it wouldn't necessarily work. To him Blair would just be property. She would have to pay off her debt to him and he would hold it over her head.... He might not, but he sure could. Seeing poor B loose everyone she cared about and sacrifice her life was pretty intense. The ending scene where she kissed Louie in front of the paparazzi was depressing because you could see the sadness and hurt in her eyes. Here was a girl who on her wedding day was ready to flee to the Dominican Republic to get a divorce. When you go to such extreme measures you know you made the wrong decision. And out of so many good apples, why do girls always choose the bad one?

So Georgina has not been Gossip Girl since the beginning of time? She has just taken over GG duties since GG chickened out and went offline after the accident. Well from the looks of it, the role of GG looks like a tiring one. Its much like a full-time career, except I'm sure its fun cause your ruining your enemies lives. Speaking of GG, if Serena didn't send in that video and Chuck didn't it leaves two people.... Georgina posted it herself or Dan sent it in. And from the looks of it, it seems like Dan sent the video in in order to stop Blair and Louie's marriage and maybe have Blair all to herself? The ending quote about blackmail being gold on the Upper East Side made it seem like in order to cause more havoc GG would reveal that lonely boy was actually the one to cause all the mischief. The revelation of this information would ultimately mean that Serena would hate Dan even more than she already does and Blairs friendship with Dan would be over. Is that why Dan fled the scene so quickly when the camera fell out of her purse? But with the negative comes a positive. This way Blair and Serena could become friends again because Serena was only covering for Chuck, just because she wanted to see her best friend happy. Any who the bonding scenes between Serena and Chuck, Chuck and Blair, Blair and Dan were all phenomenal. And as I've stated before any scene that Dorota has an appearance in, is epic. She literally is the hoot of this chaotic show.

So I knew the girl Nate was macking on looked familiar. She's the real CHARLIE RHODES. Smooth GG writers, smooth. So now Nate is going to get involved with the real Charlie, who already established a relationship with Lily. Lies are going to come out, namely to Charlie's mother and chaos will break loose. Funny thing how life works, her mother went through so much trouble to create a fake Charlie so she would not be corrupted by the family (I'm guessing) and the real Charlie, whose poor and not at all part of the in-crowd, still falls into the Archibald arms. I cannot wait to see this story play out. Seems like ever since Georgina has made her way back into New York story lines have just been exploding and unraveling. Keep this up GG writers, how long do you really think you can keep the tension between Chuck and Blair in a jar? 

Memorable Quotes

• GG: Everyone wants their wedding to be perfect but on the Upper East side, perfect isn't good enough. Although some disasters can be avoided. But no matter how you plan for perfection, there's always a hitch.

• Chuck: It appears our question has been answered. Blairs at my place.

• GG: Don't look so sad B. At least your prison is a palace.

The Vampire Diaries- Bringing Out The Dead

"Its just the allure of the Petrova doppleganger is still so strong..."

Talk about taking a trip back in time. A common theme in every vampire diaries episode seems to be death, but this episode had a whole lot of it followed by a whole lot of coming back from it. It is actually depressing that every time Elena leaves someones side, even Alarics, it becomes a question of will she ever see them again? That girl has lost way to many people in her life for it to be fricking normal. That being said, I disagree with Klaus about Stefan and Damon being the worst things possible for her. Yeah because of her love for Stefan she had to enter this crazy and mystical world, but given that she is the doppleganger she would have entered it anyways right? This way at least she knows she can always count on the Salvatore brothers for protection.

We can rule out the idea that Meredith is the killer. Although all things were leading up to her, somehow I feel like thats the obvious solution. At first I thought that she was obviously responsible for the horrible deaths and that Alaric was actually going to die since in the last episode Meredith asked about the ring that keeps him safe? I assumed she gave him a fake ring and let Elena finish him off. This is kind of why the cards turn in Meredith's favor: The killer didn't seem to have any knowledge about the wring.  Also why would she want to turn Bill into a vampire? It seems whoever did this is pretty inexperienced and hasn't done their digging. Except that leaves a lot of open doors. If she released Bill from the hospital why was he trying to sneak out through the back door? Why are the murders all closely connected to her? Is someone trying to frame her? All the weapons used belong to her new score. Her ex boyfriend was the first to go, than her patient, and than her current boyfriend. Plus their all being killed through a fake "stake of a vampire" and she has an obsession with vampires. Even so, I think someone else is behind all of this and the founding families are on the agenda. Its just odd to me how each person cannot remember who the hell killed them?

It was surprising to actually see Elijah stand up to Klaus. The return of the whole original family added some nice flavor to the show as I feel we are going to get to know the rest of the family a lot better. The real twist came with what was in the coffin. The original witch!!! And she didn't come for revenge, but rather to forgive Klaus for killing her. Yeah, mothers are always so kind and gentle but come on woman your son is a beast. If she has the power but won't kill him, how the hell are they going to get rid of Klaus? No one can believe anything he says or does because he is deceptive and cunniving. If he could kill his mother one time, what makes you think he can't do it again? She also seems like a decent woman, is she going to let her son walk around trying to make hybrids, keep Elena to himself and kill the Salvatore brothers? There are a lot of un-opened questions with this opened coffin. 

Despite everything that Elena has gone through at least she can say she's still alive. Caroline not so much. As much as she hated her father, when your about to loose something you always focus on the positive things rather than the negative. Bill never tried to hurt her, he only did what he could to help her. The fact that there was one man on this show who stuck by his beliefs so dearly and chose to die rather than try to cheat death was very powerful and he left with dignity and pride. My one fault with this episode was that Bill was able to stand in that sunny hospital room after he became a vampire? How did he magically get a ring to protect him from the sun? Since the mysterious murderer is out for families belonging to the founding families does that mean Mrs. Forbes is next on the list? I would hate to see Caroline suffer anymore than she already does. I wonder what that means for Tyler's lessons though? Is he going to give up and just continue being sired to Klaus? I also cannot place my finger on Matts storyline. Is he going to fall back in love with Caroline or was Klaus foreshadowing that Elena is going to hook back up with her ex boyfriend?

The two most touching scenes had to have occurred with the awesomely handsome brother duo's. After Elijah revealed the story of the original doppleganger Tatia, he admitted that her blood was the one that turned them all into vampires. She was also the girl both brothers were in love with and they feuded insanely because of their love and desire for her. This alludes to the present day struggle between Stefan, Damon and Elena. Klaus brought up a wonderful point as well. In order to keep him thriving he needs Elena's blood... And he needs her to reproduce so somewhere down the line he can have more little dopplegangers running around. She cannot reproduce with either of the Salvatore brothers. Their love might also turn her into a vampire. Both things he can not allow to happen. And despite that all, the craziest scene was between Stefan and Damon. Who would have known Stefan really still has some humanity left. Its safe to say everything he's been doing is to keep the woman he loves safe. Alternatively, those actions are exactly what pushed her into his brothers arms. Now they both love her, but neither of them have her....
