Line 3: {{quote\|''"This is not a story about forgiveness."''\|'''[[Meaningful Name\|Emily Thorne]]'''}} Emily Thorne ([[Emily Van Camp]]) is new to the Hamptons. She's met some of her wealthy neighbors, has made a few new friends and seemingly blends into the town. But something is a little odd about a young girl living in a wealthy town all on her own, and the truth is that Emily isn't exactly new to the neighborhood. In fact, this was once her old neighborhood, until something bad happened that ruined her family and their reputation. Now Emily is back, and she's returned to right some of those wrongs in the best way she knows how -- with a vengeance. A modern retelling of [[Alexandre Dumas]]' ''[[The Count of Monte Cristo (novel)\|The Count of Monte Cristo]]''. ~~Anyone care to add a Character List?~~ ---- Line 58 ⟶ 56: * [[Cool Boat]]: Jack's (now Nolan's) boat is this, a hand restored sail boat that looks nothing short of fantastic. * [[Con Man]]: Tyler. Unfortunately for him, Nolan is better. {{quote\| Nolan: You can't con a con.}} * [[Convenient Coma]]: Lydia * [[Convenient Miscarriage]]: Victoria had a fake one after she married Conrad. She was never pregnant and used a [[Baby Trap]] to get him to marry her. Line 168 ⟶ 166: * [[Secret Keeper]]: Nolan for Emily. * [[See You in Hell]]: The last exchange between {{spoiler\|Conrad and Victoria}} in the season finale: {{quote\| {{spoiler\|'''Conrad'''}}: If you get on that plane, it's the last thing you'll ever do.~~<br />~~ {{spoiler\|'''Victoria'''}}: Then I guess I'll see you in Hell! }} * [[Setting Update]] * [[Shout-Out]]: One neighborhood fixture is the [[Dallas (1978 TV series)\|South Fork]] Inn, quite appropriate for a soapy revenge tale. Emily's therapist has a copy of [[The Count of Monte Cristo (novel)\|The Count of Monte Cristo]] on her bookshelf. ** Nolan refers to Emily as his "girl with the infinity tatoo," recognizing her similarity with Lisbet Salander, [[The Millennium Trilogy\|the girl with the dragon tatoo]]. * [[Shipper on Deck]]: Nolan seems to be shipping Jack/Emily, although his motives remain unclear. It's possible he just wants to anchor her to her happy past and not lose herself in the revenge. The two are also the closest things he has to actual friends/relationships. Line 188 ⟶ 186: * [[Start of Darkness]]: The flashback episode "Legacy" is this for Emily. * [[Stepford Smiler]]: Victoria Grayson rarely stops smiling, even as it becomes clear that she loathes many of the other characters (her husband, Emily, Lydia...). [[Invoked Trope\|Invoked]] by Victoria during a particularly vicious spiel to Lydia: {{quote\| ''"Understand something, Lydia: every time I smile at you across a room, or we run into each other at a luncheon, or I welcome you into my home, let that smile be a reminder of just how much I despise you."''}} ** Emily herself is something of a heroic version of this, as she appears sunny and nice but is in actuality motivated by making those who hurt her father suffer * [[Take a Third Option]]: {{spoiler\|Due to Takeda's manipulations, Emily is stuck with choosing either Daniel or Jack to be framed for Tyler's murder. Instead, she frames one of Victoria's goons, thus protecting both boys.}} Line 225 ⟶ 223: [[Category:American Series]] [[Category:The New Tens]] [[Category:Revenge (TV series)]] [[Category:TV Series]] [[Category:TV Series]]
