Revenge, The Walking Dead and some Client List

For those of you have numerous shows on one night and can't find a way to watch them all before 2 am.. well you have me. Sunday is one of those nights for me, I'll review Revenge, The Walking Dead and The Client List. The sad part is that's not all of the Sunday shows I wish I could watch.
Revenge starts off right where is left off last week with Emily (Emily VanCamp) talking to Aiden (Barry Sloane) about how at the cemetery she ran into her foster brother Eli (he doesn't recognize her). We then get a couple flashbacks just so reference the relationship between the siblings- which seems to be very close, she quotes him as her "protector."

Some story-lines are formed in the beginning- Jack (Nick Wechsler) still trying to figure out what happened the night Amanda (Margarita Levieva) was killed and he was shot, the Graysons starting a new charity in honor of Amanda called 'The Amanda Clarke Foundation' to help children, Daniel (Josh Bowman) trying to deal with the guilt he is feeling and also Emily trying to figure out what her brother is doing in town.

Emily finally has a conversation with her foster brother Eli, once he figures out that she is in fact Amanda- he sees the tattoo on her wrist and remembers her always drawing the sign on everything. He talks about how he tried to find her after she got out of juvy but she was off the grid. She talks to her like she really cares about him and is happy to see him but he needs to leave. She says she will help him start over with money but he just needs to do it somewhere else.

Jack get some information about the night Amanda died from deckhand/boat owner at the docks. The man tells him about a guy who wanted to rent the boat and later that night decided he wanted to buy it. The boat owner then describes what the man looked like who wanted to buy the boat. Without the boat owner knowing he describes Nolan (Gabriel Mann) to a T. The boat owner then tells Jack that's all he knows and Jack informs him that that is okay he has done more than enough. At the foundation party Jack confronts Nolan about being there the night Amanda died. Nolan denies it and does some work with the boat owner information, making it look like one of the Ryan brothers (Kenny) owned it. All ends well with this story-line, Jack and Nolan are okay.

The majority of the episode surrounds the foundation party being thrown by the Graysons. Nolan and Emily arrive together. They talk to Eli together and help wipe his criminal record clean and give him money to get a fresh start- $100,000.00 of a fresh start. Although Eli isn't ready to leave yet. Emily tries to drop negative hints to Ashley who then relays them to Victoria about how Eli isn't a good guy- hoping they will ask him to leave. Aiden continues to try to get in with Daniel without much luck, he even starts to bother Daniel. Aiden decides to try a different way by trying to push Daniel back to Emily. Either way one of them will get Daniel back on their side. The push works because after Daniel turns to his father Conrad for information, Conrad informs him that the charity is a front and a way to hind the Graysons money. Daniel turns to Emily to share this information and a lot more..Initiative. Toward the end of the evening, Eli gives the check Emily gave him back to Victoria as a donation to the charity in honor of Amanda.

We learn the Eli will be staying around for a little while, since Victoria has appointed him co-chair of the charity.

Nolan and Emily get information from Aiden about how to get into the charity account and try to bankrupt the Graysons but hit a firewall they didn't expect. Another flashback, with Nolan and David Clarke comes back. Another story-line starts, The Falcon- a computer hacker who helped frame David Clarke is back on the Graysons payroll. He has put in a firewall code to protect the Graysons account. The episode ends with Emily saying "lets go hunting". I am assuming that 'The Falcon' will take up more of the rest of the season trying to figure out who this person it. I am also excited to see how fall Jack will push the revenge line himself. And will Emily and Daniel reconnect?? And what is Eli's plan??

The Walking Dead starts off with a flashback of Andrea (Laurie Holden) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) during the winter. Nothing to important here. Present time we are back in Woodbury where they are preparing for war against Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the prison group. Milton (Dallas Roberts) finds the Governor (David Morrissery) in his own little prison of hell (seems to be preparing an area for Michonne if he gets her. This little dungeon comes back into play at the end of the episode.

Milton tells Andrea to leave and get everyone out of the prison, that the Governor will move on in time. Andrea insist that she needs to kill him. In the end she doesn't and just decides to leave like Milton says.

There isn't a lot that goes on in this episode that is really important. Andrea gets out of Woodbury and the Governor finds out and tries to go out and find her. She ends up running into an empty warehouse to get away from him. He tracks her there and tries to get her to come back to Woodbury. She decided differently and lets a bunch of walkers after him and she takes off. At the end of the episode she finally finds the prison and is almost there when the Governor jumps her and holds her down so Rick can't see her. He then takes her back to Woodbury without anyone knowing and puts her in the dungeon. Who knows what will happen to our crazy and opinionated Andrea...

Other things that happen in this episode is all the guns are collected in Woodbury to use during this upcoming war with Ricks group. The stash of walkers the the Governor is hinding are burned by someone (either by Milton or someone in Tyreese's group I am assuming). The Governor then tells Martinez that they will need more walkers and to get some more. Tyreese and his sister start to become more uneasy about Woodbury.

The Client List isn't an extremely intense episode but it is still full of little moments that are a big deal.

Riley (Jennifer Love Hewitt) tries to hire new girls for the spa and she seems to find the perfect girl in Nikki.

Evan (Colin Egglesfield) takes Riley out for some private time together. A put put golf play date with a picnic.

Riley and Georgia (Loretta Devine) talk about how to get Kyle's chargers away from the spa, because it is drawing to much attention.

Riley talks to Kyle (Brian Hallisay) more about the copper wire chargers and to give the judge more information to get him out of jail, that he needs to be out so his kids can see him but he doesn't cave.

The police get a search warrant for her house. They are looking for cash that Kyle would have sent home to Riley and the kids. She worries about 'the client list' being found. Everything goes fine and nothing is found. Later that day a mystery man shows up at Riley's doorstep with a lot of cash. Riley ends up giving it back to the owner of the business Kyle stole it from. It doesn't help Kyle out though.

The police turn up at the spa wanting to look around but Riley tells them to leave and not come back without a search warrant.

End the end of the episode Riley takes 'the client list' reads the whole thing and then buries it out at her mothers owned land. The next morning Evan comes over and they get a little alone time before someone interrupts them and it happens to be Manny (the nice cop) that informs Riley that something has happened to her mother and that there was an accident.

What happened to Riley's mom?? Will Kyle ever get out of jail and will we have find out what was up with him and the snake skinned boots cop when he first got home (the one who arrested him)?? Plus we get to see a new worker at The Rub and it's a guy...
