'Revenge' Season 04 Episode 14 Recap: 'Kindred'

In this week’s episode of “Revenge,” Emily Thorne is faced with the possibility of shedding her false identity and coming out as Amanda Clarke. Her best friend Nolan Ross decides to marry Louise Ellis, while Victoria Grayson tries to keep her throne as the queen of Hamptons high society. Meanwhile, Jack Porter is haunted by his conscience after his first kill as a police officer.

Now that Conrad Grayson and Malcolm Black are both dead, there are no more immediate threats endangering David and Amanda Clarke. David’s name has been cleared and he feels that Emily can finally reveal her true identity as his daughter Amanda. Emily contemplates the idea and examines her life. While she has always been looking forward to ending her revenge plots once her father’s name is cleared, she never thought that he would still be alive and they can resume living their lives as father and daughter. After much thought, she decides that she has already established a good life for herself as Emily Thorne and she does not want to go through the process of uprooting herself and explaining to everyone why she had to live under a different name for so long. Now that she can finally relax, Emily decides to start a romance with officer Ben Hunter.

Nolan Ross is now free to help other people now that Emily’s mission is technically over. He takes it upon himself to help Louise Ellis reclaim her inheritance from her mother and brother who had been drugging her for years so that they can control the money that her father left her. Nolan decides to marry Louise to exploit a legal loophole that keeps her mother in charge of her wealth. He also digs up some legal documents that clear Louise of false claims that she murdered her father.

Now that Louise is back in control of her wealth and power, her first friend in The Hamptons, Victoria Grayson, isn’t doing as well. She and David have finally revealed their indiscretions to one another and have seen that they can’t be together anymore. Now she’s putting her energies into a foundation in her son Daniel’s name. Unfortunately, none of her friends want to support the foundation because they are under the impression that Daniel was killed while he was attacking his ex-wife, Emily.

Jack Porter, who was instrumental in taking down Malcolm Black, is being honoured with a medal by the Mayor. He doesn’t feel comfortable accepting the award because he is troubled by the blood on his hands. He can’t wrap his head around killing his girlfriend Kate who turned out to be a dirty FBI Agent. Even though he did it to save Emily, he decides that he isn’t the kind of person who is built for this kind of a job and quits.

Meanwhile, while Margaux Lemarchal is digging up dirt on Emily to clear Daniel’s name, she discovers Jack’s involvement in the recent killings that led to the criminal Malcolm Black’s death. Unfortunately, while it looks like a legitimate police operation, she discovers that there were a lot of cover-ups that took place and more bodies than those that were accounted for. She plots her revenge in the name of Daniel and is about to be a brand new enemy just when everyone thought the whole ordeal is over.
