Although this was a good episode, I felt somewhat cheated. This was the first episode since before the Xmas break and I was expecting something along the lines of the best the series has to offer. But for me, having Tyler (Ashton Holmes) come unhinged and take over Daniel's Birthday party at gunpoint only to be thwarted at the end by being distracted at his brothers presence was a bit of a letdown. Even though he was hauled off in handcuffs by the police, you can be sure he will return by the end of the season if not sooner. I still say he is the one that gets popped at the end on the beach.

I'm also gonna throw this out there. I'm gonna say that it will be revealed that Emily 2.0 (the real Amanda Clarke) real mother is Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe). Yep, that means Emily is sleeping with her own....half brother. Ewwwww. The flashback sequence shows us that Victoria and David Clarke (James Tupper) had a relationship during the whole beach sequence during the time of the frame job. But what if  Victoria gave the baby up for adoption and only started the affair with David later to get closer to Amanda, knowing she was her daughter. Who knows. This is a fricking soap opera after all. But there is definitely something brewing with the writers to come up with a twist for the season finale. What better way than to have it turn out that she is her mother, putting the kibosh on Emily's revenge plot? It could happen. I'm only throwing this out there because I can't remember it being mentioned about what happened to Amanda's birth mother since it's been all about avenging her father so far.

Also, I think Victoria's lawyer Ryan Huntley (James McCaffrey) is working for Conrad and setting her up with that fake miscarriage document. It wouldn't faze me to see Conrad pulling out the big guns to make sure she goes down and gets nothing in the divorce proceedings. Having said that, the whole "miscarriage" thing kind of leads me to believe that Victoria faking that she had one is the perfect set up to reveal that Victoria is Amanda's mother. The writers will obviously have to come up with a scenario that has her jetting off somewhere for 9 months to hide her pregnancy from Conrad, have the baby, give baby up for adoption and then return back home to Conrad and his money.
