Nolan proves himself an invaluable ally by preventing Victoria outbidding 'Emily' for the Southampton beach-house she wants as HQ for sentimental reasons. His firm's latest major deal also provides her the means to lure Bill Harmon into ruining his hedge fund. Victoria's hunky Harvard son Daniel quickly falls for Emily, but that inspires Victoria to hire a P.I. for a thorough check-up, which reveal the two year (prison) gap between Amanda and the fake Emily persona. Jack Porter has to sell his treasured yacht to Nolan to pay father's debts, but is offered a generous escape. His kid brother Declan's plan to score a date with Charlotte on it falls trough, rival Adam Connor's preppy mates gang up beastly on the poor puppy and their father Carl has a cardiac crisis.

R like redrum. The show is not Shining but the pilot revealed that someone will die and Amanda told us that collateral damages are inevitable. Innocent people will get hurt.
E like Emily. If it wasn't for her father's diary and her childhood memories we wouldn't know anything about her true identity. I hope the flashbacks featuring the little girl will keep illuminating the episodes because they're probably my favorite moments.
V like Victoria. Madeleine Stowe's vicious and gorgeous character surely drives the audience wild. I both love and hate her. Usually I dislike one dimensional profiles but here it's well balanced by Amanda's one even if they're both playing a dangerous game. In fact the most interesting thing about them is that they're challenging players. They're both beautiful and smart women To Die For.
E like eclecticism. From the heterogeneous characters to the diverse sets it seems all episodes will look different. Jack's family should grow on you even more after what happened. Nolan Ross is also an other individual to count on and what an enigmatic one !
N like need. The pilot already hooked me but this second installment made me crave the upcoming episode. I'm as intrigued as Victoria is suspicious. Moreover the episodic format is almost impalpable as all stories serve the same purpose, leading us to the tragic event covered in the pilot.
8 like ∞. The clock is ticking and it's as hypnotic to watch as looking at a rotating hourglass. The main story is also supported by numerous minor arcs that make things way more entertaining and unpredictable. Even a simple pawn could checkmate the Queens in this game !
E like exoticism. Forget the diary, they should have tattooed Amanda's photo on Emily VanCamp's body. She's no Michael Scofield but her goal is similar to his as she has to break a puzzle into pieces. Her dark motives are also mirrored by wonderful visuals like the one on the beach. ABC's budget is high and it shows every single second !
