Season 3 E6: "Dissolution" - 2013.11.03

"Dissolution"

Roadblocks seem to be mounting for Emily as Daniel’s attention is focused elsewhere, Grayson Manor may cease to exist, and two of the most important people in Emily’s life start turning on her – leading her to do something very uncharacteristic.

Enjoy!

Seriously??  We needed MORE roadblocks???  I think rather than shoot her, they need to tie her to a railroad track and bring in Snidely Whiplash to demand the deed to her ranch. 

She'll do something uncharacteristic?  Like devise a plan that actually works?

LOL! Yeah at this point the story is over. It's really no fun anymore.

This episode had the feeling of an "ending" for the whole series about it.  So much for Emily and Jack sailing off into the sunset together . . . sigh!  Looks like it's going to be her and Aiden.  While I like her and Aiden together - that was some love scene! - I really want her to be with Jack.  I wonder what else she said to Nolan and Jack? 

She's certainly giving up a lot to get rid of the Graysons - she's going to have to change her identity again.  I wonder what the writers have in store for the rest of the season after the shooting.

The conversation between Jack and Nolan was interesting.  It was also interesting to hear Jack say he wants to protect Emily.

Now we know who will shoot Emily.  Looks like you were right, Miecies - it's all a set-up.  Plus, it looks like it's been planned for some time since Emily said the wedding honeymoon was going to be on the boat. 

That was quite a con job Emily did on Conrad about the beach! 

It is so nice to see the show week after week this season with no interruptions!

Oh honey she and Aiden aren't about to sail away together. The plan will fall apart because nothing ever goes right for Emily. But I don't believe she will sail off with Jack either. I think she and Jack might have a brief fling but realize to much has happened. The nature of this show just doesn't lend itself to such a fairy tale ending. Emily wrecked some innocent lives. I think in the end she will lose out because revenge is never the answer. Like the quote that flashed at the beginning of the series "When in pursuit of revenge, dig two graves."

BlueMoon wrote:I wonder what else she said to Nolan and Jack?

What do you mean? She told them that she was going to frame Victoria for her murder. That was the last thing said before the credits rolled.

Other musings
Emily's plan is stupid. This in no way exonerates her father which I thought was the whole point of the show. Silly me.  

I had forgotten how needy Nolan was but sure enough they pulled back from season 1 and reminded us that he was simply after friendship.  

I didn't understand any of that convoluted Patrick must leave-we got to protect Charlotte-plot with Jack and Nolan.

Victoria & Conrad (mostly Victoria) makes this show for me, along with Aiden. Victoria is such a diva! That woman had an escort to her husband's office! LOL! I loved the way she took Aiden by the arm when she came home at his request to clue her in on Conrad and the house sale falling apart.

Charlotte and Daniel are perfect siblings. The best Daniel comes out around her. I think Sarah is the foremention casting that was referenced as Jenny. They did a secret casting, meaning giving the press the wrong name for the character as not to give away a plot. I like that they're pulling from the past.

Aiden and Emily are still the go to couple for me.

This has to be short.  I can't sit for too long.

I still don't get the point of her marrying Daniel.  If she's supposed to be dead, he inherits all her money.

Don't get why we had to have the Patrick/Nolan deal either.  I was ready to turn it off when they kissed.

The whole plot is flat out stupid.  I'm thinking this is the last season.  The writers are obviously worn thin.

Well, I would say that's what Emily said, and it does sound like she and Aiden have a plan, but you are right that "nothing ever goes right for Emily."  That being said, what do you think will happen?

While I am still hoping for "a fairy tale ending" for Emily and Jack - after all, he does seem to be coming around - you're right that this show will most likely not end that way because revenge is not a pretty game.

It just seemed like there was more to that scene - things the producers didn't want us to see/hear.

I thought the first plan in season one where she was going to take down the Graysons with the info on that computer was more of an exoneration of her father than this.  This is just going to be her taking out Victoria.

Victoria is fun to watch - even though she's evil!   I wonder where they got that gold in the warehouse, and I wonder if it was even real.

I think Sarah must be Jenny, too.  That means I won't have to worry about Jack and Jenny now. 

Aiden and Emily can be steamy!

I guess she thinks she can hurt Victoria by marrying him.  I still think she's got her money all tied up, and Daniel won't get a penny. 

I'm thinking the series finale will come this season, too.  After she marries Daniel and Victoria lands up in prison for her murder, what's left?

I was sad to see Aiden punch holes in the walls of the beach house.  I thought Emily loved that house . . .  

I always thought Emily wanted to live at the beach house - it's just so hard to think of her disappearing for forever . . .

Charlotte is turning out to be such a two-faced witch!   I wonder how she will feel about Emily when/if she finds out she's her half-sister?

It's always fun to see what Victoria is going to be wearing.  She's always so dressed up to just knock around the house.

singlyme wrote:I still don't get the point of her marrying Daniel. If she's supposed to be dead, he inherits all her money.

Neither do I and I don't think I ever will. I'm guessing Emily took care of the money issue prior to faking her death. She will need money to live off.

I think she's going to get shot for real. And since it's her honeymoom cruise with immediate family only, I'm banking on Charlotte actually doing the deed. Aiden since he's in on the plan will probably be the one to save her. Where they go from there I have no clue.

But you do need to worry about Margaux. Sorry sweetie.

When all this is over I think the Hamptons would be the last place Emily would want to settle down. I can't see her wanting to stay amongst the ruins of her destruction.

Absolutely, she will need money to live off of.  Plus, she's got expensive property all over the world that she'll have to maintain - taxes, if nothing else.  She may even need some cosmetic surgery to change her appearance.

I think Charlotte is a good candidate for being the shooter, too.  Yes, Aiden will save her.

Ah, yes, that pesky Margaux . . .   I'm counting on Jack feeling something for Emily.  I'm glad Team Emily is now not only Aiden, but also Nolan and Jack with each of the team members knowing about the other.

Did you notice after Emily saw Margaux and Jack kissing that one of the next scenes was her and Aiden and she just seemed to throw herself at him? . . . I really think she wants her chance with Jack, even though she may find out he's not the one she really wants in the end.

I personally would find it hard to sit on that porch and look at the Graysons' old house, even with someone else living in it.  It would definitely have to go, then, I think I could possibly live there - at least during the summers.

I also can't see the point when Em said it was vital that the Graysons remain in the mansion - like she plans to blow it up with them in it.  Certainly, she wants to keep an eye on them - but why put the manor house in jeopardy to begin with?

If the shooting comes at the mid season finale, I wonder if the writers will leave us in the dark as to whether or not she was really shot.  I wouldn't put it past them.  Since nothing's followed plan, it wouldn't be surprising.  Aiden, not being immediate family, shouldn't be on the boat unless he stows away.  He ought to be waiting under water with scuba gear.  So...if he is, WHO shoots her?  If she's disappearing at sea, there must be a plan to get away from the boat's wake unseen.  Tanks attached to the bottom of the boat?  Risky if the boat pulls away.

We've got WAY too many love subplots going on - And I thought last season was bad.  Cheesh.  Now, even Daniel and Jack have multiple possibilities.  MUCH too convoluted.

She didn't want the house sold. When she said bring down the house to Aiden she meant it as a way to stop the sale of the house not to destroy it. Hence why she faked foundation problems around her home so that the realtor would begin to question whether GM had the same foundation issues and Conrad wasn't disclosing. He would want to buy a home that was slipping into the ocean.

Oh honey, it's about to get worse. A beautiful, strong woman from Aiden's past is introduced when we come back from the mid-season finale. It appears Emily is about to lose the attention of all her syncophants.

I hope this means that Emily and Jack can get together.  As always, I am ever hopeful in "happily ever after."
