In revenge, as in life, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In the end, the guilty always fall.

What's my little girl with the infinity tattoo up to today?
Suddenly she's thinking of filing a restraining order.
Well, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black.
Guilt is a powerful affliction. You can try to turn your back on it, but that's when it sneaks up behind you and eats you alive. Some people struggle to understand their own guilt, unwilling or unable to justify the part they play in it. Others run away from their guilt, shutting their conscience until there's no conscience left at all. But I run toward my guilt. I feed off of it. I need it. My father died never knowing if I would ever come to believe his innocence. For me, guilt is one of the few lanterns that still light my way.
They say vengeance taken will tear the heart and torment the conscience. If there's any truth to it, then I now know with certainty that the path I'm on is the right one.
Like life, revenge can be a messy business. And both would be much simpler if only our heads could figure out which way our hearts will go. But the heart has its reasons which reason cannot know.
[showing Emily the video of Frank's attempted murder of Lydia] That thud you hear... is the sound of Lydia hitting the roof of the taxi five stories down.
I can't believe she survived.
I can't believe I survived.
FFrank
[on the video] Victoria, it's Frank. I have some bad news to report. Lydia Davis just jumped off her balcony. Call me when you get this.
You know, if I'd shown up one minute earlier, that psychopath would've caught me.
Yeah, but he didn't. And you made it out with the list and the video camera.
[handing Emily the photograph Lydia was going to use to expose her] And this.
We got lucky.
You might want to revisit your definition of "lucky" in the dictionary. Lydia might die because of us.
If Lydia dies, it's because she sold her soul to the Graysons. This wasn't supposed to happen. I didn't set any of this in motion, they did.
Fine. Let's say she survives. Wakes up tomorrow remembering only one thing: this picture. Eventually, someone's gonna find you out.
Not if they believe it's all been Frank. As far as the Graysons know... Lydia attempted suicide. When they see this video, they'll know that Frank lied to them.
Let's send a copy to the police.
No police. Frank dug his own grave. All we need is for Victoria and Conrad to bury him in it.
[Ashley is planning Victoria's 4th of July party] Ashley, this looks fantastic. Very festive.
Thanks, although I have to admit it is slightly humiliating having to plan a party celebrating the defeat of England. I don't do well with rejection.
Obviously. That was over two hundred years ago.
As Hamlet said to Ophelia, "God has given you one face, and you make yourself another". The battle between these two halves of identity... who we are and who we pretend to be... is unwinnable.
[to Tyler] Ah, ambiguous sexual identity — I get it. I’m about a three on the Kinsey scale.
Just as there are two sides to every story, there are two sides to every person. One that we reveal to the world, and another that we keep hidden inside: a duality governed by the balance of light and darkness. Within each of us is the capacity for both good and evil. But those who are able to blur the moral dividing line hold the true power.
Tyler never showed up for dinner. I'm impressed. How'd you do it?
Well, I can't take all the credit. I took a page from the angel of revenge herself. Dug up some dirt, used it for leverage.
What's the dirt?
Suffice it to say our boy is a bit of a con man. What he doesn't know is you can't con a con.
Gay? Eh. Hustler? Maybe.
My first solo takedown.
There's an old saying about those who cannot remember the past being condemned repeated. But those of us who refuse to forget the past are condemned to relive it.
This wasn’t part of the plan.
Neither was aiding and abetting your evil twin.
