Every once in a while, a show will have a bad episode. It’s normal – a fact of life when you’re producing 42-44 minutes of television on a weekly basis. But then every other once in a while, an episode isn’t simply bad; it’s downright awful.

I’ve mentioned a few times how challenging Game Of Thrones can be to recap. There’s often an urge to try and find an overarching theme that unifies the episode and inevitably everyone seems to identify a different one. There’s also the frequent danger of lapsing into a basic point by point breakdown of the episode, which can make for some pretty dry reading. With that in mind, let’s tackle this week’s episode.

It’s like a high school reunion! With only a few episodes before the big finale, Revenge goes into flashback mode to 2002 and the start of Emily’s (Emily VanCamp) quest for REVENGE. The real fun, however, is seeing everyone she screwed over back in the game.
