ABC’s ‘Revenge’ season 4 spoilers: An Emily VanCamp surprise in winter finale

First of all, let’s start this “Revenge” article with some scheduling information: No longer is this show ending its first season on Sunday, December 14. Instead, it’ll be wrapping up the first part of season 4 a week earlier on December 7, and the show is going to return at some point in early January. It is still not entirely clear just when that will be, but they are separating it at least for a time from “Once Upon a Time” (probably not a great move if it wants to build up its ratings).

Now that we’ve said all this, why don’t we go ahead and get into sharing some of the first big details on this last episode of 2014? The title for it is “Atonement,” and before giving us the official synopsis (which you can see below), ABC teased that one of Emily Thorne’s biggest secrets may be exposed. Does this mean that we are going to see the news finally be released publicly about who she really is? While that’s not confirmed, it would make for a heck of an Emily VanCamp story to start off the new year.

Now that we’ve said all of that, we bring you to the synopsis:

“Jack is torn between Emily and the new woman in his life, while Nolan and Louise bring Southern charm to East Hampton.”

Who is the new lady in Jack’s life? We would speculate here that more than likely, we are talking about the agent who we saw in this past episode, who may still have some sort of secret that we don’t quite know about. After all, isn’t this the case with every character on this show?
