ABC’s ‘Revenge’ season 3, episode 11 preview: Emily VanCamp and a ‘Homecoming’ struggle
Sunday night marks the return of “Revenge” for a few brief episodes before it goes into hiatus until March, and one of the interesting questions that is going to come up right away is just who is this new Emily Thorne? Is this a woman really suffering from a case of amnesia, or does she have a darker, more malicious sort of intent behind her every move? It may take a little while to put all of these pieces together, but we’re hoping for the latter … mostly because amnesia is something ripped out of page 1 of the soap handbook.
While many details are still under wraps about this episode, there are a few things that we can tell you right away in terms of what to expect:
1. Unless Emily was lying to everyone, including Jack and Aiden, her being in the hospital was never her plan. Therefore, she is either thinking on the fly, or truly suffering.
2. While the promotional photos out there (including the one above) tease that there will be three people in particular who visit her at the hospital, we expect that number of be higher.
3. Daniel Grayson is going to have a difficult reaction to what has transpired with his new wife, and that sets up the path for the character the rest of the season.
4. Expect Jack to have a much more active role in everything from here on out.
5. Victoria may not know everything about Emily just yet, but she is at least feeling like she knows enough to give her a newfound sense of power. Therefore, she is probably going to do just about everything that she can to exploit it.

The show would pretty much be over if she did suffer from amnesia as the whole show revolves around Emily’s revenge, if she forgets about that then what is the use of the show

I think that Emily will fall back into the role of Amanda Clarke – possibly a true reaction to her accident, although others will be saying “Poor girl, she thinks she’s someone else”. It will allow the writers to explore a relationship with Jack – she will actually remember him, having known him as Amanda, though years ago. When Aidan and Nolan try to tell her what is actually going on her reaction will be, “I’ve been doing WHAT?!” When she does regain her memory, I hope she keeps it secret for a while and continues the role playing as Amanda. Where better to watch the drama she set up unfold than from the relatively safe position of amnesia?
