Last week, I suggested that maybe it was Tyler who was shot on the beach and not Daniel. After this week’s Revenge, “Intrigue,” I really hope that it was Tyler. What an asshole! I don’t know what his story is, but I do know that he is up to no good. I’ve read speculation that Tyler is in love with Daniel and that could explain his actions, but I think it has more to do with money and influence.
Tyler’s story doesn’t add up. Daniel hasn’t even met Tyler’s family. The only glitch at this point is how did Tyler get into an exclusive and expensive school to befriend Daniel? He could be on scholarship, but wouldn’t the students know who the scholarship kids are? Tyler has gone to great extents to discredit Emily, while getting in the good graces of Victoria and Conrad. One thought I have is … could he be Conrad’s illegitimate child, who is back to get what he deems rightfully his? We know that Conrad is a cheater,as is Victoria, though she would have presumably been pregnant with Daniel at or near that time. What do you think Tyler is up to with the Graysons?
So, Lydia isn’t dead … yet. I did notice that her eyes moved after she fell on the car, but I really thought she was a goner. Between Emily, Tyler, Frank, and even Victoria, I’m not sure we need another character who is around with a grudge. I’d rather the Lydia story be over, but it looks like she will be back to wreak havoc in the Hamptons whether alive or dead. This situation did set up and intriguing story for Frank though.
If anyone is going to figure out the truth about Emily, it is Frank. I’d much prefer that Jack figure out she is his Amanda, but after their oceanside heart-to-heart I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Insert sad face! Emily truly seems to be falling for Daniel, which is definitely going to complicate her plans. How can she crush his parents without hurting him? Even if he wants independence from them, I don’t think he wants to see them destroyed.

I don’t believe that Tyler’s related to one of the principals, but if he were Victoria’s son, he could easily have lied about being the same age as Daniel.
Now Charlotte being Emily’s half-sister, I could easily accept.

True. I think it’s more likely he’s Conrad’s kid. And, Conrad probably doesn’t even know he had a kid. Or, if he did, disavowed him and that’s why Tyler wants what he sees as his.
I almost mentioned Charlotte in this post, but decided not to. I do think there is something up with her parentage, possibly being Emily’s half-sister. I’m not sure what it is, but that would explain the comments that Victoria made to her therapist.
I definitely think that Tyler is in love with Daniel. In the scene in the bar when Tyler takes him to lie down, he almost kisses Daniel, and Daniel says “Get off me!” Later, Tyler slams his head into the pole outside to accuse Daniel.
Tyler is a pretender a la Matt Damon in the Talented Mr. Ripley. I’m betting that as “roomies” in Harvard, him and Daniel explored, meaning there’s a gay skeleton in Daniel’s closet – which would explain his alcohol conflict. Tyler is probably nursing a fatal attraction because he believes him and Daniel ought to be together. In other words, more fun for viewers of all walks!
Emily killed Daniel because she had sand on her hand.
Tyler is gay and tried to make out with Daniel, I feel sorry for Tyler because he has been in love with Daniel since school and did not have the nerve to tell Daniel that he is gay.
