The second season of the ABC American television drama series Revenge started on September 30, 2012 on Sundays. An hour long recap show of the first season called "The First Chapter" was shown the week before the premiere on September 26, 2012 at 9:00 pm Eastern / 8:00 pm Central. The series stars Madeleine Stowe and Emily VanCamp. The season premiere received mixed response from critics, with many praising the acting while criticizing the plot, saying that it didn't live up to the suspense of the first season. Reviews did improve as the season progressed.
Emily, having discovered her mother is alive, postpones her revenge plan and sets out on a journey to find her mother. Digging into her past, traumatic memories from her childhood resurface, and she discovers the Graysons' involvement with her mother's disappearance. Her search leads her to discover that her mother, now known as Kara Clarke-Murphy, was married to her father's murderer, the mysterious white-haired man whose name is Gordon Murphy.
The Graysons face turmoil after numerous events: Victoria has faked her death and is now living in hiding, Charlotte has overcome her addiction but is entrapped in rehab by Conrad, and Daniel, now CEO of Grayson Global, is soon facing the mysterious organization known as the Americon Initiative.
The Porters rejoice over Jack's newborn son Carl, but the dangerous past of their father and Declan's rebellious behavior lead them to troubled waters. Amanda is publicly accepted as part of the Grayson family but still hides her demons from Jack. The secretive Ryan brothers buy the Stowaway to free Declan from theft charges, however, more deeply rooted motivations are revealed to be ruling their decision.
Social climber Ashley Davenport takes over Victoria's spot as Queen of the Hamptons, but is soon stripped of her position; later, she plots revenge. Nolan becomes attracted to the clever Padma Lahari, whom he appoints as CFO of his company, but Lahari has a secret agenda of her own. Finally, a man from Emily's past, Aiden Mathis, re-enters her life and becomes a partner in her plans for revenge.
The blackout of Manhattan is in full effect. Charlotte has just told Daniel that she is pregnant, Conrad is getting his campaign ready for victory, and Victoria is at the Stowaway with Jack (Carl is said to be out of town with his grandmother). Jack tells Victoria his whole plan for getting revenge. Victoria tells Conrad that Jack and Ashley have been working against him. Emily and Nolan find Takeda's body, and Emily realizes that it was Aiden who killed him. Aiden tells Emily that Takeda has been using her all along; Takeda's fiancée was on Flight 197. Regina and Declan are trapped in a bank and Declan realizes that Regina is actually in love with Charlotte. Regina plants money in Declan's coat and bruises herself to show Charlotte later that Declan is wrong for her. Victoria finds out that Charlotte is pregnant with Declan's baby. As Daniel works feverishly to turn Aiden in to the authorities, Emily and Nolan become aware of an assassin, Gregor Hoffman, who has been hired by Conrad to bomb Grayson Global. This is a plot to show his voters how he reacts in a disaster. Conrad sends Jack a message from Ashley's phone, telling him that he found Emily's computer that contains incriminating information on the Graysons, and where it is - Grayson Global. Emily, who disposed of the laptop herself, realizes it's a trap and rushes to Grayson Global to save Jack, knowing the bomb will go off when he arrives. As Emily tries to intercept Jack, Conrad is speaking to his supporters, surrounded by Daniel and Victoria. Everyone in Manhattan suddenly receives a text message declaring "Long Live David Clarke". Then the bomb goes off.
