"I have noticed something funny, watching Revenge lately: every time somebody snaps something like &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;#x27;ll take care of it&amp;amp;#8221;&amp;amp;#8212;and then goes and takes care of something&amp;amp;#8212;that somebody has long, swingy wavy hair. Side note: Watching Revenge has me convinced that the real secret to great hair is harbor burning, shameful secrets for years, rinse, and repeat. All kidding and body envy aside&amp;amp;#8212;ask yourself this question: How would Revenge be any different right now if all the men just disappeared? (Now ask it again in a sinister voice, and add a maniac-laugh at the end. Just for kicks.) Let&amp;amp;#8217;s review, shall we? (Spoilers ahead.) Emily is at a personal low in terms of efficiency&amp;amp;#8212;she&amp;amp;#8217;s running into roadblocks everywhere. But she&amp;amp;#8217;s working through it. Ashley is back in the Grayson household and seemingly more powerful than ever. Amanda now splits her time between cooing to baby Carl and blackmailing the bejesus out of Conrad. Charlotte holds baby Carl while Amanda does the latter. Padma&amp;amp;#8217;s got problems of her own, but almost brought down Nolan and, if his vague warnings are to be believed, the human race&amp;amp;#8212;or something?&amp;amp;#8212;by outing his old crazy program to the Initiative. (Who knows, maybe she still will. She could be a double triple quadruple agent.) And Victoria&amp;amp;#8212;well, Victoria is pushing the boundaries of self-preservation more than ever. Boom. Meanwhile, what are the men up to? Oh, you know. Conrad&amp;amp;#8217;s been babbling on about some potential political campaign nobody cares about&amp;amp;#8212;this isn&amp;amp;#8217;t The Good Wife or Nashville, guys. Stick to what you&amp;amp;#8217;re good at. Daniel mostly hangs out in his lonely city office, walking right into Initiative traps and pacing around his office like it&amp;amp;#8217;s a hamster cage. Declan is really good at watching Charlotte watch the baby. Aidan&amp;amp;#8217;s been doing a bang-up job of walking away, stopping, and walking away some more, then coming back later in a linen shirt and playing King of the Mountain on a sand dune. Oh, and Jack shaved for the wedding! I&amp;amp;#8217;m just saying&amp;amp;#8212;there&amp;amp;#8217;s a lotta downtime right now, and it mostly falls on the fellas. I&amp;amp;#8217;ve seen guys attempt to look busy before, but usually it&amp;amp;#8217;s just some faux-purposeful walking towards a shed, followed by a stealthy escape to the basement big screen. At least then they&amp;amp;#8217;re out of sight&amp;amp;#8212;we have to watch these men mill around. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t get it&amp;amp;#8212;and it can&amp;amp;#8217;t be good news for them. After all, the quickest way to get in trouble on this show is just stand still for a couple minutes and wait for it to come to you. So look lively, fellas. If the women can run s--- and still look this good, it&amp;amp;#8217;s high time you did some work, too. Does anyone else feel like the men of Revenge just aren&amp;amp;#8217;t bringing it lately?
