"Betrayal" is the third episode of the American television series Revenge, it premiered on ABC on October 5, 2011.
The episode was written by Salvatore Stabile and directed by Matt Earl Beesley.
Plot
With the help of Nolan Ross (Gabriel Mann), her new ally, Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) sets her sights on federal prosecutor Tom Kingsley (Yancey Arias), now a state senator, who helped put her father (James Tupper) behind bars. Meanwhile, Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) learns more about Emily, and her suspicions increase. Also, Daniel (Josh Bowman) finds he cannot resist Emily and they go on another date, which doesn't go as planned when he's confronted by the brother of his ex-girlfriend who was involved in his car accident.
Victoria flashes back to when she was in love with David Clarke (Tupper) and saw that he would certainly be convicted. She had told Kingsley she had evidence exonerating him, which Kingsley ignored when Conrad (Henry Czerny) offered to support his political ambitions. In the present, during dinner with Victoria and Conrad and his wife and a staffer, Kingsley receives two video e-mails showing him with his now-former mistress Erin (Kim Swennen), whom he had given money for an abortion. At a fundraiser thrown by Victoria for him, still-pregnant Erin appears, smiling happily; and the political speech on his computer tablet has become an announcement of his retirement from public life.
It is later revealed that Emily released the videos of Kingsley and Erin together. When Nolan asks why, she says, "I didn't want to just destroy his career. I wanted to destroy his life."
