Spoiler Alert: Do not read the following article if you've yet to watch Revenge's season finale tonight. Seriously, you've been warned, so don't be that guy who complains about spoilers in the comments because everyone hates that guy!

Another season has come to an end in the Hamptons. And so has another life!

Revenge closed out its uneven second season with a pretty stellar finale that answered many of fans' burning questions and set the stage for season three, which showrunner Mike Kelley will not be returning for.

Not only was there a huge death, someone who's been with the ABC soap since the pilot, but there was also a major confession that could change the course of Emily's (Emily VanCamp) revenge mission, and the series, forever...

Rest in Peace: Poor Declan (Connor Paolo) was in Grayson Global looking for Charlotte (Christa B. Allen) when Conrad (Henry Czerny) decided to blow up the building, leading to Jack's (Nick Wechsler) younger bro's demise from injuries sustained in the blast. Dec was able to record a goodbye message to Jack on his cell phone before passing and if you didn't tear up, we're pretty sure you are a robot. Here's hoping there's a bar in heaven that's looking to hire an underage barkeep with an undeterminable accent and vast knowledge of wine ("Red or white, Mrs. G?!" Never forget.)

Coming Clean: But the big death wasn't the finale's best shocker: The final scene of the intense outing had Emily finally telling Jack, who was about to kill Conrad and Daniel (Josh Bowman), that she's the real Amanda Clarke. And fade to black! Gah!

The Initiative Revealed: Our biggest complaint about season two had to be the big mysterious corporation that was behind every bad that has ever happened in the world (or at least the Hamptons). So you can imagine our delight when it was revealed that Conrad was actually the Initiative the whole time! Or at least he's claiming so, saying, ""There is no initiative."  Well played, show. (Though we wish this reveal would have happened, say, nine episodes ago, but we'll take it!) But also: Way to win worst human being to ever exist award, Conrad!

Do Prisons Let You Rock a Popped Collar, a Memoir: Everyone's favorite sidekick Nolan (Gabriel Mann) found himself arrested by the FBI and accused of being a terrorist, thanks to a little video Padma (Dilshad Vadsaria) recorded. Ugh, even from beyond the grave she is still the worst. And yes, we're already starting to design polos with "Free Nolan Ross" printed on them!

Double-O Dead?: Is Emily's hot British beau (Barry Sloane) dead? Did Daniel murder him? Season three will tell...

Hello Stranger: As for Victoria's (Madeleine Stowe) long-lost son, Patrick? Not so lost anymore as he made an appearance (albeit we didn't see his face)! Dream cast the role in the comments, people!

What did you think of Revenge's season finale? How do you think Jack will react to Emily's confession? Sound off in the comments!
