After months of anticipation, Revenge fans will finally go inside the courtroom for the trial of Daniel Grayson (Josh Bowman) -- where Connor Paolos character Declan Porter will take the stand as one of the key witnesses in the murder of Tyler Barrol (Ashton Holmes).
Someones gotta go under the bus, Paolo told The Hollywood Reporter during a recent visit to the THR Cover Lounge. He has to decide whether its going to be his brother, his girlfriend or her brother. No matter what he does, whether he keeps silent, whether he speaks up, and regardless of what he says, someones going down.
Declan is one of the few witnesses to the beachfront murder at Daniel and Emilys (Emily VanCamp) engagement party, and while he didnt see the gunshots that killed Tyler, he did scope out a mysterious hooded figure near the body. As the only sober witness on the beach that day, Declan was also forced to poke holes in his girlfriend Charlottes (Christa B. Allen) statements, which pinned the blame on his own brother, Jack (Nick Wechsler).

It does fall within his hands to choose kind of when and how and who [is blamed], which is a massive responsibility, Paolo said. But someones gonna have their life destroyed.
With five episodes left in the soapy dramas freshman season, Paolo promised that fans can expect closure from the trial.
Theres closure, and then theres disappointment, and then theres satisfaction, he explained. Regardless of what you want, yeah, theres a resolution. Its not what youd expect it to be.
Its the Graysons, he continued. What they want gets done. I mean, maybe not in the prettiest package or the cleanest way possible -- they do have to go somewhat outside the box in terms of their thinking.
Viewers can also expect to see more of Amanda Clarke (Margarita Levieva), who is one of the few keepers of Emilys secret identity. Though she disappeared the night of the murder, Amanda will definitely be returning to (hopefully) shed light on the situation.

Wed stage protests if she didnt [return], Paolo said. I mean look, she left mysteriously in a car with Takeda, with the Japanese godfather, so to not have her return after spending a little time with the dude with the rock, I think, would be a serious injustice.

ABC has yet to make any renewal announcements this year, but with decent ratings and a cult-like following, Revenge seems a shoo-in for a second season pickup. Tune in Wednesday at 10 p.m., when the drama is set to begin unfolding in the courtroom.
