If you’re up for a laugh, take a look at Huffington Post’s mashup of “death stares” from the Revenge leading ladies, Emily Thorne and Victoria Grayson. It’s mere hours now until the Revenge season 2 premiere.

The two stars of Revenge are known for their ability to manipulate and control the people in their lives, often working with ulterior motives and questionable morals. Staring contests are common practice when you’re plotting to destroy someone’s life.

In a recent video, the Huffington Post takes the best looks from season 1 and puts them together to showcase the ladies’ serious sides. Never far from a scandal or a cover-up, Emily and Victoria are perpetually plotting.

The tension first began between the two when Emily shows up for the summer in the Hamptons, outbids Victoria for the beach cottage that used to belong to David Clarke, and starts dating Victoria’s son, Daniel.

Victoria has been suspicious of Emily from the first time she stepped foot on the privileged Hamptons soil and entered her elite social circle. Emily’s mysterious, sudden interest in all of Victoria’s charities and social events sent up a red flag on Victoria’s radar.

Well, it’s not like those suspicions are completely unfounded, but Victoria doesn’t quite know that yet.

And now since Victoria is “dead” (because come on, we can’t have Revenge without the queen bee Victoria Grayson), we aren’t entirely sure we’ll get to see anymore of these epic staredowns. But we will. We have to.

Emily and Victoria still have so much to settle.

But until we find out the truth of what is to come, enjoy these clips of Victoria and Emily’s tenuous past.
