Sunday’s season premiere of Revenge gave us a hint at what was to come when we saw the Amanda at the bottom of the ocean. Then we flashed back three months. But who was on the sunken ship, and how did it end up there? Mike Kelley gives us a few Revenge spoilers.

Much like the first season’s pilot episode, we got a sneak peek into the future in the season 2 premiere as well. In season 1 we saw Jack dragging a dead body on the beach, and we all assumed it had to be Daniel, and that he was murdered at the “Fire and Ice” engagement party for him and Emily.

Then it turned out to be Tyler, Daniel’s psychotic college friend; it was just meant to look like Daniel. Sneaky job, Mike Kelley.

For the season 2 premiere, we started things off with a shot of the ocean floor, complete with a boat lying sunken, broken, and abandoned. As the camera pans over the wreckage, we discover this downed ship is Jack’s boat, the Amanda.

There is a helicopter with a searchlight over the water, looking for survivors, and then we cut to a figure in a wetsuit (who we find out to be Emily) surveying the flotsam. In this sweep she finds a photo of Jack, Declan, and their dad, along with Jack’s compass that Emily gave him early in the first season.

All the while, Emily is giving us her signature voiceover:

“Destiny: To believe that a life is meant for a single purpose, one must also believe in a common fate.”

The text on screen also tells us where and when this is happening:

Labor Day, Block Island Sound, RI

What are they doing in Rhode Island? How did Jack’s boat end up there?

Then we see the most disturbing piece of the wreckage: a man’s detached arm, floating in the water. The arm’s hand is wearing a wedding band, but other than that, we don’t have any clues as to who its owner is.

Creator Mike Kelley gives a few Revenge spoilers on this scene in an interview with TV Guide:

“‘It’s a man and it’s someone you know,’ he says with an evil laugh – seriously – before noting that we’ll learn whose arm it is in Episode 14. Kelley also addressed his statements from February that the Season 2 flash-forward would involve a wedding: ‘No one’s saying there’s not a wedding that night. I just didn’t show that part. There is at least one wedding and probably two by the time we get to the boat wreck.’”

Well we now know that there may be a couple of weddings coming up in season 2. Whose arm do you think it is? Does this dismembered arm mean that its person is necessarily dead?
