We're just hours away from saying goodbye to one of TV's twistiest, nuttiest shows, and we're slowly realizing that we are just not ready. Victoria's not dead anymore, meaning that she and Emily/Amanda could have years of face-offs ahead of them, and we could have years of rolling our eyes while secretly reveling in the glorious nonsense.

Unfortunately, if we want to move on with our lives, we've got to face the facts that Revenge is leaving us for good after four wild seasons. We can't think of a better way to say goodbye than by revisiting a few of the show's more insane moments, from secret family connections to miraculous recoveries to pretty much anything you can imagine.

12. The one that started it all: Emily poisoning Conrad's soup
This one doesn't seem so insane now, but this was the twist that sold us on the show. Until this reveal, it was just a way-too-sudsy pilot for a soap opera we were never planning to watch again, if it even managed to stick around for very long. Now here we are, four seasons later, bowing down to Queen Emily (most of the time) and her sneaky genius ways. 

ABC

11. Lydia Takes a Fall
Finding out any part of the truth about Emily is just a bad idea for anyone involved, and this was one of the first times we really saw that, when Victoria's lackey Frank ended up pushing Conrad's mistress off of a rooftop. She fell five stories and landed on a car, but she was totally fine minus a little convenient memory loss and a short coma.

10. The body on the beach…is Tyler?!
When we finally got back to where the pilot began, we didn't yet know what to expect. We had spent most of the season hating Tyler and thinking it was Daniel about to die on the beach, so it was kind of a pleasant surprise when Victoria turned over the body and it was actually Tyler.

9. Victoria Wakes Up in a Mental Hospital
Emily really stuck it to ‘ole Vicky Grayson with this one. After Victoria killed Aiden (and left us all in mourning for the rest of time), Emily had her former mother-in-law committed, and that reveal with Victoria waking up in the hospital was pretty genius.

ABC

8. Emily Gets Shot, and Amnesia
Season three's premiere flash-forward found Emily getting shot on her wedding day, in her wedding dress, and falling into the ocean. Obviously the star of the show wasn't going to die, so she just ended up in the hospital without her memory for a day or two.

7. Family Connections
So many family-related moments on this show that we just decided to clump them all into one: Emily discovering that her dad was hooking up with Victoria, the revelation that Charlotte is David's daughter, the fact that Emily's mother is still alive, the introduction of Victoria's secret son, the fact that Conrad's ex-wife is Jack's real mother... This family tree may only be rivaled by the one on Once Upon a Time where the grown daughter of a 30 year-old Snow White and Prince Charming had a kid with the son of Rumplestiltskin and the grandson of Peter Pan.

6. Declan Speaks
Our team member from Long Island confirms what we always suspected: That is not how real Long Islanders speak. That is not how anyone speaks. RIP the worst accent ever.

5. Daniel Grayson's Death
Now this one was sad: Not only was Daniel about to become a father, but he had just started to patch things up with Emily and then died while trying to protect her. We didn't see it coming, and really didn't want to accept the fact that he was actually dead until it was incredibly clear that he was.

4. Conrad Kills Pascal
"I want what I've always wanted...to win at any cost." Conrad wasn't kidding when he said this, right before throwing Pascal into the propellers of a helicopter, and right before we had to not eat again for a few hours. Or days.

3. Victoria's Dead…Just Kidding!
When Grayson manor exploded, apparently taking Victoria herself along with it, we kind of ignored it because like, obviously she's not dead. The next couple of weeks made it really seem like she was actually dead, with Stowe doing a whole round of interviews and everything. Then, as it turned out, Victoria was alive and well and hiding out with Courtney Love. You got us good, Revenge. You got us good. And we're only a little bit mad about it. 

ABC

2. David Clarke is Alive!
We learned that Emily's dad—whose death was the entire reason for this whole revenge quest—was alive when he helped Conrad escape prison only to then immediately murder him. That "I KNEW IT!" was a long time coming.

1. Amanda Takes a Tumble
Sure, she ended up in a coma for a minute and had to deliver baby Carl a bit early, but that's a small price to pay for falling over a banister, hitting her head on the way down, and landing in a pool of her own blood. At the same time, Aiden was tied up in a cabin somewhere, being held captive by Emily's mom, and Ashley was bein' sneaky with both Grayson men, but we've never been able to get over that ridiculous fall.

And the insanity isn't over! The series finale, in which we've been assured at least two people will die, airs tonight at 10 p.m. on ABC.
