Revenge Season 4 Spoilers: Ben Asks Emily Out in New Promo Clip

Revenge is in the midst of Season 4, and there have been numerous developments in the world of Emily Thorne so far this year. Her father, David Clarke, is back from the presumed dead, and Victoria Grayson has her claws hooked deeply into her former lover's brain. In the midst of all this, police officer Ben has had his eye on Emily, and now it looks like he's trying to take things a step further.

TVLine has posted an exclusive clip from this Sunday's episode in which Ben officially asks Emily out on a date. But all is not as it seems, as she has someone tied up in her house. She tries to hurry Ben out the door, which oddly works out in the poor guy's favor. Some previously released photos from the episode seem to show that Emily accepts his offer.

In related news, a new threat is coming to the Hamptons on Revenge, as Sons of Anarchy actor Tommy Flanagan has joined the cast in a major recurring role in Season 4.

TVLine first exclusively reported that the actor, whose seven-year run on the FX series ends next month with the series finale, had joined the Sunday night series in a villainous role. Flanagan will play "the powerful and dangerous Malcolm Black, a high-functioning psychopath with a long memory for those who have crossed him. Self-made, cold and calculating, he is relentless when it comes to protecting both his family and his fortune."

The actor will debut in Episode 11, the midseason premiere in early 2015. The episode does not have a specific airdate yet.
