So – season finale.
Big stuff, right? Here’s what happened:
Last week Mellie
met a donor. He was introduced as some rich southern dude and needed her help.
He hands her a file that is “important” to him – only, it’s loaded with
pictures of her and the cheezy VP Andrew. He threatens to out her, and her
husband over Remington and then demands she asks what he wants. Oh, just a
list. A list of names.
Then, it’s on to B613
trial time. The jurors are all there, they listen to Jake testify. Then,
emergency call. All the jurors are on the bus in the parking garage. Dead. David
Rosen isn’t willing to die to bring down Command.
Mellie realizes
what the list was, and what happened to all the jurors and runs to Cyrus. Tells
him what happened, that she was protecting herself and the President, mentions
Remington and Cyrus goes into action. “I’ll take care of it. Don’t tell Fitz.” Out he runs.
Olivia has a
strange visit with Mama Pope who calls her Boo and reminds her that she’s
living in a fantasy world that does not revolve around her. Ouch. Reminds her
that Papa has covered his tracks so well that no one is looking for him, as he
doesn’t really exist. Liv then goes to the head of the CIA (remember her?) with
Jake in tow and rants about B613. Ms. CIA-woman has both Olivia and Jake arrested.
She then runs into Cyrus who basically tells her she can’t do a darn thing
about some top secret agency that may or may not exist.
Then, Rosen and
Cyrus face off, and Cyrus threatens Rosen with Abby, saying he’ll have her
killed. Cyrus makes a deal with Mama Pope that hands her a get out of jail free
card. That's right, Mama Pope is OUT! Rosen then has Olivia and Jake sign a statement retracting their B613
statements, again, holding their loved ones over their heads. Papa Pope cleaned
house of all the documents and agents that could identify him. Seems like Olivia and Jake are defeated…until,
HuckleberryQuinn conversations recall the 2 bazillion dollars that they
smuggled and hid. They use that to frame Papa, and claim that his alter-ego
Anthropologist self has been siphoning off funds from his fancy museum job. So
Command didn’t go down, but the man behind it, in his Clark Kent persona, did
end up in jail.
Mellie wins the
election, happy-happy, celebration, until Lizzy has a chat with Fitz and lets
the whole donor/list thing slip. Fitz
sees who it is, and knows what’s up. When they get back, Mellie is making plans
for her future Presidency and Fitz loses his shit. Tells her she’s cray-cray if
he’s going to let her run the country after what she did – Mellie has her
typical deer-in-the-headlights look, and he kicks her the hell out! OUT! Out of
his house! Out of his life! Then, he lays into Cyrus and kicks him to the curb!
What the WHAT?
Both have been escorted out. Methinks this is not the last we
will see of Cyrus.
Much later, you
see Quinn bust into the office and hold a gun to Huck’s head. HUCKING HUCK!! He
did it! She knew it once she saw the carnage. Huck says he didn’t have a choice
– he was saving his family. She says she should just kill him. He screams “DO
IT!” He’s officially off his meds again.
Finally, in the seemingly
never-ending triangle of Jake-Olivia-Fitz: Jake tells Olivia he did his job. He
kept her safe per Fitz, and Command is in jail. He won’t come in despite her
invitation because while he loves her, she loves him. He tells her to go. She
does. While Fitz was knocking at her door, she was waiting on his balcony. Cue
sappy music. The two are finally together.
Summary: OUT: Mellie, Cyrus, Mama Pope. In: Papa Pope. And Olivia and Fitz. In the bedroom that is...LOL.
Also possibly out: Jake. Huck.
So really – who is
more evil: Papa Pope or Cyrus? I’m not so sure anymore. Cyrus is just
cut-throat. PP isn’t going down this easy, so something will go on there. Then there’s Jake.
JAKE. Where is he going? First, Shonda makes me think he’s dead. Then she
brings him back only to send him away again? Come on!! Give the guy a break! Quinn
has Huck and Charlie (both twisted dudes), Abby has Rosen and Leo (who’s been
absent the last few episodes), and Olivia had Fitz and Jake. Now she’s down to
one dude. Huh? How? Give Jake to somebody. Lizzy? Mellie? No, no smelly Mellie
for Jakey-poo.
He can’t be written out. Normally, season finale’s leave people
dead – but this one did both: left a bunch of one-show characters dead, and “killed”
a few others leaving us all wondering what happens next? Where does the show go
from here? I have no idea….I’m so confused. I have all summer to get over it I
guess.
Other random
thoughts: There was some conversation between Olivia and Fitz on the phone and while
Liv calls VP Susan a national treasure, Fitz calls her a mess and Muppet. My
brain went here…
Off to watch my
new obsession, Salem. How did I not know about this show? It’s pretty darn
good!
