Oh, it’s been 6
months. Since we’ve last seen everyone…let’s see. Mellie was the first lady,
and then she wasn’t. Olivia was with Fitz, and then she wasn’t. Olivia was also
preggers then she wasn’t. She moved into the White House, then…she left it. Olivia
had the power. Then she didn’t. Jake was out to take down Command, then he
doesn’t. What is happening?
Based on the
previews, the white hat is off!
Olivia is having
dinner with Papa Pope. Guess they mended fences when Fitz left the picture. He
tells her “You had the oval. You had the power.” She says “He tried to make me
into a first lady.”
They keep talking
and he tells her “Jake has come home. So should you.” I guess you know who Papa
Pope prefers for his little girl.
Sally Langston – back and bitchy again. Powerless means impotent. And who wants to be impotent. She’s off on another one of her rants, talking about how no one is emerging unscathed.
JAKE! Sorry, I’m
always excited when he’s in the room. Actually, he was waiting in the hallway
and tells Liv “I don’t like waiting.” She snaps: “Then don’t. Leave.” Standoff.
Bitch face. Eye roll. Open elevator calling his bluff…and she jumps him and
humps him. Angry sex. And Jake goes downtown ladies! Down. Town.
Abby is woken up
by the president. She’s trying to sleep and he’s running strategies through her
in the middle of the night. She complains later to Cyrus that he’s calling her
24/7 and she’s freaking out about it. She’s tired. Exhausted because Fitz won’t
stop talking to her. He’s broken, needs his batteries replaced. She then
wonders why Cyrus isn’t helping her. He tells her that she’s his new wife. He can’t
function alone, Mellie is gone and although she was great despite her faults,
she’s outie. Olivia is gone. Cyrus is on the outs. Abby’s in. she’s the new
woman in Fitz’s life, and Cyrus is gloating.
Jake goes to visit
Fitz at his request, and Mr. President discloses that the Post has Project
Mercury. He needs someone to shut down the whistle-blower. Jake is wondering
why he doesn’t call Olivia. Jake asks “You don’t talk to her?” Fitz says no.
Asks if Jake talks to her, and Jake pauses, and says no. Ahem. Technically,
they didn’t do much talking did they?
Everything points
to the fact that it’s one of her computer programmers that she’s been dating,
Billy. She refuses to believe it’s him….Olivia isn’t so sure. She’s trying to
figure out if he’s a spy or a whistle-blower. Billy is in the wind. Huck
finally gets a ping on his phone and Quinn and Marcus show up at his place.
Except, they find Jake with Billy’s phone.
Jake and Olivia
are fighting over what Billy is doing. Olivia is trying to cover up for her
client, and Jake is trying to help Fitz save the country. Olivia says she’s
protecting her client and her only flaw is falling for the wrong guy. Jake
fires back that Liv knows all about that! Bam. Ouch. NSA woman realizes that
Billy played her…and she’s currently under investigation. She wonders if she’s
going to be fired, and throws put the gender card – stating that if she does
get fired, everyone will say that women are too soft and get played so only men
will be in that position for the next umpteen years.
Abby discovers
that Project Mercury is a spy project, and they have a whistle-blower. Billy
has contacted the Post.
Mellie Grant shows
up and she’s written a book. A statement of her beliefs, hopes, and dirty
laundry. She wants Liv to read it. She does and tells Mellie the book is crap,
and tells her what she really needs to write. Mellie enlists her help to write
it.
Abby shows up with
a bottle of scotch to hang with her gal pal. Leo wants Abby to quit her job. He
took a campaign in Texas, saying that they never see each other anyway. Abby is
complaining that she’s the work wife, and she’s tired. She’s not sorry for the
rich, powerful, handsome leader who got his heart broken. He’s waking her up.
Olivia says Fitz doesn’t have any one. She was the last person she had, but now
she’s gone and Abby is all that is left. She eventually gets fed up with him
and goes off telling him she’s not everything and can’t know it all.
Olivia also won’t
call him to ask for a favor on behalf of her client. Abby calls her on the
bullshit. Saying that she doesn’t want him to pick up the phone, because she’s
terrified. Olivia knows she’s being a baby, and can’t take her own advice to
just suck it up and call him. She ends up calling. Fitz is shocked, but doesn’t
take her call.
Quinn and Charlie
are having some pillow talk about Billy the Whistle-Blower. He says the dude
has some serious game for completely dropping off the radar. Quinn and Charlie
bounce ideas off each other and she figures out a way to find them.
Quinn discovers
that it wasn’t Billy. She finds that the scrambler used couldn’t change the
rhythm and cadence of Billy. They don’t know who it is, but someone is trying
to set up Billy.
Fitz places the head of security in the hands of Jake! OMG.
Jacob. Hamilton.
Ballard.
JAKE. You dirty
double agent. What the hell are you up to? Is this your scheming? Papa
Pope’s
grand plan? Certainly a power play.
Olivia discovers
that Jake was at the house where Billy’s phone was found because he was there
to kill Billy. Heh Heh. Kill Bill.
Olivia goes to
Papa’s house to find out what the hell. Confronts Jake with the Olivia fast
talk, Jake and Papa Pope tell her that she can either throw a temper tantrum
like a 14-year old or step up and grab some 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue power.
Huck is being
really mean to the new guy Marcus, and Quinn calls him on his shit. Huck gets
all deep and says “we have to protect him. We can’t let him be friends with us.”
Hidden meaning: their souls are twisted and evil and Marcus is still a good guy…so
they can’t bring him into the inner circle of darkness.
What's going on with Jacob Hamilton Ballard? and Papa Pope?
