My main problem was when the Secret Service turned against the President. That is utterly unheard of - those guys are suppose to be willing to take a bullet for the President. Okay, he can't trust the secret service, so what about the Joint Chiefs. He couldn't tell any one of those generals what was going on? All…

The show has said time and time again that Olivia is more than a mistress. Fitz told his wife to her face that he was in love with Olivia. Cyrus has said that Fitz calls Olivia the love of his life. The writers have made it clear that Olivia is much more than a Mistress. With that said, I still don't think Fitz…

He sounded kinda creepy to me.

She could always divorce him.

Neither, because nothing about Scandal is Logical so why should Fitz and Olivia be? C'mon, Mommys a terrorist and Daddy heads a super spy organization - wanna be boyfriend is a trained assassin who kills the father of Olivia's God Child, and yet she still sleeps with ths guy and acts like nothing has happened (what…

I'm an NYC girl (brooklyn), and I've never been to Vermont. Being from Brooklyn, any good looking house, surrounding by grass and horses, in th country looks like Vermont to me (lol).

LOL - you're funny

So, do you believe that the VP was never in love with Mellie? During flashbacks of Mellie taking an overdose of sleeping pills it was the VP who saved her. Also, he was the one Mellie told about her fear of Jerry's paternity. I just thought that they "changed" his character - you know scandal has a bad habit of doing…

How did you miss it? It was the big scene at the end of the winter finale.

Some points you make I totally agree. But it works both ways. There is alot of fantasies happeining in scandal, like Jake's fantasy of "Standing in the Sun" or Mellie's fantasy that her and Fitz and be partners again. There are alot of fantasies in Scandal, where everyone hopes for something.
Like you said the…

Here's another one. Why didn't her super spy sometimes boyfriend ask the neighbors if they had seen anything? The first thing the police department does is canvas the building asking people did they hear or see anything. Also, when he heard the thump on the apartment door, why didn't he at least check it out.

Even though I loved Kerry Washington in this episode, my fear is that where does her character go from here? After all she has been through (and will go through as a hostage), how can she just go back to solving cases? Also, OP is just a shell of itself (yes, I miss Harrison), which is why (my thoughts only), that…

Slowly claps

Why should they stop seeing each other? What would be logical about that?

Why would you want anyone to keep it real during a "wet dream"? I mean if we can't enjoy our wet dreams, what can we enjoy? lol. I hated Abby for this. When Jake was getting pummeled by Fitz, he held up by thinking about his time on the Island with Olivia. Sometimes, your mind needs to relax and go into the…

That's what gets me. Why did the VP make such a drastic change? Is he upset about his treatment from Fitz in regards to Mellie? To me, it seems as if he was using Mellie all along.

I have read some theories that the old friend is Stephen from the 1st season. But Steven is not an old friend of Jake and he didn't have any interaction with Huck and Quinn, but he was Olivia's closet "friend". He knew everything about Olivia, including her affair with the President. But, Stephen went to be a…

We do know who kidnapped her, at least we know who is behind the kidnapping - the VP. The kidnapping was set up so President Grant can declare war in Angola. The VP made this clear to Fitz in he said "who is the one person you can't leave without, and then Olivia was kidnapped.

I agree that this was some of the best acting by Kerry Washington in a while. I was so happy that this episode was "Olivia centered" because I am such a huge Kerry Washington fan and believe she has great acting chops - and this episode proved it. Like you, one of my favorite scene when Olivia saw the sealed window…

Totally agree. I think Kerry Washington knocked it out of the park and I enjoyed Scandal getting back to focusing on the "lead" of the show.
