The biggest news involving Scandal during the off-season was in
fact a real life scandal. Columbus Short who played Harrison was
arrested for domestic violence and subsequently fired from the
show. But if you ask him, he will say that he walked away from
the series and was not fired. Regardless of him quitting or not,
he was not coming back. So, it was a guessing game as to how
they would write this into the Season Premiere when addressing
this. I for one thought it would be something small, something
in passing, much like how they got rid of Henry Ian Cusick's
character from Season 1. I couldn't have been further off the
mark. Killing off Harrison was a major plot point and his
funeral was actually used as the catalyst of bring back the
gang, who had been scattered in the wind in the events at the
end of Season 3. So, I will give them props in the writing
department for that and for not going the easy route.

Best part about this one was Mellie. She is the most interesting
character on the show right now because she is always
unpredictable. Her mourning in the public eye and how she
chooses to deal with the negativity made for a couple of great
scenes. As for the rest of the episode.....fairly predictable.
I'm sick of the whole will they/won't they story regarding
Olivia and the Prez. It's over and done with. Move on. On the
other hand, it's still anyone'e guess if Huck and Quinn get back
together or torture each other. Cyrus looks ridiculous with his
toupee. Get rid of it already.

An okay episode that is more of the same. Not much to say other
than I did like the last scene between Jake and Olivia's father
about the fact that he has proof that he was behind the murder
of the Presidents son as well as the murder of Harrison. This
pretty much seals Jake's fate with his 'blackmail' threat. I
can't see Rowan suddenly becoming sloppy and getting taken out
by Jake. We shall see.........

After the past couple of episodes, I was growing concerned that
the show had lost its mojo. But after this episode, we finally
get an episode worthy of the name Scandal. One of the best
episodes ever for the series and it was f*cking juicy from start
to finish. Not sure what my favorite scene was. There are 3 to
choose from. There is the scene between the President and the
First Lady wherein he reads her the riot act about her
"parenting" skills that cuts to the bone. There is the scene
between Olivia and the Parents that are blackmailing the
President to the tune of $2.5 million to keep them from
releasing his daughters sex tape. Watching Olivia go from 0-60
in the blink of an eye was f*cking awesome. Seeing her tear the
parents up was great. But the final scene between Rowan and
Agent Tom was probably the crowning moment when he interrogates
Tom with veiled threats that he got him to lay the blame on Jake
as the man that ordered the assassination of the Presidents son.
The demise of Scandal was greatly exaggerated. Welcome back!!
Bonus points for Quinn's "interrogation" method when confronting
one of the boys that made the sex tape.

Nice followup to last weeks epic episode. I did enjoy Jake
basically running his own interrogation with the man that was
put in charge of him. He never stood a chance of succeeding in
breaking Jake. But I do think the idea of the President coming
down and beating him to a bloody pulp to get a confession out of
him was a bit laughable for a couple of reasons. One, you can't
break Jake and two, if you're gonna use muscle to break up, do
it with someone that actually weighs more than a buck fifty. So,
it looks like Abby and Liv have made up. Kinda. I thought it was
great that she went to Liv's to call her all sorts of names and
ends up comforting her when she revealed that Jake had a hand in
killing Harrison and the Presidents son. It was great seeing
Jasika Nicole returning as Huck's estranged wife. I love me some
Jasika any and all times.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Joe Morton is the
REAL star of Scandal. In the first two seasons, it was
definitely Kerry Washington carrying the show. But ever since
Joe's character Rowan has risen to greater heights, it's been a
"what will he do next" guessing game. Two more great scenes for
Rowan opposite President Fitz as he played him like a fiddle and
opposite Jake. Jake is never one to be speechless and certainly
not scared. But as Rowan laid down the law of what he planned to
do with him showed a man with fear on his face. Give Joe an Emmy
nomination for this season. The 'Lone Assassin' plot of the
previous President was predictable. I saw it coming the moment
he begged Olivia to "find the truth". I knew he was playing her
just so that he could get his name right next to John Wilkes
Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald. Another Huck moment. I thought it
was very out of character and odd that Huck was suddenly playing
video games when he should be working. The fact that he was VERY
invested in the game was what was throwing me off. But the
reveal at the end was totally worth it when we finally see that
he was playing with his Son online as a way to bond with him.
Very cool.

Best part about this one was the revelation that Olivia
orchestrated the "assassination" of Secret Service Agent Tom,
just to bluff him into think that Rowan, her father was the one
behind the hit. Worked like a charm as he couldn't fast enough
it exonerating Jake. Also liked seeing Huck's son tracking him
down at work and telling him he knows he is his father. Abby's
meltdown was pretty intense.

A few standout moments in this one. Huck kills a man while on
the job, but the horror is realizing that his Son just watched
him do it. Father of the Year!!! Mellie finally gets hers and
shacks up with her long lost love.....The Vice President. I
immediately began thinking of what it was going to be like when
she rubbed it in Fitz's face. Tit for tat if you will. But it
turns out that the VP is banging Elizabeth North. Did not see
that coming. But the best was the last and that was Rowan. Even
though I knew HE knew that Olivia was setting him up, it was
still great seeing him turn the tables on her. So, who is the
mole that stole the files and tipped him off? Who knows.

Pretty good mid-season finale that has all but guaranteed that
fans will return to see what the f*ck just happened. The
cliffhanger was that Olivia was kidnapped and it's implied (by
way of editing) that the Vice President is behind this. I'm sure
it is him because of all the evidence pointing at him: the
staged "terrorist" car bombing he orchestrated in order to get
the Prez to declare war and the surveillance photos of Oilvia.
So yeah, he definitely kidnapped her and will use her to
blackmail the Prez to get what he wants. Best scene of the
episode once again goes to Joe Morton. He monologue was eletric
and testing Olivia's "loyalty" was electrifying to say the
least.
