Sorry for the delay, gladiators! I’m sort of all over the place these days and focus is not my long suit at the moment. I am dying to talk to you about the return of Scandal though! It seems that everyone has a dirty little secret. If you haven’t read my friends chart, you can read that here.
Let’s start at the end with Andrew Nichols, the current choice for the vice presidential candidate. The gladiators and Olivia all came up with a pretty clean background on him, yet Olivia still has a gut feeling that he is a really bad choice. In the end we find out that his dirty little secret is, Mellie! Mellie is apparently the one who got away over a decade ago. Mellie is the reason for his superficial dating history with models and celebrities. Next week, Olivia finds out and confronts Mellie.
Speaking of Mellie, she really didn’t need another dirty little secret, did she? I mean one would think the whole rapey Father-in-Law secret would be enough for one person. Speaking of that, rumor has it that Mellie and Fitz’s children will be seen and heard from very soon. Will Fitz find out that his eldest son is really his half-brother?
While this episode did not have nearly enough Huck, we do find out some new information on Harrison. I actually had to do a little research on this one, because the Harrison drama keeps being teased and then forgotten about when other storylines take over. It appears that Harrison and Adnan Salif were busted for insider trading prior to Olivia saving him. Olivia got him off on a very light sentence but Salif had to serve serious time. Harrison has freaked out every time Salif is mentioned. Why, now that Salif is free, does Harrison feels the need to borrow a gun from Abby? Why would a gladiator not have his own gun? Why would Abby assume he doesn’t know how to use one? Why does Salif need major strings pulled by Cyrus Beene to get a visa to allow her back in the country? What does Salif have that Cyrus wants? Why does it take approximately ten seconds for Harrison to change courses from killing her to screwing her? I have no idea.
You know what else I have no idea about? Rowan and Fitz are trying to kill each other. And I have no idea who the good guy is. I want there to be a good guy. There is a good guy right? Both Rowan and Fitz have tons of dirty little secrets they keep from Olivia. For one, Olivia doesn’t know that Rowan and Leo Bergen are working together against Fitz.
Cyrus Beene seems to have too many battles going on at once. He is so busy putting out fires and covering up murders that he doesn’t realize he is sleeping with his biggest enemy. James knows Cyrus’s dirtiest little secrets and is hellbent on destroying his husband. James knows where the bodies are buried and has a bugging device in Cyrus’s office. Will James use what he knows to bring Cyrus to, um…. his knees, so to speak? Does James really have it in him to follow through with what he is plotting?
So far Cyrus, Mellie and Olivia are keeping a dirty little secret from Fitz. No one has bothered to share with him that his current vice president has killed her husband. Or that his Chief of Staff covered up the murder. Is that what makes him explode next week?
Next week, a dirty little secret threatens to bring down the Republic! But, which one is it?
I think Harrison was calling Cyrus to try and stop Adnan Salif from entering the country.
Yeah he did try that before. But Cyrus is the one who was giving the visa. I don’t know why but Cyrus and Harrison are on opposite sides on this. Cyrus just let her into the country…

Who knows. Most times Cyrus is up to his neck in schemes its hard to keep track. I am sure that in the next few episodes they will let us know. I sometimes just scratch my head and think what the hell is going on? LOL! But I will never stop watching. I love this show.
Ahhhhh…thanks T ! I needed that.
Thanks TT for researching the whole Harrison situation, the mystery is intriguing! I wonder how the recordings of Sally and Cyrus will play out against them. And Mellie, you gotta love how calculated she is! Something tells me she’s gonna find a way to use Andrew against Fitz or perhaps to get back at him for Olivia. Frankly I’m just waiting for James to get taken out because he got it coming and its gonna get crazy when the shit hits the fan!
Yes, Cyrus has way to many battles going on. Waiting for his brain to explode.
Scandal was a good one with Rowan being as scary as ever. I would and hide from that man if he was mad at me or just give up. Either one would have the same outcome.
So the new VP was in love with Mellie, did not see that coming. Now we will see if Mellie honors her vows in the manner she expected her husband to do.
I missed Huck too.
I just want to know if we’ll ever get Harrison’s backstory. We’ve had everyone else’s. We’ll probable get Andrew Nichols’ before we get Harrison’s. 🙁
TT you mentioned if Fitz will find out if his oldest child is his half brother. I wonder if he will find out that (maybe) his youngest child belongs to Andrew Nichols? Or is the timing off?
Oliva isn’t keeping the murder from Fitz. She doesn’t know that Sally killed him and Cyrus and Mellie are covering it up. That is why Huck and Abby went to the ME’s house to try to blackmail her. Quinn was there hiding with Charlie and has now started kidnapping children….
I cannot wait to see Rowan back on top. He brings the heat to the show. Quinn is going to turn and give up the information that she finds to Huck. She’s missing the other gladiators. Mustang Sally will go down in flames and Cyrus will duck being found out as usual.
