It is near impossible to recap this show, so tonight I just did a bunch of jaw dropping quotes… But OMG! That ending! We got Papa Pope half dead and Cyrus planning to let Sally Langston, Leo, and all the people attending the dead senator’s funeral get blown the fuck up! And did Eli kill Olivia’s REAL father? Will the DNA test results still happen if Papa Pope dies? I’m on the edge of my seat! I cannot wait a week for next week! Speaking of DNA testing, did they give Mellie the fake DNA tests or the real ones?
I love the creepy sex scenes with Quinn and Huck. I love me some Huckleberry Quinn.
Somebody hold me!
Here were the best quotes from tonight!
All these years of thinking B316 is untouchable and all it takes to kill us is a good quick tug on a zipper. ~ Jake
He will reel you in with a trail of warmth and kindness and hold you in his arms and tell you he loves you and once you are comfortable, once you feel safe he will take everything that matters from you and he will leave you with nothing. He will break your bones and step over your body his way out. Do you know how I know that? Because that is what he taught me to do. ~Jake to Olivia about her father.
You think he is your dad but that is just a part he is playing, a costume he puts on, a mask, Liv once his mask comes off ? Run. ~Jake to Olivia about her father.
I’m telling you, I’m black. Sally doesn’t have the NAACP. ~Olivia to Fitxz
Papa Pope, that’s okay right? I can call you Papa Pope? ~Harrison to Papa Pope
I need you to score some presidential DNA isn’t there a secret stash of POTUS blood in some White House vault? And before you start whining, you might note that I am standing here with a bag full of little Jerry’s man chowder. ~Leo to Papa Pope
I want his head in the fire and I want to see him burn! I want to hand him the one piece of news that will destroy him and I want to watch his face when it happens. I have kept this secret for 15 years! I have lost my life for 15 years! I have lived this lie for 15 years! And all the while I have watched him walk away from me. I have been destroyed, while I have made him president. IT IS MY TURN! I’m tired of carrying the cross. Let him pick it up now. Big Jerry isn’t something I want to be nailed to anymore. ~Mellie to Olivia
Dominic Bell is the only man your mother ever loved. ~Papa Pope to Olivia
It must kill you Eli.. to keep hoping…thinking…if I cared about him maybe at some point I cared about you. ~Mama Pope to Papa Pope about Dominic Bell right before Eli shoots Dominic in the head.
Trust me on this. Your mother will not kill the president if it means killing you too! ~Papa Pope to Baby Pope.
OMG HOW MUCH LONGER!
Huckleberry Quinn. That alone makes this blog worthwhile.
OMG OMG OMG!
Scandal keeps getting better and better, tonight was an old type cliff hanger.
“Nailed by old Jerry” wow what emotion. Oliva is finally seeing the damage that she caused by her affair with Fritz.
Little Liz finally came into her real self.
I also liked that snarky coffee making remark, so well delivered.
TT, I am so glad you blogged about this!!!! I had bated breath that you would have covered last week. FuckleberryQuinn had had me chomping at the bit for him to start saying “752, 752, 7-52, while mid-coitius” like the time he was lamenting the time his wife and daughter took the metro! (Prior to ‘Liv rescuing him.)
It was an outstanding episode and I so sad that next week is the finale!
Is it just me or does “Scandal” have the shortest seasons ever!!!!! I can’t believe or accept next week is the finale already. Me personally am get annoying me, she’s becoming weaker and weaker. B616 is there for a reason, instead of trying to take them down why not stop letting the married president pull your panties down?? I am dying waiting for Fitz to find out what his father did to Nellie. And for him to realize the trauma his father caused her. Cyrus Cyrus Cyrus. Sometimes you hate him, tonight I loved him. He’s badass! I love me some Jake, I wish dumbass Olivia would get it thru her head he loves her too. Fitz has dirtied his hands as much as Jake, yet Jake is the monster.
This season is short because of Kerry Washington’s pregnancy. Season 2 had 22 episodes. The first season was short due to determine if it will be a successful show, as the studio may opt not to order more episodes.
Hmmm B613….Short season due to” real life” pregnancy… what his father did to “Mellie”? Sorry was a little confused.
It will be interesting to see the fallout from this secret finally being revealed, and Oh my “FuckleberryQuinn” been waiting for this moment forever.
ALL of the characters are flawed which is why this is such an awesome show..TT thank you for recapping.
Per your twitter advice i’m going to come on over but baby steps..
forever a fan wherever you are…Resa
OMG that angry sex scene in the parking garage w/ the spitting & licking was kinda hot! I’m no prude but wow that showed that on prime time?
Nothing like a quick, angry schtoop on the hood of a car.
like make up sex, I love it.
Anyone else get the vibe that Cyrus is the new head of B-613? Jake calling him in the end and Cyrus congratulating him like a little puppy made me think this. Not to mention Cyrus choosing to let all those people die just so he can get rid of Sally! Can’t wait for next week!!!
No he’s not the head of B613 b/c it doesn’t exist right now. Jake is technically still command. I ‘m pissed Liv did that I wonder how they are going to reinstate B613 or if they can. Jake just told him the info b/c he is the president’s chief of staff so of course call the person that is closest to the president to warn them to keep the POTUS safe. Cyrus is just a goon and he realizes that he will be getting rid of several problems by letting Sally, Leo and Andrew get blown up which leads Fitz straight to the presidency. However I’m sure Fitz will be pissed when he finds out Cyrus knew b/c Fitz wants to win the election legitimately not by default or election rigging.
Huck and Quinn make me throw up. I hope Mellie finally tells Fitz and if Andrew dies I’m pretty sure she might make another suicide attempt. I never thought about Dominic being Liv’s real dad but that story about her seeing him in the park with Maya when she was 5 hmmm. I hope Poppa Pope Lives and I hope he got a couple licks in too cause damn Maya fked him up did he even pinch her lol?!
I love Cyrus. He was so cool about the VP possibly being blown up. Loved it!!!
All these years of thinking B316 is untouchable and all it takes to kill us is a good quick tug on a zipper. ~ Jake
See, I thought he said, “All these years of thinking B~613 is untouchable and all it takes to kill us is a good quick tongue on a zipper.” ~ Jake
Then again to my defense, I was scarfing down Kozy Shack pudding while trying to concentrate. 🙂
From what I could tell, they had two paternity test results…the fake one that Abby “handled” that will be released to the public to combat Leo’s claim and the second actual one that Olivia “handled” for Mellie that she was holding at the end. Thinking that that one will show that Papa Jerry is the babydaddy. #WhoaMellie!
I thought so too
I am a sick person because I was laughing so hard when I realized what Cyrus was going to do. OMG!
The best episode this season. Especially loved the music.
I hope Papa Pope doesn’t die.
Cyrus is so evil.
Huch had me drooling down my chin.
oops *Huck*
Tonight’s episode was sooooo good! but KW’s pregnancy was so obvious, even with all the camera tricks. what i was trying to figure out was how did they get Fitz’s dna from fitz? or rather when? And poor little whatever her name was (little jerry’s fake girlfriend-sperm stealer)…now that Leo blows up, how will she get into Harvard/Yale?
See I don’t notice KW’s pregnancy at all! I am too into the story!

Smiling Cyrus was so good, I loved how he walked around with his smile getting larger. He was the most relaxed he has been in ages. Yes, creepy.
I’m confused about the whole fake DNA situation- did Abby take a sample of dead Dominic’s hair and then pay someone to pretend it was Fitz’s? But then if they actually used Dominic’s hair to do the test, it would show that little Jerry isn’t Fitz’s son… so I’m guessing she paid that guy just to lie and say the DNA matched and Jerry is Fitz’s? Why was there a need for fake hair (or any hair) at all?? So confused… maybe I missed something in there…
Sally was working with Eli to prove that Firz’s son isn’t his. To make sure of the negative results, the used hair from Dominic. However, Olivia found out about it and had Abby pay the DNA place to prove that Fitz is the father; she stopped their original plan.
Towards the end of the show Olivia gets a real DNA test done on Fitz&his son for Millie which she will open next week!
I read that first paragraph three times and still can’t make sense of it. Why would they need to use Dominic’s hair to prove Fitz is not the father? Why didn’t they just use Fitz’s DNA? I got the feeling that Eli wanted Dominic’s DNA for personal reasons to find out if he is Olivia’s father. Clearly, I am not understanding the whole DNA thing.
From what I observed (after 3 viewings) there are two distinct DNA samples and the scenes bled into one another. I gleaned that Papa Pope (Eli) requested Dominick’s DNA to verify Olivia’s lineage (when he had Abbey grab a hair sample- and we have yet to see the results of) The secondary one was from Sally’s camp and that was the incident where Abbey bribed the testing facility to change the results after Leo Bergen submitted the sample
@Twin Mommy~ Exactly! that was my take on the events. I did not get some of the posts here thinking that one of the tests was for Olivia and Papa Pope. Both were for Mellie’s son. The public one will show that he is Fitz’s son and the second one, I fear will show that he is “Big Jerry’s” son. Not sure who Eli is….do you by chance watch The Good Wife? 🙂
@Twin Mommy~ DUH on me!!! I just had a major brain freeze. I just remember that Papa Pope’s name is Eli. I will blame this on lack of coffee this morning.
I don’t like how they just dismantled B613 overnight! What kind of top level security crap is this? I think it was dismantled because “Jake” isn’t working in that role. He has made head of the group too soft. Sorry this had to be on the chopping block…
Yes…I too believe that the son is actually The President’s brother. WOW! I can’t wait to see what happens after this is revealed to him…or will it be?
Cyrus said in the prior season that you didn’t want to mess with him because he is a monster!! I believed him then and I believe him now!
I can’t wait for the season finale!!
Ewww… the whole Huck-Quinn thing makes me throw up in my mouth a little, every frickin’ time…. SOOOO gross. I’m all for Charlie, the old psycho-softie.
Seriously, Pucklberry Quinn makes me gag each time they have a scene. For real.
