Here are some of the best quotes from last night’s Scandal. And I have some questions about the show at the end. And another I just thought of putting the pictures in. Am I the only one who thinks it was weird that Olivia didn’t get a coffee of her own when she bought one for her father? I don’t know why but that bugged me.
“You assume that because I am a whore, I don’t have a brain, that my friends are whores without brains and all of the brainless whores just wait around until nightfall when we can go whore around, brainlessly”. ~Cyrus’ Whore
“You come back, you re-enter to find the world kept spinning without you. You go to the places you used to go and you see the people you used to see and it’s like something is missing. But really, everything is missing. Somehow everything is different. Everything is…
Olivia: Colder. Everything is colder.” ~random convo with Poppa Pope and Olivia.
“If you were my girlfriend I would go to meet your dad, even the one who tortured me and threw me in the hole, but you are not my girlfriend, so no. Call me later if you want me to do that thing to you.” ~ Jake
“If I don’t get to be a soccer dad in Vermont, then I need all this to have a point.” ~Fitz
“Excuse me, would you mind giving us some privacy? Just a few minutes.” ~ Olivia clears the room of the morgue leaving her alone with a murder victim and the number one suspect. Because that happens. I think it’s the dad. 
“No, I don’t get lonely, because I have people…I’m not like you. I’m sorry you miss me, but I’m not like you.” ~Quinn to Charlie before they make-out and are interrupted by Jake.
“You don’t have a job, Jake. You don’t work anywhere. You don’t fake sell fake paper or fake work at the Pentagon or run a top-secret spy organization. You don’t have a job.” ~Olivia Pope
“Did you two seriously not notice that I have been gone for the last 24 hours? I spent three whole months keeping tabs on this office. I went to see you every day at the computer store. I constantly checked in with Abby at the White House. I found you halfway across the world. I’m the one who made sure this place didn’t die. And I go M.I.A. for a whole day and no one even bats an eye. That is unacceptable. That is how Harrison died. We weren’t vigilant! We didn’t pay attention! We didn’t notice when things went bad! So when one of us goes missing for 24 hours the other ones freaking look for them! “~Quinn to Huck and Olivia
“You’re not here for a drink Cyrus. You’re thirsty, but you’re not here for a drink.” ~Cyrus’ Whore
“You either go home alone and try your own hand at quenching that thirst or go upstairs with me and replace that dry lump in your throat with something much more satisfying.” ~ Cyrus’ Whore
“I’ll look for you. The next time you go M.I.A. I’ll look for you.” ~Huck to Quinn
“Shut up. Just shut your stubborn, old man mouth up. You’re done giving orders. You’re leaving.” ~Jake to Poppa Pope OMG is he trying to get himself killed?
“Or you can stay, keep up this Father Knows Best routine, try to worm your way back into her life by roasting pork. But I personally can’t see her falling for your act anymore after I show her proof that you killed her best friend and the president’s son.” ~ Jake to Poppa Pope. I guess he really is trying to get himself killed.
“Trust me, I will be the one standing over you when you die.”~ Poppa Pope to Jake. See? I told you so!
Is it really Rosen’s nature to blackmail judges ? OOOOH I didn’t even know about the suicide when I typed this. What the hell happened to Rosen’s white hat!
Is Cyrus onto the whore or is he as dumb as he appears to be? Why is the whore getting all the best lines? Oh and his name is Michael. I honestly didn’t know until about half way into the show.
I thought the dad was out of the country? How did he get to the morgue in roughly the same amount of time as Olivia did?
How the hell is Jake so confident that he can get rid of Poppa Pope when Poppa will probably just put a cap in his ass?
Thoughts?
can someone please send my plea to Shonda? please please don’t kill Jake off the show.
I mean, he’s sure as gone!! how do you go to Papa Pope’s house and tell him to shut up.
IN. HIS. OWN. HOUSE?
that’s a death sentence right there.
Fare thee well, Jake. I truly loved you.
(ohhh I got shivers when he said “call me later if you want me to do that thing to you”. Jake you can do that thing to me! )
I think the show is finally picking up…I liked it
Yeah! Glad we’re finally getting back into the groove!
Loved these recap-quotes. I relived each one.
I too thought that Cyrus was beginning to catch on, but I now see that his loneliness makes him as dumb as he looks.
I also agree that the dad killed her because IMO he didn’t sound strongly surprised when he asked if it was his daughter lying there.
It was odd of Olivia to have just one cup, which makes me believe that it was hers but quickly became dads when she made a spontaneous decision to “pop up” on dad.
To me Jake is being a jerk to Olivia because he doesn’t want to show his true sensitivity in knowing that the President is going to replace him soon enough.
Loved this episode and loved your recap!
Jake had some of the best lines of the night. Call me if you want to me do that thing to you. Shut your stubborn old man mouth. He called out both Popes.
Cyrus has lost his really lost his edge! He smell-o-vision is way off. I need mean, in charge, on top of everything Cyrus back. And David Rosen…getting down and dirty pulling old B-16 files for the cause and then the guy killed himself. Uh oh, don’t think he expected that.
What surprised me most was when Liv threw her law school friend up against the wall. First time we have her violent side. I guess it is to be expected given who her parents are. Is this side of Liv a sneak peek of things to come???
I like Cyrus’ Whore. That’s all I’ve got. The show itself is still a total mess.
What not to like about Cyrus’ whore? Oooh la la!
That’s also a good point about Olivia getting violent with her friend. That is a first. She is unraveling. Again. So is Cyrus . Again.

I really hate the entire Cyrus & the whore story line. Unraveling or not – Cyrus would never in 100 million years fall for something like that. He’d see it coming from a mile away. Although I agree the whore is nice to look at!!And while I’ve liked Porsche de Rossi another thing she’s done she’s driving me crazy in this. I don’t mind seeing other facets to characters – but for some reason she has everyone just slightly off the season so far. And most of all I feel sorry for poor Abby…. She’s completely frozen out everywhere. Don’t misunderstand – with all this criticism you think I don’t love the show – it’s still the best damn thing on television. Period.
Predictions:
Cyrus is gonna find out about the SlutBag before he gets a chance to blackmail him and turn the tables on him & Lizzie Bear….Why? Cause he’s Cyrus Fuckin Bean….even with that cat fur toupee!
Jake is gonna die & we might as well get out our funeral clothes and hymns together now! 🙁
Fitz & Liv gonna hump all over the oval office after Jake takes his permanent dirt nap!
Mellie’s gonna get her shit together to run as the next President in the next election so she can stay in the white house!!
Oh lord!!! Well if I can survive not hearing Harrison gladiator speech guess I will have to survive the death of jake too!! Nah thry can’t kill him!! How is scott foley in the public scandal department? Cuz that will speed it up lol!
I don’t like the Liv/Jake storyline ( nor the Liv/Fritz one for that matter) but when he closed the door in her face, I applauded. I agree with him, she needs to stop vacillating and make a choice one way or the other.
I dislike “this Cyrus”. I want the old, evil I run the world Cyrus.
I am sorry I really dislike Quinn. Can we kill her or put her in a hole with Mamma Pope or something?
Can we please get to what happened with Huck and his family, from last season. I am loosing my patience with Scandal and the Blacklist, that never address the “loose ends”.
I would greatly appreciate it if you didn’t take the words right out of my mouth!!! 🙂
I am still a fan of the show simply based off of the week to week scandals and amazing scripts. I could care less about Olivia and her stupid love life. They are trying to do the most with Quinn’s character, but she really is just a background player…like Abby. And I like that they are trying to give us a spectrum of Cyrus’ emotions/depression, but I need blood vessel-poppin’ Beane to come back.
Not loving Cyrus, his whore or his toupee. Because I’m allegedly a vampire who avoids daylight, I was watching a late night rerun of Frasier and Cyrus was a guest star! The sons were in a spelling bee and Frasiers kid was accused of cheating. Cyrus was the other kids father.
Kinda hoping Rosen and Abby (are those the right names?) work out soon, and we find out about Hucks family. Mellie love!
This post had only 12 comments…HTGAWM only 10. While the ones on Real Housewives got 60 on Phaedra and almost 200 on Tre and Joe. Mind you a couple of those were mine. TT, obviously we need much help getting off the drug that is Bravo.
As for Scandal…some of the best tv has to offer. Thanks for recapping.
Yes. Thanks for finally seeing the problem. Also, posting “For some reason, Phaedra painted her house white today.” gets a million views. While a carefully crafted recap of The Blacklist which takes several hours gets half a dozen views.
You people are the reason we have tabloid journalism. 🙂

This show is stupid now. And let me add, if Jake goes, I am not waching.
I was Scandals biggest fan until mid last season. Shonda is doing the most & it’s losing fans on every show. It’s annoying too cause I miss it but everytime I watch I’m exasperated by the loose ends and insanely obvious plotholes. The show needs a prescription for adderall. Then I might come back.
All of the quotes caught my attention, too.
Episode was frustrating but I think it was a set up for the rest of the season. I’m thinking there is a huge shift coming for all the characters.
Mellie continues to be excellent!
I think Sandal has become too Soap Opera. They all make speeches when they talk. Its no longer a regular conversation. I love that Olivia and Fitz aren’t sleeping together yet..I can not stand that heavy breathing. I am also glad that Mellie is doing something else besides worrying about Fitz and his affairs. Even if Mellie is grieving the death of her son, it is much better than her pretending to not know her husband is a cheater.
Olivia doesn’t like coffee. She’s said that before somewhere on the show. Just popcorn and wine lol.
