Foxtail. Do you remember “Foxtail” being pointed out on any type of previous episode of Scandal? I do not, however that doesn’t indicate it didn’t happen. The shady B-613 project was ultimately revealed, however we’ll have to wait until next week to see if it pertains to fruition. Last night’s episode was mostly just putting things in place for a finale that ABC’s previews vow will be “insane.”
We rejoined scandal with Jake in Olivia’s bed, continuing to miraculously recover from his lots of stab wounds that were treated in a storehouse with sanitation levels a lot of recently seen in Civil war amputations. Olivia might want to quit being a fixer as well as go into medicine.
Elsewhere, Olivia’s suitors were faring worse. Her gun-to-the-head sex maneuver was obviously sufficient to take Russell the Boytoy into torturous custody; Quinn as well as Huck were ripping his fingernails off to discover out what Foxtail was, as well as quite honestly, I don’t remember Rowan ever saying “Foxtail” to anyone, as well as I don’t understand why we’re meant to care about it. add it to the listing of things I’m not sure why I care about, ideal after B-613. I spent the entire episode trying to remember when it came up two weeks ago, to no avail. The episode did not bother to jog my memory.
While Quinn as well as Huck were perfecting the art of the waterboard, Vice president Crazypants was on a boat for a Navy photo-op, during which she stole a servicewoman since she saw a bruise on her wrist as well as made a decision that indicated she had been raped. She took the servicewoman directly to the Oval Office, where Fitz as well as Cyrus yelled at her for stealing a member of the military who hadn’t really said she had been assaulted. Being VP Crazypants is very challenging however very empathetic.
Ensign Martin had been assaulted, of course, as well as it was by an admiral. The VP sent Olivia to get to the bottom of it, as well as when cursory efforts to draw in the assist of the grant administration failed, Olivia went straight for the media to try as well as force the president to intervene on the servicewoman’s behalf to get the trial moved from military tribunal to private court. That indicated people were asking questions of Mellie mid-campaign as well, as well as when she went to ask Fitz to do the ideal thing, he said no. That hit Mellie particularly hard, considering that both of them understand what Fitz’s daddy did to her. Later, Mellie was told to “lean in” to her picture has a grieving mother. I want to take Mellie with me to delighted hour tonight.
The military did choose to make an official query into the accusations, however the Navy sent a JAG who worshipped the admiral as well as was so fresh out of legislation school that he had never tried any type of kind of rape situation before. His name was Virgil as well as everything! The official questioning did not go well, as well as instantly afterward, Olivia was summoned to the ensign’s ship since she had discovered she was pregnant. While there, it became clear to Olivia that her remarkable officers were not prepared to treat her relatively while the investigation ran its course, so they devised a way to get her out of there.
Olivia, never one to let an investigation run its course, enlisted Abby’s help, called in a back-room favor to the president as well as got the documentation she needed to track the admiral’s whereabouts on the night in question. After the military discovered a video of the admiral dragging the young ensign into his office, he was forced to confess.
Back at the ranch, Jake’s pain meds had loosened him up just sufficient to remind Olivia that he as well as Russell stalked as well as studied Olivia in precisely the same way, as well as the only difference in the outcome is that Jake fell in love with her. The purpose of the speech seemed to be that Jake was encouraging Olivia to kill Russell, which is a affordable thing to advocate when you remember Russell stabbed him a lot of times.
For reasons that weren’t quite clear even to him, one of Jake’s very first post-miraculous recovery (seriously, he got stabbed continuously by an assassin two weeks ago) outings was to chit chat with Russell over beers about exactly how Rowan intended Olivia to catch both of them. He did, of course; Rowan needs to control Olivia, as well as for her to understand that she can be controlled, as well as that doesn’t work if Olivia never figures out that he’s the one sending spies with rippling abs into her life. try to neglect that it’s incredibly creepy that Rowan has trained a small army of men to seduce his daughter; at least he has chosen appealing ones.
Scandal is like legislation & buy in one very particular way: when it feels over as well as you look at the lock as well as there’s still ten minutes left, you understand that some kind of huge twist is about to happen. normally I can feel this show’s manipulation coming, however when sweet, dopey JAG Virgil was revealed to be one more of Rowan’s embedded B-613 agents, I felt genuine surprise, since yo, I got swindled by a bro named Virgil.
The ending left me feeling at least a little energized, even if the show that preceded it hadn’t; Virgil knocked out Huck as well as freed Russell, Mellie used her campaign pulpit to go after Fitz over his inaction in the military rape situation as well as Shonda revealed that MELLIE IS FOXTAIL. If they kill Mellie next week, I’m going to be so mad. however likewise kind of delighted for her, since everybody around Mellie is a silly garbage monster, as well as at least when she’s dead, she’ll get some peace. At a specific point, being dead sounds much better than being married to Fitz.
My enthusiasm is somewhat limited, though, since the odds that Mellie will die next week seem ultra slim. We don’t even understand why Rowan would want her dead, very first of all; she as well as Olivia don’t even get along, as well as if he wanted to really crush his daughter, Rowan might just kill Fitz. One would think the potential consequences would be similar, as well as it’d be a a lot more striking presentation of power. Seeing the Mellie/Fitz storyline rejoin the B-613 storyline is a great thing for the show, however I’m not completely sure I’m getting the concern Shonda’s trying to sell. Although we all understand what happened a couple weeks back on Grey’s Anatomy, though; I assumption we shouldn’t completely write off the possibility.
