She. Ain't. Never. Scared.

"Scandalous Thursdays!"
"Hi!  My name is Faith Margaret and I watch Scandal."  I enjoy it.  Thoroughly…and will blog  right here about all new episodes on Thursday nights beginning next week.  Oh!  Your theories about what is happening next in this suspenseful show are welcomed along with my musings.

Abby gets what she probably has always wanted.  To be THE Olivia Pope.  Ms. Abby gets to rock the bad white coat (which will be sold out in a few weeks), drape the fabulous large bag on her left arm with her wrist hanging just so and do the “Olivia Stomp” through the halls of the White House.  All because Olivia’s boyfriend was mean to Olivia, per Cyrus Bean.   Clever son of a gun!

Baby Girl and The Real Command are working together now to bring down the White House?  He won’t touch a hair on Jake’s head?  Right.  But someone else will.  He ain’t slick!  B6-13 basically stole money from various government accounts in small amounts to keep their operation running and The Real Command ran that account so he offers his baby girl the information she needs to access that priceless data.  To bring down all the bad guys Olivia and ‘nem must figure out where all the money is coming from and their infrastructure and all their secrets and access it somehow.  That seems too easy, though with The Real Command helping Olivia.  Huck should know…if B6-13 promises something then they want something.  Believe that, Olivia!  Side note:  Huck has this way of looking scared and vulnerable and angry all at the same time.  Ummm, what’s an algorithm? 

I thought that mistress tied to the POTUS was fake and now she has written a book and is making great fun of him.  That’s hilarious!  That Sally Langston just won’t go away, will she?  No time for Sally and her foolishness tonight, though.  Olivia has bigger fish to fry with the Samuel Preston campaign threatening to take down both campaigns.  You remember Samuel Reston?  His wife got him off of that murder trial for shooting her lover?   Abby made a quick trip to the jailhouse with Sally’s right hand to offer Mrs. Preston a review of her husbands dirty file and probably some Dorritos and a soda (just like on the First 48)?  Mrs. Preston was ready to set her husband up and effectively get him off the campaign trail for good.  Done and done!
  
“What service am I here to render you today?”  Olivia finally admits to Fitz she is jealous of Mellie and does not appreciate him being jealous of his wife’s lover.  Fitz, you need to get your life.  All of it!  And she further admits that she realizes their love affair will never be anything more than what it is.  An affair.  There!  She said it.  And as always, Fitz reminds her that she wanted their affair just as much as he did and she can stop playing the victim.  Now deal with THAT!  Tell Andrew to stop having sex with his wife, Olivia.  DUH!!  And this, ladies and gentlemen is why it is not a good idea to sleep where you eat. 

I do believe this is the most brutal and mean and cold and evil I have seen Olivia Pope be towards someone.  The venom that came from her mouth was palpable as she confronted Mellie’s lover and gave him his options:  Screw Mellie or Be VP.  She made it clear he could not have both & felt no kind of way after he attempted to dress her down.  For good measure Olivia warned him that she will use her “considerable power” to destroy him and guaranteed him his beloved Mellie would not join him in oblivion because, “She’s more of a run with the big dogs kind of woman.”  Wait!  Did Mellie slap the POTUS in front of everyone in the Oval Office for taking her lover away from her?!?  Mama Pope may have been on to something when she told Olivia she is basically, “The Help.” 

She ain't never scared!

You know, the amount of power that Olivia wields over the men in her life is really amazing.  And must be sickening.  And dizzying.  And intoxicating.  And annoying.  And sad.  How can you respect any man that you can walk up and down upon knowing full well he will forgive you and bend to your will? 
B6-13 is still hot on the trail of Mama Pope because in the midst of this sordid love affair, it still has the purpose of saving The Republic.  Those Pope ladies indeed like to get with the swirl, huh?  “Swirl, swirl, swirl…”  That “Orange Is The New Black” is a damn good show!  I digress.  Quinn’s boyfriend is gross.  When I saw Mama Pope rocking the red suit in that room of gray I knew she has something deadly up her sleeve.  But a bomb?!?

The Real Command can’t be in love with a woman!  The Real Command can’t go drunk to some woman’s house begging to be let in and asking said woman to save him.  That can’t happen.  The position does not allow for that!  Get it together, Jake.  I have a bad feeling about what is coming next with this cat. 

Huck reminded Olivia that they do what they have do and since she asks him to do what he has to do then he should damn well be able to ask her to do what she has to do!  *deep breath*  And that’s to bed The Fake Command and plant that device on his phone.  And she had to get liquored up to do it.  How did they shoot that lusty scene in bed with Kerry’s belly all in the way?  Never mind.  Don’t answer that.  And I must say it again, Command can’t be in love with a woman!  Geez…

Sunday Dinners are back on, huh?  With Mama Pope making an appearance.  Oooh!!!  You should have heard me whoop and holler when she came walking into that restaurant.  And Olivia gets to see her parents basically in a stand off at the dinner table with knives pointed at one another while her mother shows and proves to Olivia that she is nothing to F#!K with?!?  Rest in peace to Harrison’s snitching friend.  Damn!  It’s going to be a showdown between The Real Command and Mama Pope.  She must hang with Bone Crusher or somethin’ ‘cuz baby, Mama Pope ain’t never scared! 

So I'm outside of da club and you think I'm a puuuuuuuunk
So I go to my loaded Tech 9 thats off in the truuuuuuuunk
I ain’t never scared…

Oh, damn…Quinn is going to save the day after all and we are going to have to wait until the next season (whenever that is) to figure out who survived Mama Pope’s bomb.  Two episodes to go…
