Bring On The Drama, Baby!

"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.

Still not buying the Jake and Olivia coupledom but I said that last week, huh?  And why is he not her boyfriend?  Is he only her boyfriend when they are strolling in the sun?  Does he not want to be at her apartment because that is where the drama with the POTUS happened?  Is he trying to get her on level playing field, maybe?  “If I wanna summon you, I will summon you.  Come here to me!”  Okay.  Maybe I can buy it a little bit. 

Our boy, Cyrus is back!  He always starts off nice enough but when he discovers you are not willing to give him what he wants, off come the gloves, baby!  Cyrus attempts to blackmail Olivia for taking money from the US government if she won’t do his bidding but she ain’t never scared.  I mean, her daddy is Command.  Until he pulls the trump card…Fitz!  He will throw a wrench in her attempt to move past that sordid affair with the POTUS and fill him with lies about Olivia wanting him and calling him and pining over him.  Now that’s a friend!  Who really is Cyrus’ friend?  Better yet, who is he a friend to? That.  Damn.  Cyrus.

The music is back! 

“I wonder wow!  He’s the greatest dancer!”

Anyone else notice Olivia is back to wearing white again.  But only on the top.  The bottom is reserved for black.  Message?

I just might be on Team Mellie this season.  She is a hot mess!  “This photo of you looking crazy is all over America and we have a problem!” says Cyrus in the only way he can say it.  Somebody needs to call Iyanla Vanzant so she can barge into the White House and help Mellie to fix her life!  Call a thing a thing, baby!  While she is at it, Iyanla can corner the POTUS and help him get his Presidential Balls back because he is just depressing to watch. 

Get yourself together, girl!

Abby (aka O-Wishia) is no Olivia, I don’t care what you say.  Olivia quarterbacking this thing is hilarious and Cyrus passes the information right along though he pretends he could care less.  I think O-Wishia really wants to be Olivia and she has always wanted to be Olivia but she will never be Olivia.  She did manage to pull off a fairly decent impression of Olivia when it counted, though and referencing Jackie Kennedy was a good move.  And Olivia managed to make that crazy couple irrelevant and give the POTUS just what he needed to make Madam First Cray Cray relatable to any other mother in the country.  Damn!  They still need Olivia.  White had still perched just so on her perfectly coiffed head. 

David.  David.  David.  *insert pitiful face*  Now he is going to run for Senate?  Not so fast, buddy.  Harrison’s reach stretches far beyond the grave with the falsified pictures accusing David of beating women so he won’t date Abby.  This cat has theeeeee worse luck ever!  But he still has those old B6-13 files to sift through and use what he finds to get him what he wants.  Clever, Mr. Rosen.  Clever.

I soooo do not want Huck and Quinn to be boos.  It’s just not right.  And it is gross.  And I want her to disappear.  “You could never mind your own business, Quinn!”

So Harrison's death is going to play itself out in a long plot this season?  Mama Pope, Command and the gross cat that loved Quinn still need to be woven into the picture.  A blind man can see that hot boy toy that was tempting Cyrus is bad news! Don’t do it, Cyrus!  It’s a damn set up by Ellen’s boo.  What?!?!  *fade out to Donna Summer’s music* 

Side note:  It took Mellie way to long to eat that fried chicken leg, by the way.  There is no nibbling on fried chicken!  Everybody knows that! 

Side note to the side note:  I was waiting for the drama, Ms. Shonda.  You are slowly dressing the table and I am waiting for the next course.  *dabbing my mouth with a napkin*
