Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?!?

"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.

“I have back up plans for my back up plans.”  I thought I was the only one that did that!  Me.  Too.  Boo Boo.  There is nothing wrong with being prepared just in case things don’t go as planned.  A wise man once said, “If you stay ready, you ain’t got to get ready.”  Still trying to figure out the angle of Ellen’s wifey and why she wants Cyrus to get caught up.

Cyrus just may have met his match with that cat, “The Whore” that is trying to set him up.  The Whore had him all excited to take a stalker-ish call from him.  I’m not mad at him, though.  It is so intoxicating!  That getting to know this new person stage where you wait for their phone call, hang on their every word and imagine what being with them will be like.  Yeah…that!  Cyrus is in trouble.  Is that what escorts tell their johns?  They aren’t paying for sex but are paying for privacy and discretion? 

When is the last time you realized you were inside the bubble?  David Rosen is sitting at the grown ups table and he is enjoying himself, baby!  He has a habit of making himself look mighty good and saving his career by digging through those old B6-13 files

Daddy!

Jake gifted him with last year just looking for the dirtiest of dirt.  Now you know that I know that you know that I know Jake did not give the B6-13 files to David for that purpose.  But, he won.  The gun ruling was given in the POTUS’ favor.  The Judge killed himself.  And David’s white hat is getting dirtier and dirtier. 

I sorta kinda maybe prolly…hell, sure would like Command to be my Daddy in my dream life.  I mean, come on!  He is THE man.  He can make me breakfast.  He can pour my wine.  He can invite my lover and I over for dinner.  Olivia don’t love no damn, Jake!  How the hell does she ask that cat to have dinner with her father…Command…knowing he threw Jake in the hole and tortured him?  What is this thing with Jake trying to play hard to get with Olivia?  He is committed to getting her to understand that she needs to choose him, right?  Oh, but Jake has a little bit of game.  He keeps reminding Olivia that she is not his girlfriend, he damn sure ain’t her boyfriend and she is in love with another man.  But the sex is cool. 

O-Wishia and Olivia are growing to be enemies.  Olivia wants O-Wishia to stay out of her business and she kept it pretty and classy when she described why they are not as close, “…different paths.”  Note to self.  Did you check Olivia roll her sistah girl eyes at O-Wishia, though?   A good eye roll is an excellent compliment to get your pissivity or plain old annoyance across!  I use it liberally.   

Madam First Cray Cray gets excited and lifts her head out of the fog she is stumbling through with Uggs on, to dig into a story about a new bride pushing her husband off a cliff?  Those people look absolutely confused with being called to the White House for a PowerPoint presentation on how not to get away with murder, which they already knew.  “Womp, womp, womp.”  Are we going to see her in a straight jacket before the season is over?       

Jake is still investigating what happened to Harrison and is using Quinn to get that creepy Charlie to talk.  I want him to stop calling her, “Robin.”  She is incredibly confident this season and took some classes in how to whoop a suckas a@! in the off season.  She ain’t loyal, though just like Chris Brown said!  Jake is going to uncover what really happened last season and blow Olivia’s mind with what he discovers.  Her daddy is still Command. 

Shonda, Shonda, Shonda.  Certainly there is a method to this slow rolling boil that you are teasing us with.  This must surely lead to some amazing crescendo where we are all whooping and hollering and waiting with baited breath for next week’s episode.  Right?!?  *insert that sistah girl eye roll*

Side note:  there was no music in this episode until it was time to for the POTUS to ask O-Wishia about his one true love.    

Side note to the side note:  the legs of this show are clearly firmly rooted under the sordid affair between Olivia and the POTUS.  Set up the meet, already!
