Scandal ended its second season last night with its usual amount of fast-talking twists and turns. The mole turned out to be the former chief-of-staff to the Vice President, and Jake turned out to be working for Olivia's dad; David turned out to have busted the Defiance mess wide open, and managed to play it for a big pay-off
I loved the Fitz/Olivia moments. The chemistry between them has always been obvious and very well played by the actors but their whole together/ not together storyline is getting really tedious. Last night for the second time Fitz confessed his love to Olivia, and his willingness to do whatever it takes, and what does she do? Send him back to Millie. Of course he was aided significantly by a graphic sex tape uncovered by Cyrus thanks in part to Jake- he bugged Olivia's apartment earlier in the season.
I get the "wanting to be together no matter what" thing. She loves him even though Fitz killed Velma, he loves her even though Olivia kept Defiance from him. If I don't get some kind of huge pay-off soon, I may have to reconsider my Thursday night viewing options. Why not let Mellie play the wronged woman for a while? she can make political capital out of that. I think Fitz even learned a thing or two in the art of cruelty from her.
Quinn completely crossed to the dark side. The moment she took the drill from Huck I thought 'oh no, she isn't' and she did. What's worse is judging from her reaction is she liked it, and wanted to do it again. Huck had a 'what have I created' moment as he slammed the door in her face. How he'll sort her out next season will probably be a plot for next season.
The ending was the best part. Olivia blissfully distracted with her music opens the door to go for a run, and cameras, and microphones are shoved in her face. She takes her ear buds out to be greeted by questions about being the President's mistress. She's pulled into a limo and greets "Miles" with "Hi dad."
Does this mean Olivia's dad blabbed to the press about with Fitz? If so why? Where does he fit in with the Defiance plot? Does he have any ties to this so-called 'secret' C.I.A. division Jake works for?
Scandal returns to answer these questions, Thursdays this fall on ABC.
