Scandal - Say Hello To My Little Friend

Can we all just take a minute to appreciate the hilariousness of this title. Okay. 

So, OPA is living the struggle life at the moment. They're having trouble finding clients and it seems like they have to seek them out instead of people seeking them out. Lucky for them they got a yes and they got a new client. Yay for that because we got to see some of Harrison's dance moves (anyone else thinking of Boys in Motion??). So a senator that has a problem sexting girls becomes their new client when one of those girls ends up dead and he is, obviously, the main suspect. This dude is just one huge web of lies! He never told the truth, except when he got caught. Everyone started to believe that he was a murderer, except Olivia, and they needed the money so they kept him as a client. And it took Olivia's gut to discover who really killed the girl; his wife. This whole story reminded me of  All Roads Lead To Fitz and Top Of The Hour; all the lies. 
Back at the White House, Mellie gets herself into some serious trouble when she can't keep her mouth shut about a congresswoman who has plans to run against Fitz in the next election. She forgets that "the microphone is always loaded" and says some rude comments about the congresswoman. This puts Cyrus in a tizzy and goes nuts trying to get her to fix it. During all this Fitz is more concerned about the man that Huck killed in the last episode and Operation Remington starts to become clearer and clearer. Fitz is all upset about his death and has Tom do some digging about his life and when he finds out that this guy is just going to be thrown in a pine box, he arranges for a real military funeral and shows up for it. (Along with Huck which was sad) When Cyrus finds out he gets all upset about it, too and has a little meeting with poppa Pope about it. I'm guessing Cyrus isn't even going to try to not have another heart attack. Cyrus gets Fitz to leave the past in the past which pissed me off. How else are we going to find out about Remington?! Which brings me to Huck and Jake.
These two are starting to have secret meetings about the hole and command and all that. Jake is making it his mission to bring poppa Pope down. He spies on Rowan's conversation with Cyrus and does his own digging on the guy Huck killed. He tries really hard to get Olivia on board with all this and at first it doesn't work, but it takes Huck to get her to listen. Here's what they found out: Remington has something to do with a flight mission that Fitz was the pilot for, but the guy that Huck killed made it seem like he was the pilot and not Fitz. This makes me think that something went completely wrong! Why else would they try to make it seem like it wasn't Fitz? Whatever it was, if people find out about it Fitz most likely wouldn't get elected again. If Fitz really doesn't want to be president he should leak what happened, but it might make Olivia not want him anymore. But, he did kill Verna so who knows. I just really want to know the whole story of Remington but we probably won't find out until the episode before they go on a winter hiatus. Why can't they just tell us?! I hate not knowing things!! 
I'm going to take this moment to talk about Jake. Jake is like glitter; you can never get rid of him, and when you think he's gone, he's not! Olivia kicked him out her house for goodness sake and he's still there in the end. And why did he have to go and tell her that he would never leave her. You don't say that to people with abandonment issues!! Those were like golden words to her, so of course she starts making out with him (ugh!). And they almost did the deed too if it wasn't for Fitz calling, but Jake ruined that too. He knows good and well didn't need more wine because he just topped her off! Boy does he got an agenda!! This guy. I'm sorry to all the Jake lovers out there. It's just that every time I see his I think of his spy wall. I can't get over that. 
Speaking of spies, Quinn nosiness finally got her in trouble. She took it a little to far by following Huck around and he was not having it. He's really concerned about her though. She wants to be like him and he ain't having that and he let her know, too. She really needs to take a moment and think about her intentions before she finds herself huddles up in a corner rocking back and forth chanting something about her past life. 
Overall I liked this episode. Ish is getting real with this Remington stuff and it's going to hit the fan when it all comes out in the open. Let's talk about the little things I liked. First, my favorite scene were the one when Huck confronted Quinn and the first scene between Cyrus and James (lol). Cobra, Abby's "pervy perv" line and that moment when Fitz defended Mellie. Yes, I was taken aback when he defended her but the part I want to focus on was when he grabbed her hand. She stood there and soaked that up and then she came to her senses and yanked away. Everything she said in those 10 seconds, oh my gosh! That is great acting. Dabby is back on! Also in the last scene we got curl action, a Fitz strut, and the meeting I was waiting between Fitz and poppa Pope! I'm mad that were it ended though! I hope we get to see what that meeting was. I really wonder if Fitz knows if that Rowan is poppa Pope. They told us they already knew each other I just want to know how. 
As for next week, there will be some serious fierceness by Olivia Pope and I CAN NOT WAIT!!
