So Rowan is cleaning house. Dude is packing up and going God knows where. So he scurried off and left Mama Pope in the hole for Olivia to find, which she did. Now Maya will face the consequences of all her crimes. She didn't see that coming though. She really thought Olivia was going to get her off or something, but no. Olivia is so done with her parents at this point. Maya's getting charged and she wants Rowan dead. Jake is still on the hunt for Rowan and tries really hard to find and kill him but he failed, again. Again I'll say, another failed attempt to kill Rowan. The only person that actually came close was Olivia and let's talk about that scene. Holy crap that scene! First off, Rowan lost all his marbles now. Dude went off the crazy deep end last night! This scene was really heartbreaking. Both of them were willing to kill the other. I'm a little shocked that Rowan was shocked Liv pulled the trigger. He had to think that there was a possibility that she would try to kill him. Why else would he bring an empty gun? Also Joe Morton deserves another Emmy for that scene alone. Some truths were said during that conversation. Rowan said that Olivia was acting just like him and she was. I mean, she said it herself that she was handling things just like her father. I think that now that Liv realized what she's become she will change. When we'll fully see that change, who knows since she's been kidnapped! Jake is as much of a super spy as Katrina Crane! (All you Sleepy Hollow fans will get that.) How in the world did he not hear her getting kidnapped?! He sucks!
And now on to that Kubiak guy and Liz. Everything really was connected because Liz and Andrew wanted Fitz to go to war with West Angola. Why, we don't know. But they want this war so bad that they planted the bombing on Andrew and took the one thing Fitz can't live without, Olivia. And now Liv is gone again and we are all wondering, again, where on Earth is Olivia Pope.
Cy's life almost went completely down the drain because Liz leaked those "sexy time pictures" of him and that prostitute. He even gave Fitz his resignation because it seemed like there was nothing else better to do. That scene was so heartbreaking. Cyrus loved that job and it was the closest thing to him being president. But in the end Olivia gave him the epic pep talk he needed to do what had to be done so he could stay in the white house.
Must mention Quinn and Charlie. These two, these two. I don't know how I feel about their relationship but at least something good came out of it with those B613 files. Maybe now Huck's wife can understand what happened to him and maybe he'll be able to see Javi again. Or it'll just scare the living daylights out of her, but let's not hope for that.
Also Mellie was on screen for like 5 minutes and killed it. I mean, she is still queen of that white house.
Lastly, I want to talk about Olivia and the choice she made. SHE CHOSE HERSELF!! FINALLY! I mean, I have been waiting for her to choose herself and now she's done it. No more #TeamFitz or #TeamJake for her. She only #TeamLiv now and I've been on that team for a while now. This make me oh so happy. Also, is she really happy now? Ever since Maya told Rowan she used to give Olivia popcorn when she was sad I've strongly believed that she was unhappy. Her life isn't that great but all she eats is popcorn so I think of that as an indicator if her happiness. But in that final scene she actually got real food. So does that mean she's happy? What do you think?
Over all this was a fantastic episode! The whole cast and crew deserves all the awards for this. Special shout out to the music department for the "Endless Love" placement and just all the music from the episode. Bravo. Since we have to wait a whole 2 months for it to come back I'm going to leave you with a few of my favorite quotes from last night. Please let me know what you think will happen when it comes back. This may be the only way I survive the hiatus.
"Olivia, watch yourself." ~ Rowan
"Look around, boo." ~ Maya
And any time they say bitch baby! (LOL)
