Scandal	comment	ABC's Scandal is a juridically/politically-themed drama.Olivia Carolyn Pope (Kerry Washington) is a reputation-fixer who works for rich people needing to be saved from the latest scandal/accident/kidnapping that has befallen upon them. She oscillates between her usual incarnation, the ideal Guile Hero every Distressed Dude and Damsel who becomes her client dreams of, and the flawed, somehow manipulative master of the Hannibal Lecture, Double Entendre and intimidation and cause of Innocent Bystander's Freak Out she can become when she thinks she acts for the best, but misses the point. She usually does the right thing, and always is a really tough heroine, though she's hardly the kind to put Honor Before Reason.Her team has included Stephen Finch, Harrison Wright, Abby Whelan, Huck With-No-Last-Name, and Quinn Perkins, with occasional help (or opposition) from David Rosen, US Attorney for the District of Columbia. A large part of Olivia's life revolves around President Fitzgerald Grant and his administration; Olivia's on-and-off affair with the President complicates her personal life, to say the least, as the government's conspiracies and cover-ups cast a long shadow across the entire Family Pope and its Mysterious Past.The series is notable for being written by Shonda Rhimes, like a certain well-known medical series, and being one of the few dramas featuring a black actress as the main character. It is also highly feminist in content, with numerous strong female characters and very little reliance on traditional characterization or storylines. The cast is also very active on social media such as Twitter and Facebook, and participate in live-tweets, Instagram pictures, and podcasts about the series.In May 2017, it was announced that the seventh season would also be the last. The Series Finale aired on April 19th, 2018. Has a Character Page that could use a little love, Gladiators!

Scandal / int_10dcbe05	comment	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Perhaps 'love,' wouldn't be the best word to use to describe Fitz and Mellie's relationship even when they aren't at each other's throats, but season four reveals that the two do really care for each other in light of the death of their son. Cyrus and James' marriage looks like it's based on only deceit by the third season, but Cyrus is utterly devastated by his death.

Scandal / int_11b01fc7	comment	Happy Marriage Charade: Fitz and Mellie both hate each other, yet seemed like a very happy married couple because they’re America’s First Family, although critics of the Grant campaign did notice how distant they were when Fitz first began running. The two had to go through some media training conducted by Olivia and Cyrus to make them seem happier and closer and it worked… that is, until Mellie moved into the Blaire House decided to expose Fitz’s infidelity. But even then, they told the public that they would be undergoing marriage counseling. Then, in Season 5, when Fitz is again exposed as a cheater to the public, he and Mellie were going to lie again, but Mellie backed out last-minute. Cyrus and James. Everyone thinks that they are getting along, but in reality, Cyrus hadn't been living in his house for 22 days because James kicked him out. Cyrus and Michael were never married when they did like each other (on Cyrus’ part at least) and only got married to save Cyrus’ reputation, but they too are pretending to be a happily married couple. On Jake's part in his marriage with Vanessa.

Scandal / int_1282bf4f	type	No Celebrities Were Harmed
Scandal / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: The royal family of Caledonia in season 5 is pretty much an Expy for the British royal family: Queen Isabel - Queen Elizabeth II. Prince Richard - Prince Charles/Prince William. Princess Emily - Princess Diana/Wallis Simpson/Kate Middleton. The post-Grant administration election is also mirroring at least one of the real-life candidates of the 2016 US Presidential Election: Hollis Doyle - Donald Trump. Not necessarily personality-wise or anything else along those lines, but Mellie's story is linked to Hillary Clinton's. Both were First Ladies, both of their husbands cheated on them, both remained by their side (the first time for Mellie; the second time Fitz's infidelity was exposed, they divorced), both became Senators and both ran for President of the United States.

Scandal / int_13d7a65e	type	The Artifact
Scandal / int_13d7a65e	comment	The Artifact: Virtually all of Olivia's team besides Huck and later on Quinn is now more-or-less useless to her other than an extra pair of hands to help sort through files. The dark centered plot the show is headed makes their wacky character shticks rather out of place, and only Huck has any knowledge or capability that doesn't leave him completely over his head. Olivia's "gut" was something that was frequently mentioned during season one, and how her intuition is always right. At least it was long enough to prove to the audience that she is quick thinking and a very good judge of character. But by season 2, it is pretty much only mentioned when discussing how "her gut is broken" these days. By season 3 her magical intuition is no longer referred to, and her near godliness has been thoroughly de-emphasized. Olivia's "gut" returns in "Ride, Sally, Ride." Fitz overrides it to pick Andrew Nichols as his VP running mate. It turns out Olivia's gut was right even if she didn't know why: Andrew is secretly in love with Mellie.

Scandal / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
Scandal / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: "The Lawn Chair" focuses primarily on the public's reaction to a white police officer shooting an unarmed black teenager, and the subsequent fallout. Several examples in the season 5 premiere "Heavy is the Head". Caledonia and its monarchy strongly resemble the United Kingdom and its own royal family, with one of the crown princes having married an American woman in a recently televised royal wedding. The princess is subsequently killed in a road traffic accident, which is later revealed to have been orchestrated by the Caledonian royal family after they found out she had become pregnant by her bodyguard outside of her royal marriage. In the season 5 episode, "Even The Devil Deserves A Second Chance", Frank Holland, a writing professor, is accused by numerous women to have been drugged and raped while they were enrolled in his class. Fitz's affair with Olivia and impeachment trial as a result is a looser version of a scandal that plagued the Clinton administration. Hollis Doyle is the politically incorrect villain of the post-Grant administration election, having already made derogatory comments in his campaign announcement about immigrants and refugees. Mellie is a lot like an ex-First Lady who is also running for the presidency.

To start with, Mellie and Fitz are in a dead marriage, having affairs of their own, but Fitz, and his kids, Jerry and Karen didn't know about Mellie's affair at the start of "Mama Said Knock You Out". Both Jerry and Karen side with their mom with the news of their father's infidelity and encourage Mellie to get a divorce. Jerry, in particular, was so disdainful of his father, he even ran a secret anti-Fitz Twitter account that compared him to Hitler and owned a t-shirt of his rival candidate. To make matters worse, in that same episode, Jerry, Fitz and Karen all learn about Mellie's affair, which doesn't bide well with any of them. Oh and Fitz's father, Big Jerry? He's a rapist. And who was the victim? Mellie Grant. Olivia's family as well. Her mom's a terrorist and her dad has done things that, well, he might as well also be considered a terrorist for.

Several things have blocked the two from being together each season, including Mellie’s pregnancy, Jake, Fitz killing Verna, Mellie’s rape, Jerry IV’s death, Fitz’s status as president and just general arguing. It wasn’t until the Season 4 finale that Olivia officially chose Fitz (more like Jake ‘broke up’ with her) and the two began dating, but that ended by the fifth midseason finale when Olivia broke up with him so the two are back in a will-they-or-won’t-they situation.

This happens again to Jake in Season 5, when Rowan takes him in and Jake already kills someone to become the head of the NSA. Olivia fears that this may happen to Abby after ratting Cyrus out to become Chief of Staff.

In fact, Jerry IV and Karen both begged their mom to cancel their visit to their dad because of how awful their last visit went. In “Mama Said Knock You Out,” Mellie had to remind him of things to bring up when the kids came to visit. Post-Jerry’s death, when Karen became a part of an involuntary sex tape, Fitz goes as far as to ask her if she was raped, which Karen doesn't take very lightly.

When OPA is reviewing the seating chart while figuring out who Maya Pope was going to shoot if she wasn't aiming for Mellie, Olivia notes that Luna was in the line-of-sight, and reviews the footage of Frankie Vargas's assassination.

But it's in season three that the two reach their breaking point and their marriage is just as bad if not maybe worse than Fitz and Mellie's. Cyrus uses James to tempt Sally's husband Daniel Douglas and when James finds out, he goes ahead and sleeps with Daniel multiple times. To make matters worse, when Sally learns herself, she kills Daniel and Cyrus helps her cover it up. James suspects that either Cyrus or Sally killed Daniel and is on the hunt to find out and expose it, when Jake kills him. Cyrus is devastated because the two did reaffirm their love for each other not long before his death.

Olivia: Had an affair with President Grant during the campaign, assisted in rigging a national election in his favor, and covered up "Quinn's" real identity because of her accidental involvement in that rigging conspiracy, even conspiring with a Supreme Court justice to get her acquitted. Abby: Was married to a famous U.S. politician until she ran away. Their marriage had a history of domestic abuse and he's still searching for her. Harrison: Convicted of insider-trading, served serious jail time. He was also involved in something called Clearwater with Adnan Salif. Stephen: Was a hotshot lawyer, then had a breakdown in the middle of a trial where he was defending a large company that had destroyed a few lives through their chemical manufacturing. Quinn: Her real name isn't Quinn, and she didn't exist in that identity until two years ago. Season two reveals that [[spoiler: her real name is Lindsay Dwyer, she was framed for a bombing that killed seven people, and the conspiracy surrounding why stretches to not only Olivia, but the Supreme Court and the national security of the United States. This was further explained in "Happy Birthday, Mr. President": Hollis Doyle, the head of Cytron, rigged the explosion to get rid of evidence that Cytron helped orchestrate the rigging of the presidential election in Fitz's favor. He framed Lindsay Dwyer for the bombing. This did not sit right with Olivia, so she and Huck spirited Lindsay away and gave her a new identity as Quinn Perkins.. Huck: His dossier is apparently thicker than most spy novels, most of it is redacted, but he has CIA/espionage/military training as an assassin and Olivia trusts him to break a dictator's wife and children out of the embassy with only five minutes' leeway. He's also spent time homeless and suffering from PTSD, begging on the DC subway, which is when Olivia found him. Also, he probably has an ex-wife and child living somewhere in DC. There's also the surprising and villainous depths to Cyrus Beene - he's a Gay Conservative, and married to a much-younger man. In the earlier seasons, Mellie was portrayed as the villainous Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, a principal reason for why Olivia and Fitz weren't together, but season three reveals that the reason why her and Fitz's marriage began struggling was because Big Jerry raped her, but she withheld this from Fitz to save his and his father's relationship.

And in Season 5, he approaches Fitz about leaving office with a bang, but Fitz isn't interested. So, he scouts for a potential candidate for the next election, Francisco Vargas, and even puts the poor guy in a life-or-death situation so that he could gain some political capital for when he runs for president (which he also convinces Francisco into doing by lying). He puts his feelings for Tom aside to reunite with Michael and Ella now that he is Vargas' running mate and therefore Mellie's rival.

Since the soldier was meeting with his lover in a public place (bar/restaurant) and they enlisted the help of a security guard to get a tape of the two of them, it didn't seem very hard to uncover the "secret" or that it's likely to be secret very long. Similarly, the President starts making out with Olivia in the Oval Office having just pointed out there's a camera in the ceiling and is then interrupted by his Chief of Staff. If the President is that careless, how exactly has he not been caught before (the CoS makes it clear he didn't know)? Olivia's affair was not as secret as they thought. The Secret Service are very discreet, but Jeannine told Olivia that people at the White House knew Fitz was having an affair, but not with whom.

Regardless, the events of the season worked out well for him: his daughter got on that plane, the President owes him and is unlikely to interfere with B613 anymore, he still got to hurt Fitz in some way, his most troublesome agent is out of the picture, and he got to torment his terrorist wife and kill her lover. It continues to Season 4. Command/Rowan/Eli Pope takes advantage of Agent Bixby learning Secret Service Agent Tom Larsen was at Fort Dietrich, framing Jake Ballard for killing Jerry Grant. Rowan probably figured someone would learn about Tom being at Fort Dietrich eventually, and is using Bixby's discovery to get Tom to say Jake Ballard told him to kill Jerry Grant.

But it doesn’t end there; she is on the brink of tearing Susan’s family apart by threatening Kasey’s real father to come out with the truth, or else she would plant incriminating evidence that would get him back into jail—so scary, he ends up killing himself.

Scandal / int_5a4aa505	comment	Government Conspiracy: Involving Olivia, Cyrus, Mellie, Hollis, Verna and Lindsay Dwyer—unwillingly. The five conspired to rig the election in Fitz's favor, unbeknownst to him. Cyrus did it for the position as Chief of Staff, Mellie as First Lady, Verna as Fitz's Supreme Court Justice pick and Hollis for $2 billion pipeline. Olivia did it for Fitz. Hollis hired a worker from the Cytron company, Jesse, to tamper with a voting machine in Defiance county, Ohio. However, when Jesse learned that he would only be getting $5 million from Hollis, while Hollis would be receiving $2 billion from the pipeline, he threatened to expose him. Thus, Hollis had the Cytron company bombed. When Olivia and Verna learn that Jesse's girlfriend Lindsay would go down for the bombing, they kidnapped Lindsay, brought her to Washington, D.C. and changed her name to Quinn Perkins. President Fitzgerald Grant's assassination attempt, which is effectively an extension to Defiance. Verna hired B613 agent and Huck's girlfriend Becky as the hitman to shoot Fitz on his 50th birthday. Verna framed Hollis as the one orchestrating the assassination attempt, while Becky individually framed Huck for shooting the president. On her death bed, Verna admits to Fitz that she hired Becky to kill him because she felt that she wronged the American public for making him president and that she would be confessing to the cops about the assassination attempt and Defiance. To prevent this from happening, Fitz kills her. West Angola. The RNC chairperson Elizabeth North and VP Andrew Nichols both wanted Fitz to invade West Angola, believing that it would benefit the part, however Fitz refused to. They went as far as to organized his own assassination attempt and framed the West Angolan rebels for it. Andrew alone however had Olivia kidnapped and used her to blackmail Fitz into finally declaring war, with the support of almost everybody in the White House—secret service agents, aides, secretaries, even valets and butlers—except for Elizabeth, who had no idea about his plans. He planned to keep Olivia there for three more years until Fitz's term was over, during which he planned to control Fitz or Olivia would die. The death of Daniel Douglas. He's said to have died of a heart attack, despite that there was no autopsy on public record, but he was actually killed by his wife Sally Langston, who learned that he was gay and cheated on her.

Scandal / int_661d7909	type	Maligned Mixed Marriage
Scandal / int_661d7909	comment	Maligned Mixed Marriage: Largely averted in Olivia's case with both Fitz and Jake before her and the former go public. This was because Shonda Rhimes wanted to make the fact that Olivia and Fitz were an interracial couple as minimal as possible. Out of the main cast, however, Rowan is the only one to have a problem with Olivia and Fitz's relationship on the basis of race. He believes that Fitz's status as the white male President of the United States versus Olivia's as a black woman set her up for failure when she is accused of sleeping with the President. In-universe, when she and Fitz go public, the fact that Olivia is black and Fitz is white is only a problem for the media/general public. The interracial aspect of their relationship isn't conspicuously stated by the media, but rather they use Dog-Whistle Politics to imply that Olivia is a "sassy, well-spoken" black woman who likes to get with powerful, particularly white, men. The show further indicates that there is more outrage that Fitz slept with a black woman than one of his own race when Olivia is hit with racist and sexist comments.

He and his other operatives were conditioned to torture enemies and eventually grew to like it. Huck wanted out and was trying to "get sober" while living homeless when Olivia found him. The season two episode "Seven Fifty-Two" reveals that he has a wife and child, but after torture and sensory deprivation by the CIA he is no longer sure that his memories of them are genuine. He does, however, apparently remember seeing them while living homeless at a subway station; his son gave him money, with neither his son nor his wife apparently realizing it was him. The episode title (which Huck repeats for almost the entire portion of the episode set in the present due to shell shock from a recent attack he suffered very similar to the sensory deprivation to which the CIA subjected him) refers to the time when this occurred.

She gave up her career as a lawyer; had a good relationship with Big Jerry at face value, despite that he’s her rapist, to help her husband maintain a good relationship with his father; rigged an election; remained faithful in spite of being in love with another man and her husband having an affair; got pregnant with a third child so no would suspect he was cheating on her; and handed over the names of the jurors on the B613 case to keep their extramarital affairs a secret all for his truly, Fitzgerald Grant. On the contrary, she has betrayed him a few times by exposing his infidelity and starting an affair of her own. Plus, keeping his affair covert, getting pregnant, rigging the election and giving the names of the jurors was also in part helping herself. Regardless, she highlighted these in a brilliant "The Reason You Suck" Speech she gave to Fitz about all of the things she's done for him.

Olivia had bangs while running Fitz's campaign for President the first time. And back when Fitz was running for Governor of California and before then, Cyrus had more hair and a scruffy beard. Mellie's hair was up to around her chin and shoulders. In the flashbacks of the first election, Abby has wavy hair compared to her pin straight hair seen in the first and second season. The wavy hair ultimately comes back in the third season. Huck's beard was shaved while he was in B613. After he got kicked out, both his hair and beard grew extremely long to signify the "hobo" look. Eli had black hair when Jake entered B613, opposed to the thin salt-and-pepper hair he sports in the present day. Averted with Fitz, who didn't change one bit in neither the flashbacks from when he was running for President nor the ones of him running for Governor of California.

He was the main reason why Olivia agreed to go along with Defiance, so Fitz could finally show up his father for once in his life. He's also the reason why Fitz and Mellie's marriage died — he raped the latter, who kept her mouth shut and didn't tell her husband and anyone else so they could maintain a good relationship. This caused Mellie to emotionally and physically withdraw herself from Fitz, killing their marriage. Fitz himself admits that if that hadn't happened, he wouldn't have given anyone, not even Olivia, a second glance.

Somewhat justified, as he does explain later on in the episode that he was upset that she lied about being indifferent towards sex after their first son was born, but Mellie had made repeated attempts to sexually reconcile with Fitz since then. Fitz by then however was in love with Olivia so he naturally would refuse her attempts, but that's all the more reason for him not to be upset about her affair.

He calls them her "clan of good ol' boys." It is a lot of hypocritical, self-serving nonsense, as Olivia is angry at her father for killing her friend Harrison, who was black, as well a lot of other people. Also, Rowan was all right with Olivia dating Jake... before Jake found out Rowan had killed Fitz's son. Marcus Walker, a neighborhood activist, also edges close to calling Olivia this in "The Lawn Chair." He mentions her Prada purse and does some Oblivious Guilt Slinging with his Intentional Guilt Slinging about how she got a white Republican president elected twice. There is a Republican in office, yet POTUS, two VPs, FLOTUS and the Chief of Staff all have views that are rather contrary to the party, like Fitz support for gun control or Mellie's for Planned Parenthood and same-sex marriage or Susan's on immigration, to name a few. They're treated as normal and, in fact, it's characters like Hollis Doyle and Sally Langston that are portrayed as far-right for these typical values.

"Everything's Coming Up Mellie" reveals lots and lots of secrets: Cyrus used to have a beard. And facial hair, too! Big Jerry raped Mellie and might be the real father to her son, Jerry. Charlie tricks Quinn into killing a lead, recruiting her into B6-13. Sally Langston's husband is gay and interested in James. Fitz finds out Olivia's father runs B6-13. Olivia's mother is still alive. "YOLO": James asks Cyrus for a divorce. Huck tortures Quinn for her betrayal of Olivia.

"Kiss Kiss Bang Bang": James gets Killed Off for Real by Jake, who is now forcing David to have an innocent man arrested and tried for the murder under threat of death. Olivia and the Gladiators find out, but have to keep it quiet from Cyrus to hopefully bring down B613. Quinn, who's still working for B613, has recently snuck into Olivia's office; the sloppy way she went about it, leaving video evidence that could be found when Huck taught her not to leads him to think she still is a Gladiator after all. And he ends up kissing her. "The Price Of Free and Fair Elections": The church bomb intended to kill Fitz goes off. Jerry IV dies on stage while his father is campaigning, from bacterial meningitis, planted by who they thought was Maya, but later learned to be Rowan. Huck finds his family. Fitz finds out Big Jerry raped Mellie, but Fitz IV was still his kid. Fitz wins the election. Harrison is murdered by Rowan. Olivia blames herself for the death of Jerry IV so she and Jake together leave to a deserted island, abandoning the White House and O.P.A. "Where the Sun Don't Shine": Olivia is kidnapped to force Fitz to start a war in West Angola. Elizabeth North and Vice President Andrew Nichols are part of the conspiracy.

When Fitz finds out, he kicks her out of the White House just after she is elected Senator of Virginia and Cyrus is fired for convincing her to keep it a secret from Fitz. Jake breaks it off with Olivia. Fitz and Olivia finally get together. The aptly-titled episode "Thwack!": The reporter Fitz had a thing with, Lillian Forester, is covering ex-VP Andrew Nichols' tell-all on West Angola. Abby betrays Olivia by instead offering Andrew to tell about his affair with Mellie, thus compromising her campaign to keep Fitz from taking the blame for ever make Andrew his running mate in the first place. Experiencing PTSD, Olivia viciously murders Andrew. She goes to her father's house who warmly welcomes her home.

She also killed someone, although it is more or less justified, as it was in a life-or-death situation. But as of season five, Olivia is seemingly going down the darker path, having driven Susan's secret baby daddy to suicide to get him to publicize that he is Casey's actual father, effectively tearing a family apart, though Olivia eventually learns that it's wrong. But it doesn't end there, as in the subsequent episode "Thwack!", she bludgeons Andrew to death with a chair while experiencing PTSD when he taunts her. Also arguably justified because the PTSD was from when he had her kidnapped, so perhaps his death was revenge.

Those 4,329 votes that Governor Reston lost in Defiance, Ohio that cost him the election itself, which he kept mentioning in "All Roads Lead to Fitz"? Yeah, well those 4,329 votes were all rigged. Huck warns Olivia to cut off ties with her father, warning her that if Rowan does something for her, he will take something back in exchange.

Scandal / int_9e1e14ea	comment	Ambition Is Evil: Mellie, Cyrus, Verna and Hollis alone rigged an election for power, but the lengths at which Mellie and Cyrus go to for power do not end there. Mellie, but only during her quest for/reign as First Lady. Not only did she rig the election, but before that, she faked a miscarriage to win the female vote for the Grant campaign. Then, as the unhappy First Lady, she made attempts to expand her power by demanding to be included in security meetings and stating her opinion on issues, which would put Fitz in compromising positions. Her and Fitz’s marriage also suffered as a result of her power struggle and the only reason she ever fought for Fitz’s love again was because she blamed Olivia for not keeping Fitz happy and him sleeping with Amanda Tanner as a consequence. To top it all off, while she’s campaigning as Senator of Virginia, she gives Rowan the names of the jurors on the B613 case, leading to the death of all 16 jurors, in exchange for hiding Fitz's involvement in Operation Remington and the photos of their extramarital affairs (though she didn't know what the names would be used for when she provided them). In season 5, she announced she would be running for president, with no evil plans, as of yet. Cyrus. He was also a part of election rigging so that Fitz could win the presidency, which would effectively make him Chief of Staff. And in Season 5, he approaches Fitz about leaving office with a bang, but Fitz isn't interested. So, he scouts for a potential candidate for the next election, Francisco Vargas, and even puts the poor guy in a life-or-death situation so that he could gain some political capital for when he runs for president (which he also convinces Francisco into doing by lying). He puts his feelings for Tom aside to reunite with Michael and Ella now that he is Vargas' running mate and therefore Mellie's rival. Elizabeth North. She conspired to have the president declare war in West Angola because of the good press it would deliver to the Republican Party. Then, as the VP's Chief of Staff, she had David Rosen sleep with VP Susan Ross so that he could convince her to run for president, which would in turn make her Chief of Staff. Andrew also. He broke up with Mellie, so that he could remain on the Grant ticket as VP, which perhaps isn't as bad, given that Olivia convinced him that Mellie wouldn’t want him if he wasn’t on the ticket. But his ambition definitely got to the best of him when he had Olivia kidnapped so that Fitz could declare war in West Angola. Vicariously seen by Rowan with his daughter Olivia and 'son' Jake. Whatever power they gain is power that he gains, hence why he forces Jake to became the Head of the NSA, marry Vanessa and the potential running mate to Francisco Vargas against his will.

Zig-Zagged by Jake, who used to be against B613, but then became the head of the organization and killed at least three people while in the position. And it happens again, between season four and five, as in the former, he figured out who killed Fitz's son, tried to rescue Olivia and encouraged shutting down B613. But in season five, he crosses over to the dark side again, having killed the head of the NSA's boyfriend so he could take her role and works for Rowan Pope again. Andrew may have suffered from one after being blackmailed into breaking up with Mellie. Implied to be happening with Olivia. It starts in "The Miseducation of Susan Ross," in which she scares Susan's husband into killing himself when he refuses to publicly disclose that he is her daughter's real father. She quickly realizes this is wrong, but the White Hat is officially set on fire when she pounds Andrew's face in with a chair, killing him. Come the Season Six finale, the turn is complete, and the Big Bad of the final season is set up to be Olivia herself.

This is why Olivia broke up with Edison Davis some time before the first episode. Invoked by Olivia to save both David and Abby from Hollis Doyle without either of them knowing about it. She had Harrison do it and didn't tell him why. Whether Harrison did it out of loyalty to Olivia, his friendship with Abby or to get a bigger office is nebulous. Olivia believes that it is her fault that Jerry IV is dead and so flees Washington so that no more tragedies like this would happen to Fitz. Olivia hurtfully breaks Jake's heart on his wedding day when he was ready to reject Vanessa, calling him weak, a booty call, and that she never loved him to convince him to marry Vanessa, or Rowan would kill him.

Scandal / int_c5ccf60f	comment	Fitz and Mellie both hate each other, yet seemed like a very happy married couple because they’re America’s First Family, although critics of the Grant campaign did notice how distant they were when Fitz first began running. The two had to go through some media training conducted by Olivia and Cyrus to make them seem happier and closer and it worked… that is, until Mellie moved into the Blaire House decided to expose Fitz’s infidelity. But even then, they told the public that they would be undergoing marriage counseling. Then, in Season 5, when Fitz is again exposed as a cheater to the public, he and Mellie were going to lie again, but Mellie backed out last-minute.

Scandal / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Cyrus uses "I saw Goody Proctor with the Devil!" from Arthur Miller's The Crucible, adding "Right here in DC!" to warn Olivia how a Sally Langston presidency will be. When David is trying to convince James that he isn’t a Conspiracy Theorist in the "Defiance" episode, he says "I don't believe 9/11 was an inside job or the phone company killed J.F.K", a reference to True Believer, itself a reference to The President's Analyst. Mellie likens Olivia to Cleopatra in "Icarus," but not in a good way. "I did everything but roll your whore up in a rug and unfurl her at your feet!" In "A Door Marked Exit," similar to Batman Begins, someone finds out he's fired by being asked "Didn't you get the memo?" At the start of "Randy, Red, Superfreak and Julia," Olivia is reading the novel Gone Girl and using the alias "Julia Baker," the name of Diahann Carroll's character on the TV drama "Julia." Olivia is likened to Helen of Troy by Tom Larsen in "Baby Made a Mess." A bit of Fridge Brilliance concerning the "Face that launched a thousand ships" line, after Olivia is kidnapped so Fitz will start a war in West Angola. Jake stalking an apartment is intercut with Rowan/Eli prepares a glass of wine. Similar to The Silence of the Lambs, Jake finds an empty apartment and Rowan/Eli is actually in Olivia's apartment. As noted on Twitter, the final scene of "First Lady Sings the Blues" with Olivia and Russell in bed and she puts a gun to his head, is very similar to a scene between Eddie Murphy and Jasmine Guy in Harlem Nights. Jake makes a similar reference to The Crucible as above, when asked to sign a document refuting the existence of B6-13. The Republicans of the senator give Fitz a booklet entitled "A Modest Proposal" about rolling back some of his administration's bills. The title is a reference to Jonathan Swift's satire from 1729. "Dead in the Water" has a major Sherlock Shout-Out as Huck's "mind palace" is the conference room of OPA as he struggles to free himself from a car sinking in water. There's even a math equation on the Big Board. Other parts of the episode salute the works of Alfred Hitchcock, including Psycho and Vertigo.

Their reputation for assassinating foreign leaders is just one example. Command himself. Said to be able to speak 8 languages and code. We never see him do either. He also claims that his actions "kept the stock market afloat, the dollar where it needs to be, our shores at peace". As the actual leader of B613 we don't see him do anything that might be that influential. Black Sable, a legendary Soviet Spymaster. We hear a lot about her, but all she ends up doing is dying to Make B613 looks dangerous. Lieutenant-general Diane Peters. Head of Cyber Command and called a badass by Huck, she is decorated and has a sterling reputation. Her episode makes you wonder how such an idiot ever got so high in the ranks.

Olivia too. Fixing an election is pretty dark, but she was the most reluctant and was the only one who didn't do it for power. She also killed someone, although it is more or less justified, as it was in a life-or-death situation. But as of season five, Olivia is seemingly going down the darker path, having driven Susan's secret baby daddy to suicide to get him to publicize that he is Casey's actual father, effectively tearing a family apart, though Olivia eventually learns that it's wrong. But it doesn't end there, as in the subsequent episode "Thwack!", she bludgeons Andrew to death with a chair while experiencing PTSD when he taunts her. Also arguably justified because the PTSD was from when he had her kidnapped, so perhaps his death was revenge. OPA as a whole. They've done quite a few questionable things, but they as a whole stand for justice.

Then, in season five, Marcus is approached by Quinn in a bar to be recruited for OPA. Subverted in season 5. When he sees Vargas stepping off a bus with an attractive reporter, Cyrus is convinced the duo are having an affair and terrified that this is going to be just like Fitz and Olivia. He has a contact "lean on" the reporter which leaves her with a battered face. Vargas confronts him on it, Cyrus defending himself on "I've seen this play out, I know how it ends" and this affair would ruin Vargas...at which point, Vargas yells he's a happily married man and there was never any affair. Cyrus is rocked to realize his belief Vargas could be like Fitz is what sets the events of the season into motion.

Scandal / int_e031b7ef	comment	Slave to PR: Fitz. During the primaries, Sally Langston was already winning religious Republican voters and so it was up to him to show that he's got the family values. Thus, he had to keep his affair with Olivia and dead marriage to Mellie under wraps to get win the election and this extends further on into his career as President in order to win a second term and maintain high approval ratings. Even after he and Mellie get a divorce, they remained pretending that the split was amicable. Scratch that, all of them are. Fitz, being the President and all, just has it the worst, but that doesn't mean others like Mellie and Olivia don't have it hard.

When Vargas is assasinated on Election Night, Fitz assumes this means Cyrus will be voted President. But David claims that the electors can "vote for whoever they want" and Fitz has to make the final decision. While the death of a President-elect is obviously uncharted territory, the idea electors can "vote for whoever they want" is exaggerated. In the case of a disputed electoral vote, it would be the House, not the President, making the final decision. And that's without Cyrus arrested for the plot, exonerated at the last minute to challenge Mellie and Mellie voted by the electoral college before it's revealed Vargars' own widow (a woman with no political experience) was behind it in hopes she'd be named President instead.

Cyrus is locked out from what Fitz is doing, even though he is his Chief of Staff, after Fitz learns he was a part of the conspiracy to rig the election and Mellie convinces him that it was all Cyrus' fault.

Scandal / int_f16da697	type	Undying Loyalty
Scandal / int_f16da697	comment	Undying Loyalty: This show plays this trope so straight that it's almost an outright deconstruction. Most of this revolves around Olivia who consistently asks her those at O.P.A. to do things at severe personal cost and risk to themselves. And for the most part they do it. But this is implied to be the reason why Stephen leaves. Also, a major part of the conflict between Olivia and David Rosen throughout the show is that she asks him several times to do illegal/semi-illegal acts based on faith in her and David, a man of the law, outright refuses to compromise his morals, ethics, or integrity on that alone. This is arguably foreshadow, since by the end of Season 6, Olivia is revealed to be a Villain Protagonist. Cyrus is extremely loyal to Fitz, having rigged an election for him, almost killed his husband, James, for finding out he rigged an election and used James to expose Fitz’s rival candidate’s husband’s sexuality. But as of the second half of season 5, it seems he’s betrayed Fitz in a way, having been secretly doubling as both the Chief of Staff of the Grant administration and as Francisco Vargas’ campaign manager. Mellie as well. She gave up her career as a lawyer; had a good relationship with Big Jerry at face value, despite that he’s her rapist, to help her husband maintain a good relationship with his father; rigged an election; remained faithful in spite of being in love with another man and her husband having an affair; got pregnant with a third child so no would suspect he was cheating on her; and handed over the names of the jurors on the B613 case to keep their extramarital affairs a secret all for his truly, Fitzgerald Grant. On the contrary, she has betrayed him a few times by exposing his infidelity and starting an affair of her own. Plus, keeping his affair covert, getting pregnant, rigging the election and giving the names of the jurors was also in part helping herself. Regardless, she highlighted these in a brilliant "The Reason You Suck" Speech she gave to Fitz about all of the things she's done for him.

Scandal / int_fd4f8299	comment	Well-Intentioned Extremist: Cyrus. He's fixed an election and nearly murdered his husband just for Fitz, even though Fitz wouldn't agree with what and why he did either. Jake in one instance, where he killed James, Vanessa Chandler and Shelby Moss to "protect the republic" from the three revealing that Sally Langston killed Daniel Douglas.

Scandal / int_fdc1e848	type	Will They or Won't They?
Scandal / int_fdc1e848	comment	Will They or Won't They?: Fitz and Olivia from the start of the series. Several things have blocked the two from being together each season, including Mellie’s pregnancy, Jake, Fitz killing Verna, Mellie’s rape, Jerry IV’s death, Fitz’s status as president and just general arguing. It wasn’t until the Season 4 finale that Olivia officially chose Fitz (more like Jake ‘broke up’ with her) and the two began dating, but that ended by the fifth midseason finale when Olivia broke up with him so the two are back in a will-they-or-won’t-they situation. Jake and Olivia since the former’s introduction, but what’s primarily stopped them from being together is Jake’s involvement with B613 and her feelings for Fitz. The two together abandon Washington and everyone in there in the Season 3 finale, seeming like she chose Jake, but for a while he still didn't consider her his girlfriend. Jake breaks it off with her in the Season 4 finale, but there were still “Olake” moments in the following season and as of the midseason premiere, they’re sleeping together again, despite that Jake is engaged to someone.

Even Cyrus, despite being a balding, fat, ugly old man, has a string of studly male prostitutes at his beck and call.
