Scandal Season 3, Episode 2

WARNING!!!! I tend to ramble so please bear with me

This episode focused heavily on Olivia's past with her father Rowan. Rowan is a bad man maybe my new favorite villain in the universe. Describing Rowan as ruthless maybe an understatement. I want to know what does he want from Olivia? I know he wants her to be more than mediocre, sure what parent would not want their child to excel, but Rowan's standards maybe a little to high. Rowan was quick to  remind Olivia want he has done for her paying for her schooling and Sunday dinners. I wanted Olivia's backstory as much as anyone but seeing her with Rowan and he ruthless he is, I realize Olivia's background has been  slowly revealed through out the previous seasons of Scandal. The more Olivia tries to be different from Rowan the more she is just like him.

Olivia the fixer wants to fix people's problems and save the world. She wants to give people a clean slate and that's different from Rowan. 

Olivia personally life  identifies with Fitz both were has father issues, and their mothers are dead. Big Jerry is a lamb compared to the bear that this Rowan. Rowan uses people to his advantage poor Edison was almost killed because he was involved with Olivia.  The fact that Edison asked Olivia to marry him again, let's me believe that he does not know that Rowan was behind that accident that almost took his life.  Big Jerry wanted Fitz to fulfill his dream of becoming President , Rowan wants to be the only man in Olivia's life.

Olivia uses people to her advantage as well she used Harrison against Abby to protect her own interest. Huck went back down the dark road to help Olivia. Olivia used Fitz to stop an autopsy in season two to protect her client. David's career was destroyed being Olivia to protect Quinn or was it to protect Fitz from Defiance? Who knows but Olivia has never been perfect or the whit hat wearer she appears to be.  I can go and on about Olivia but she is flawed and human like me and you. 

Mellie and Cyrus once again were a tag team to keep Fitz in power and more importantly hold on to their power, but much power does Fitz have? The exchange between Cyrus and Fitz about B6-13 made it clear that Fitz can not control what Rowan does. Rowan is more powerful than Fitz and I'm ready for their show down it will be EPIC!!!!!

Poor Janine/Jeanine (I don't know how the fuck to spell her name) any-who y'all know who I'm talking about. The most interesting thing to me about her time on screen was the way she took the money from Mellie, and then when Fitz threw her under bus she was so upset. I wanted her to make on concrete decision she she took the money obviously what were you upset about? She decided to sail herself down the river.

Huck and Oliva geeeeeez that parking garage scene hurt my soul!!!!!!!! I understood why it happen (and no it was not done to prop up Jake, FOH with that) Huck trusted Olivia she found him and help get him back on track. Huck went to the dark side for Olivia over and over again. Once she found out who  Rowan really was she should have immediately told Huck but no she lied to him for years not days, but years . Which further plays into what I was speaking about with Olivia earlier.  I'm sure their relationship will never be the same. I'm interesting to see what happens. 

Olitz their phone call was just gorgeous God how sexy are they together no matter if they are in the same room together or not.  I have so much more to say but I will wait.

This ends my ramble..... 

Scandal, Season 3, Episode 2 Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.

  1. I myself was shocked by the interaction between Olivia and her Dad last week, and from the back history we got in this episode, I’m even more horrified. I totally see why Olivia is the way she is and I also see some similarities between Rowan’s belittling her and Big Jerry’s belittling Fitz. I totally get why she distanced herself from him, just like Fitz wanted to distance himself from his father.
    What can I say about Mellie and Cyrus? Just that I hope there is a special place in the fires of hell for them!!! LMAO at a possible showdown between Rowan and Fitz!!! I don’t know hands on Rowan can be, he got goons to do his bidding, but I done see Fitz murder an ole lady that came for him, my money is on Fitz.
    Jeannie… I think that’s how the spell her name, but I truly don’t care how the fuck they spell that ole cheap trick name. I wonder if she gone be paid now that Fitz got the word on them. Hmmm, that’d teach her arse a damn lesson, don’t make deals with the devil (MELLIE).
    I totally agree with HUCK for being livid that Olivia refused all these years to tell him who her dad is. I am 100% disgusted that the writers chose to make that scene where he becomes violent with Olivia (just like they wrote Jake being violent with her). I think that was deliberately written for reasons. Olivia asked/required so much of him. Huck’s done so much for her. Except for his one slip with Becky, he’s been there for her come what may. I feel that at least when he had that breakdown in 752, she should have decided then to be straight with him (if not at the moment, but soon after). She lied to his face, in particular when Charlie asked for the deal Huck got, she said – there was no deal…. LIE!!!
