Scandal Olivia Sold

‘Scandal’ Recap: Olivia’s Life Is Handed Over To The Highest Bidder

Many, many people bid for Olivia Pope’s life on the Feb. 12 episode of ‘Scandal’, but only one buyer walked away the winner of the love of Fitz’s life.
Scandal sure knows how to end an episode with a cliffhanger! On the Feb. 12 episode, Olivia (Kerry Washington) was sold and became a bigger pawn in an even deadlier game, Huck (Guillermo Diaz) started to unravel (again) and Mellie (Bellamy Young) had to handle a serious problem that could have potentially marred her perfect image.

Scandal Rowan Frames Jake

‘Scandal’ Recap: Jake Goes Down For Jerry & Harrison’s Deaths

The drama almost got too intense for words on the Oct. 23 episode of ‘Scandal.’ Poor Jake was on the receiving end of a lot of brutal accusations and punches. Can’t this guy catch a break?
Just when you think you know what’s going to go down on Scandal, the show goes and turns everything upside down. On the Oct. 23 episode, Jake (Scott Foley) was interrogated about Jerry’s murder, Rowan (Joe Morton) managed to totally manipulate Olivia (Kerry Washington), Huck’s (Guillermo Diaz) heartbreaking attempt to get back to his family goes awry and Mellie (Bellamy Young) reached a whole new level of crazy.

Karen Grant (Mary Mouser) resurfaced, Rowan (Joe Morton) gained the upper hand on Jake (Scott Foley) and Olivia (Kerry Washington) and Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) shared one intense moment. (Seriously, we’re still recovering.)

What do we do when we have problems in our love lives? Run to the Commander In Chief, of course.
