SCANDAL RECAP OF SEASON FINALE PART II:h A DOOR MARKED EXIT

Well, this is it. The mind-blowing season finale.

Sally says her husband Daniel unleashed a snake into their garden. She knew his ass was gay back in college when they met. Saying he was pretty and stupid. That's usually what men say about women.

Sally to Daniel, "I can't wait for you to meet your maker." On her way to snapping. Right before plunging that letter opener into his back. He thought he was going to tell the Sally Langston story, but the devil came in.

Cyrus and all of those flashbacks. I've never seen him so vulnerable, throwing up and everything. He got back to his old self quick, though. Calling in the new cleaners, Quinn and Charlie. I'm glad they cleaned up Sally's face, walking around like a zombie. Cyrus played it off, hugging Sally. But when the doctor tried to look too close at Daniel's body, Sally's ambition burst through her inertia.

Quinn was still at B613 with a tracking chip where her tooth used to be. Ooouch, and she came so close to killing Eli/Rowan. What was up with the toilet cam? Later it looked like she was thinking about killing Charlie. But she just wanted to escape. Going to see Huck.  Huck is no longer her friend so she has no where else to go but back to B613 and Charlie. That's kind of sad. Liv is the only thing keeping Huck from killing her. He is so mad at her for betraying Liv.

Eli was getting a taste of his own medicine down in the basement of the Pentagon. Fitz holding it down. Having a staring match. Fitz had some questions. I just want to know who is above the presidents pay grade? Oh, it's Eli/Rowan.

And here comes Mellie all excited because it looks like her plan is coming together with Daniel dead. I was surprised Cyrus told her the truth. Of course she ran with it. Straight to Sally to rub her face in it. You're a part of our family now. Yeah a big old dysfunctional family.

Mellie's in her element, faking the funk for the public. She's the queen of ambition. She doesn't care whose body she has to step over. Keeping her fantasy alive. Mellie was right about Sally snapping.

Oh, and back to Eli/Rowan and Fitz in the basement. I hollered when Fitz told Eli/Rowan, "I'm screwing her, you know. Every chance I get." Of course Eli/Rowan already knew. He knows everything. He was unmoved, as a matter of fact, he said, "You disappoint me as a suitor for my daughter's hand." Damn, he's hard.

After Eli/Rowan read Fitz some more, calling him all kinds of "boy"s, he told him that Liv was "just a door marked exit". An escape from under Fitz Sr.'s thumb.

I thought Cyrus and James were going to break up, but James is learning fast.  Just because Cyrus "bought that little girl" for him, he's not going to go back to being all lovey dovey. Instead of leaving Cyrus, he negotiated himself a new position as White House press secretary. I'm sure he will have to pay a price for this new job. I thought he might turn up dead, going to that DA guy with the story about Sally killing Daniel. Who is going to believe him?

Jake professed his love for Liv and passionately kissed her good bye (and she kissed him back) only to turn up as the new head of B613 handing Eli/Rowan his walking papers. We all know Eli/Rowan is not going away quietly.  I liked that Stevie Wonder music, though.

Momma Pope/Maya/Marie, turned out like many suspected, to be a serious spy. A real femme fatale. I don't think she ever expected to have a normal family life. She's killed everyone on the plane Liv put her on, and in a bad ass coat (when did she find time to shop?) turns out she's still in DC! Whaatt? It ain't over yet!

Yep, the Devil is all up in this bitch!


See you February 27th.

SCANDAL RECAP DECEMBER 5, 2013 - YOLO - THE WINTER FINALE EVENT - WEEK ONE

Warming up a bit while my East Coast Gladiators are already in the heat of it.

I feel a little silly still being all exited about this because of Nelson Mandela dying today. We lost a great man today. A peacekeeper. It's going to be interesting to see what happens in South Africa now.

We've waited two weeks to see what's going to happen now that Liv has found her no longer dead mother.

Huck tortured Quinn. Enjoying it. His own little loved one baby. Damn. "I promise I won't kill you." Quinn is in for it. YOLO. It was looking like she was about to finish up her one life. YOLO you only live once.

I can't believe Liv asked Huck why she needs to run with her mom. She's been in enough danger that when Huck tells you to run, you don't ask questions, you just fucking run. Come on Liv!

Vice President Langston made a deal with the devil. Drop your allegiance to Jesus, girl and go with politics. Neil just asked her to give up her religion, but she took it too damn far.

Undead Momma Pope says she married a monster. Duh. 22 years underground as Omar Dresden. Huck and Jake slammed her ass on that table and snatched out her tracking chip. Ouch. Should have known something when she didn't flinch. Right, she ate her own wrist.

Who's the new sister girl? They talked so fast I didn't get it. I know she slept with Harrison, that was clear from their body language. A brother needs a love interest.

Have breakfast with your mother, Livvie. I thought she might have some fruit loops in that grocery bag. Tell me about yourself, Livvie.
Not much to tell. Oh, just sleeping with the president, fixing scandals and elections. Momma Pope's fantasy was way off.

Battle of the tall skinny white men over a sister! Just saying.


Daniel Douglas - James said, we barely scratched the surface, rub it in Cyrus' face. Baby boy playing the sex card. James knows that Cyrus knows he actually slept with Daniel Douglas, who says, "I am not gay! I am a man." He doesn't know yet that he is a gay man. He doesn't know yet that he's a dead man.

They're going to have to whack Rowan/Eli. It won't be easy, but Huck and Jake have the inside skinny on B613.

Quinn betrayed Liv. Can't do that! My teeth hurt just watching. Aaaaaaahhh! I still have no sympathy for her ass. She wanted to be all up in the spy world. This is the price.

Sally Langston. Uh Oh. Don't forget Fitz is a murderer.

Cyrus. Pimped out your own husband. Used him like a cheap ho. Cyrus is going to have another heart attack, if he doesn't watch himself.

There's no crying in the White House, Cyrus. Mellie had to explain to him how to be the betrayed spouse.

Liv wants the fantasy of Vermont. Girl, you ain't got time for no kids.

Consider it handled. Alright Fitz.

Crying is against the rules in spying Quinn. She's feeling all hurt because Huck was torturing her. Huck is a psychopath after all and so is this guy Charlie. Girlfriend's got a bad track record in choosing men.

Sally nostrils flaired as she looked at those pictures. This episode was   down and dirty. Feelings are crushed but ambition lives. Did Cyrus say Sally didn't see the pix?

Liv sounded 12 years old when she shouted MOM! Then twist again at the very last seconds of the episode. Marie Wallace (Momma Pope). He's not the monster, she is. WHAAAAAAT! After we've set up the hit on Eli/Rowan! Eli said he didn't enjoy killing people, that was a hint.

I've commited a sin. OOOOOOOO NOOOOOO!!! Sally what have you done??????!!!!!

Pardon me while I go take some oxygen.

November 21, 2013 Episode

Just want to get things started before the show starts tonight. I've already watched a couple sneak peeks. Momma Pope ain't no joke. She threatened Eli. She ain't scared of him, like I am. Sister must be more hard core than he is. I'll bet she'll see her daughter real soon.

Will it be a warm and fuzzy reunion of mother and daughter?Umm...probably not. Will they talk really really fast as they detail what happened during the 20 years since they last saw each other? There'll probably be more flashbacks. Will Liv be wearing a beautiful coat to hide her real life pregnancy? Probably yes!

To be continued......

Well, first this episode was directed by Ava Duvernay. Sisters doing it for themselves. Yay!

I was thinking Quinn was going to have to say something to someone about this pickle that she's in. Of course Huck figured it out. He's going to have to apply some B613 medicine to her dumb ass. Just because she needed some attention. Well she's got some attention now.

Cyrus is so wrong for playing his little hubby the way he does. Took baby boy a minute, but he figure it out. Now the player has been played.
Ouch. Mellie tried to warn him about what this is going to feel like.

Just a side note on Liv's beautiful at home sweaters. I want, I want.

Mama Pope. OH SHIT! She didn't just bite her own wrist, she ate her own wrist. Like an animal bitting off its own foot to get out of a trap. DAYUM. She was looking like a vampire up in there. I'm pretty sure I couldn't do that to myself.

We thought we were Gladiators, now we're Pope Heads. OK. :|

And Harrison....fucking the sister/daughter. I know she needed a muzzle but damn. Well, everyone else on the show is getting laid. But again... damn.

Eli was actually showing a somewhat soft spot as he shared Liv's pix with Mama Pope. What?? The head of a Top Secret Government Spy Organization has a soft spot? Mama Pope told Eli 20 some years ago, to take care of Liv. She knew she wasn't going to be around for-never.

I felt for Fitz's secretary because...Mellie, your husband's busy he can't take no calls from you!!!

That house was nice. I don't blame Liv for not wanting to sell it yet. Keeping the fantasy that they will be together one day alive a little while longer. Now they've got a plan and all over their secrets are out. So go ahead Fitz, "Do what you've got to do." Look out Eli, it's about to be on and crackalackin'.

Olivia and I were speechless in that last scene. Now that she's got her Mama back, what does she do with her?

November 14 Episode

First I just want to say that Shonda Rhimes needs to go ahead and program all of ABC's shows. Their ratings would go through the roof, I'm telling you.

But last night was heart stopping as per usual. Murder, mayhem. Just the way I like it.

First, Mama Pope is so deep down in the dungeon it took Eli half an hour to get to her. What? She's been down there all these years! What kind of motherfucker is Eli? Well we know he's the most dangerous person on the planet. The President can't even stop him. I think keeping girlfriend in the dungeon is worse that having her killed. Why did he need to do this? Let's see what Shonda has up her sleeve for her. I know she's got to make good use of Khandi Alexander.

I can't believe that Fitz didn't know that Eli was Liv's father. When he said he distanced himself from that situation, he really meant it.

Next, Fitz' rapist Daddy. We knew his Daddy was an asshole, but a rapist, too. WTF. I was actually feeling sorry for Mellie. Screaming at the TV wondering why she wasn't screaming to the high heavens. But her ass was plotting. Even as she was being raped. How to use the rape as a bargaining chip. SMH. Gotta give it to her she worked it that next morning. Look up Blind Ambition in the dictionary and you will find a picture of Mellie.

Now we understand why she has no feelings for their oldest child. That's probably Fitz' Daddy's baby. I'm throwing up a little in my mouth at the thought.

Then there's Quinn. I wanted to blame it all on Huck for creating a monster, but she was turned to the dark side when she was snatched out of that hotel room some time back and started learning the inner workings of fixing scandals. That shit is down and dirty. Now she's got the taste of blood and can't be stopped. Didn't she think for a minute that there would be cameras in the lobby? Damn. Her blood lust got the best of her and now she's caught up in the B316 net. Her ass will be in a dungeon soon enough.

There are so many story lines in Shonda's shows. Another character that's going to get caught up and he doesn't even know it, is the Vice President's husband. He thinks he's slick. Oh, "Honey, I'll be good and keep my hands to myself." He doesn't even like girls. But Mellie's ass is on to him. She and Cyrus are going to set him up good.

It's about to be on and crackalackin"!
