Scandal’s new theme is ‘doing what is right’ – or at least trying to anyway.
Heres our review…
Sure, doing the right thing doesnt come so naturally to most of theScandalcast.
The characters we have loved have all gone sour.
However, as the season has progressed, the gladiators seem to have found some level ground.
In doing what is right.
They make Huck, Rowan, and Jake combined look like amateurs.
He warned her against it, begged her to reconsider.
But Olivia was too focused on doing the right thing.
Cyrus went free and only wanted to be president to put forth Frankies agenda.
However, Mellie was not so interested in Olivias atonement.
Her shot at the Oval was too close for her to let it go without a fight.
Well, it turned out that she didnt really have to fight that hard.
And, what did Liz get for her dedication?
A whack in the head.
Or multiple whacks, I might say.
David Rosens new girlfriend (aka, Peus mystery woman sidekick) killed Elizabeth right in front of Mellie.
The scene was graphic as the blood splattered across Mellies clothes and face.
It was a show of power and if Mellie spoke any language…it was power.
They laid their claim on her.
They told her she would be president.
And president she became.
Mellie immediately called Liv who then brought Jake along to clean up the mess.
Jakes calm and confidence was enough to put my mind at ease.
Mostly because it would mean losing her forever.
Woah, did we just have a Olitz moment?
Yes, yes we did.
He would protect Rowan for Olivias sake.
They would have to take down Peus from the inside.
Next week, all ofScandals lead characters band together and begin their takedown of Peus.
Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye tonight to regular cast member Elizabeth North (Portia de Rossi).
But, I have a horrible feeling that this bloodshed is only the beginning.
