The Story This is a short episode and my apologies for that #Gladiator fam. Quinn is prosecuted by David as Lindsay Dwyer for killing Jessie Tyler (whom she did not kill). The plea that David wanted Olivia to  take for Quinn, which she did not take.  I thought Olivia was going to slap hot fire out of David's mouth. Fitz exploded on Mellie this episode because she tried to manipulate him into going to war in E. Sudan. I had it in for Fitz this episode because I think he needs to grow a pair and stop letting the people around him run his life and make choices for him.  Life would be so much easier if he did that. David lost the case against Quinn and almost had a 1/2 baby--(giggles) and I was there for that. Hollis Doyle is a sneaky and wants to profit off of the potential war in E. Sudan and Mellie realizes that her contribution to this White House has been significantly diminished and she's dissatisfied with that. Oh yeah & Steven's gone Check out the audio!

On this episode of the #ScandalRewind Series, I'm joined by Eric Knight from BoxingwithGod.com and Miranda Wicker from TVFanatic.com and NotSuperJustMom.com .    Click the image to watch the hangout. Quotable Moments for the Hell Hath No Fury Episode Questions from the Hell Hath No Fury Episode & Future Season Predictions Why has Harrison turned into a yes man in season 2?  Why is he faithful like a dog?  Unquestioning and loyal. Did the set for OPA change from seasons one to two? Season 3, the case of the week format should come back because they got away from that a lot and focused more on Olivia's life and Defiance. Next season they're going to have Edison run against Fitz.  He'll get married to a woman with great arms and Olivia is going to be jealous because she'll have no one. Start with the primaries and give Sally more screen time to try to wrestle the candidacy from Fitz.  To try to get the party to not go with the incumbent and give them another option.

On this episode of the Scandal Podcast, I went renegade solo!  No really there were a few glitches and this episode I was a panelist of one.  This was different, and I got a chance to get over my video issues (same issues I had when I started podcasting).  You can do something a million times but when you are doing it again for the first time on your own platform, it's always a challenge.  [ Click the image to watch the video ] Cases Chief Justice Patrick Keating -there's a conflict with his nomination, he's been accused of using heaux to get his jollies off.  Keating is like, nawl I don't love no heaux, lol.  Turns out it's his wife. DC Madam Sharon Marquette who is going to be charged for running a stable of heaux. The cases intersected because the Chief Justice nominee is married to a woman who used to work for Sharon but they didn't figure out this part of the "scandal" until mid episode.   Favorite quotes this episode: Guess What else happened on Dirty Little Secrets Maybe I was wrong about Abby having a crush on Steven, I stand corrected. Amanda Tanner closed the door in Olivia's face (how rude).  Quinn was all questioning after Olivia tells her to write her number on her business card and slide it under the door.  The moment that Olivia said to her, "I know because I'm good at my job" and they gave that slow motion video of her walking away from Quinn, hair blowing in the breeze like a Pantene commercial.  Awesome. The Savvy Madam goes to jail but still refuses to give up her client list. Sharon asks Olivia why she left the White House, which sets that question for the viewer to look at OPA and wonder if they have that same question. All the DC influencers that have used Sharon over the years helps leverage the playing field and stop the case against Sharon as well as pushing through the confirmation for Keeting. Cy is the King of Mean Cy is fed up with Fitz and wants to know what happened between Olivia and Fitz. Predictions We talked about predictions on the last panel and it was batted around that Mellie may run against Fitz for  season 3, but what if Mellie demanded to be his VP for the ticket?  Now that would be hot, [ GRANT & GRANT ] people!  If that happened, Fitz would have to take her political agenda seriously.
