The last first glass of red wine.
The last first gasp when Huck does something absolutely insane.
Its the last first episode of a season ofScandalbecause this is the final season.
And man, its going to be a big one…I can feel it.
Last season was a journey, but we made it to the other side.
Whos more used to living with a government rife with, well,scandal?
Well, shes wearing a little bit of both blackandwhite these days.
He immediately calls out the blackmail, but Olivia says, Mine!
Whats she talking about?
What world this could ever happen in?
For the record, its hers.
So theyre in business.
While QPA thrives, Olivia invites her father to dinner, wheresheselects the wine andshetries the first glass.
Lets take a minute to acknowledge, clear as day: Girlfriend is full-blown NUTS right now.
In response, all Liv has to say is, Watch me.
Meanwhile, at QPA (honestly, Ikind oflove that?
), the team is getting to work going over security footage for that missing-dad case.
(Also, did you forget Quinn was pregnant?
Because I definitely did.)
She calls the shots, and its borderline intimidating.
Olivia is against it because while shes down with killing Luna Vargas, she isnotchill with killing random Americans.
But thats what Command does, you know?
Everyone is thirsty these days.
Back at QPA, the team finds out that the missing dad is a spy.
Quinn is ready to accept his fate, but Huck isnt.
Jake doesnt like it because Olivia is supposed to be building B613 back, but she isnt interested.
Olivia isnt interested in anyones feedback.
Hesnotpleased, and hes ready to meet with that senator.
Meanwhile, the Bashrami ambassador shuts Mellie down because apparently being president is harder than she anticipated.
And you know what?
It seems genuinely sincere.
When Olivia argues against him, Mellie shuts her down and Olivia is SHOOK.
Huck has his sights on essentially ababy.
She starts counting down from five.
They have to get the votes for free college because these kidsdeservefree college.
Its so important that we get a CyrusScandalspeech!
Its a pretty happy episode, yall!
Captured spies come home alive.
Cyrus stays with Mellie.
The White House secures enough votes for free college, and hey!
The Rangerettes have someone to look up to!
Donotlisten to somemanbefore Olivia, because Olivia is a BOSS.
Not a boss THE boss.
Pay attention to her and Mellie becomes a monument.
Ignore her and she becomes an asterisk.
Oh, Mellie, make a good choice.
Because,GOD, if you havent picked it up yet: Olivia makes the rules, because Olivia.
Stand in the sun with me every Thursday.
Hold my hand and lets talk on Twitter.
And when you let that popcorn settle, Ill see you back until we finish this season.
Off a cliff, right?
