Yeah, its insane.
Charlie, Quinn, and Rowan are playing a very strange game of house at Rowans place.
Of course, its all for the greater good, but Olivia?

Well, all she can see is betrayal and revenge.
Olivia has one week to announce her resignation before Mellie announces it for her…as a termination.
Thats when Vanessa pops back up.
What hole have you been hiding in?
Oh, David, someones been watching the alternate-world news.
But Rowan reminds her that Olivia is the one who makes the news and twists the headlines.
And at OPA-turned-QPA-turned-Charlie-Keeping-a-Secret-and-Associates, a State Department employee shows up with a crisis.
He attempts to call Olivia, but shes busy drinking straight whiskey.
Wheres the popcorn, girl?
It looks like she phreaked the system and no, thats not misspelled.
Its like old-school hacking.
Jake tells Mellie that hell get Olivia under control, but shes not as convinced.
You see, Mellie is over being underestimated.
That comes to a head when Cyrus assumes that Jake leveraged his way into the chief of staff position.
Mellie is alsooverbeing made out to be a victim.
Then again, you know, do you.
Actually, no, dont do you.
Because just moments later, Rowan is threatening Quinns baby.
But thats to make a point: She cant force him to take Olivia down because Olivia ishisbaby.
But it turns out that hes not treasonous as much as hes just a cheater.
Robert is having an affair, and hed like to keep it to himself, you know?
Jake hangs up because Liv needs to chill.
She wants a mammogram.
So today, all Mellie wants is that damn mammogram.
Olivia tries to explain herself as moral and just, which is honestly just insane at this point.
At Rowans place, Quinn is having a hard time swallowing this business of letting Olivia run free.
Olivia will always be there, with her father wrapped around her finger.
So instead, Quinn suggests that she leave with Charlie and the baby.
Of course, shes given Mellie time to do PR for herself in the meantime.
That Olivia Pope is a real gemstone.
He gets close to finally announcing the truth but decides to run off.
You see, according to Rowan, Quinn left with Charlie an hour ago.
That leads us to Olivia, and yall, you know this is where s hits the fan.
Olivia walks in and hears a baby crying, and you might see the terror in Livs face.
When Olivia leans down, Quinn announces herself and says that shed like for Olivia to see her goddaughter.
And Quinn suggests the former, in case she loses her admirable self-control.
This time its not.
A gun fires, and Olivia is hit.
Blood is spilled all over her white blouse.
She tells Quinn to get the baby and get out.
Mellie truly thinks her time is up.
Give him back his BONES?
The bones is B613!
I get it, Im sorry, Im doing my best.
He embraces Olivia and gives a speech about how dinosaurs have died protecting their own.
The next day, Olivias public statement is still scheduled.
As Stand By Me begins to play, Olivia issues her resignation.
Cyrus is broken, again.
Jake is boxing up his stuff until he sees his system come back online.
And of course, in the Oval, Mellie looks on with her presidency still intact.
Olivia is working toward getting that white hat, and there may just be a chance for her still.
