Ready to wear the White HatTM again, Olivia wants to be your star.
She wants to put the right man in the White House.
Doesn’t make sense?

I think it is.
Girl isn’t wrong.
If the electors choose Cyrus, hewillbe president.
Fitz tells her that she deserved the win, but you know what?
Maybe she didn’t.
Good thing he has the consolation prize of likely being the next POTUS.
She tells Mellie that she expected more out of her.
to tell Olivia that maybe they should just let the electoral college decide.
It sounds dangerously similar to our current world, but with not quite as much at stake.
Anyway, in the White House, apparently FBI Director Angela is on sleepover status with Fitz.
Oh, Angela, if you only knew, girl.
Does that sound absurd?
But Olivia can’t be swayed.
Olivia calls Mellie to chastise her, but Mellie had nothing to do with it.
Neither did Liz North.
So… who was it?
Olivia thinks it was Rowan, since she ignored his demands to stop her campaign against Mellie.
With enough goading from Olivia, Fitz decides to visit bearded Cyrus at his hotel room.
They share some drinks before Fitz jumps into the casual topic of “how was prison?”
That’s when Cyrus jumps into the stories of being jumped and left for dead in prison.
Fitz finally apologizes and says, “Do you remember what I gave you in the hospital?
The night of the assassination?
You know, in the same way that someone might give you a birthday present.
It’s the most incredible posturing on the death of a president that I’ve ever seen.
I’M NOT KIDDING, GUYS.
Portia de Rossi (and her asymmetrical haircut) are dead.
Jake promises to protect Mellie while Olivia tries to figure out what to do next.
He wants to initiate the buck on Rowan, but Olivia isn’t having it.
Fitz says he won’t stand for it because he’ll lose her.
As the day arrives for the electorate vote, Fitz does what he wants.
He sends that clueless FBI director on assignment to another state.
But you know what will be awkward?
When they show up to the White House to find Rowan there.
Mellie is mortified by it all, but Olivia and Fitz are pretty jazzed.
So jazzed that Olitz is 100 percent back on kisses, sex, and all.
