10 Things on my mind after Scandal Episode “A Woman Scorned”

Hmmmmmmm. *blank stare* I need help. Seriously. *singing* Jesus take the wheel!!!!!!!! I need a hedge of protection!!!!! Shonda…….WHY?!?!?!? If you are going to give me everything, give it to me early in the day so I can have time to come down. I’m so throwed off right now I feel like taking a run…..at 11:00 at night. I’m shaking and fidgeting! I’m rocking back and forth in my chair like Miss Sophia at the dinner table in the Color Purple while looking for my Florida Evans punch bowl! (Damn! Damn! DAMN!!!!) This can NOT be healthy behavior!!!!! *sigh* However, the show must go on so let’s get to it:

10. 752: It’s not just a number, it’s a way of life: So my friends all know that I am a HUGE fan of one President Fitzgerald Grant and Tony Goldwyn. I will admit that Fitz was kinda ticking me off while he was showing out with Liv, but I stuck with him when everyone else deserted him. Now that he has regained his form, everybody who jumped ship is now trying to get back in. Man, Y’ALL WEREN’T WITH US SHOOTING IN THE GYM!!! (Shout out to Drake LOL). I take it all in stride however. Whenever they come around I merely state “Keep yourself safe. #752″ and things gets cleared up right away. They know what it means

9. What’s your end game Charlie?: Sooooooo Charlie is a very accomplished contract killer yet he is watching the room he is sitting in on Jake’s cameras yet doesn’t corrupt the footage of him being there before leaving. I can only assume that he wanted Jake to see him watching him. The question is: why? Charlie was a member of B613 just like Huck and the only way to “leave” is to fall off the grid. I’m sure they aren’t letting their operatives do freelance work so my guess is that things are about to get interesting. OAN: Charlie you can’t be that good if Huck keeps getting the opportunity to torture you. I’m just saying you might wanna lay off the cannolis and HIDE!!!!!!

8. Class Dismissed: Oh Jake. Poor Jake. You overstepped your bounds in what Fitz asked you to do and now you’ve been dismissed. You’re on cleanup! Doors being closed in your face. Mr. President shows up and dismisses you as if you were nothing while he goes in to be with the woman you like. If you had stayed away from her as instructed, I think you could have gotten out of this unscathed. However, you have made an enemy of one person that you shouldn’t have: Cyrus. I’d bet my last dollar that Cyrus is going to tell Fitz what you did and then I have one word for you: DRONES. Sucks to be you.

7. Don’t mistake a weasel for a mole: I know one could be led to believe that Cyrus is the mole. However, it just doesn’t make sense! Cyrus has literally killed people to protect this presidency. He is not going to sell secrets to terrorists in an effort to destroy it. Uh uh. Nope. Not even gon’ do it! If he were, he could have done it NUMEROUS times before now: Defiance, Amanda Tanner, Billy Chambers, his husband, Hollis, David Rosen. Anyone of these people could have brought down the administration. Not to mention he knows that Fitz sent ole Verna to the UPPER ROOOOOOOOOOM!!!! (Put me in e-flat).  Naw…….. Cyrus is a weasley little something but he isn’t the mole.

6. No honor amongst thieves: There is nothing on this earth like rats fighting over some cheese but that’s what we have here. Charlie and Jake are watching each other, both looking like Cheshire cats. Do you guys know each other? Cyrus and Mellie have EPIC battles. Their relationship is like nothing I have ever seen. Cyrus and Liv are friends but even Liv is not immune from Cyrus and his homicidal tendencies although I don’t think he was going to kill Liv. Cyrus won’t get his hands dirty like that.

5. What would you do for a closet full of suits?: LOL This one right here!!!!! WOW! Shonda you threw everybody a curve ball with this one. The most traumatizing thing for me about that scene was…….Cyrus’ legs. Do they not still sell spray tan in a can? Someone needs a vacation on a beach. Anywhoo……back to James. So James could drive all the way to the White House to get permission to accept a job, do something strange for a closet full of suits yet you couldn’t tell Cyrus that you’re interviewing the First Lady? I know you weren’t the original person she had in mind but dang……you can’t call nobody?????? Tsk tsk James. I think you know more about what’s going then you let on. Or maybe someone is using you to get to Cyrus. But who hates Cyrus like that? Half of Washington? Pretty much but my bet is on Sally Langston. He went in on old girl like a BOSS!!

4. R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Mellie you need to get you some for yourself honey!!! Big Fitz purchased you for his son at a doggone Fire sale and now you’re scorned?? HOW?!?!? Ma’am you entered into a loveless, political marriage for the power. He fell in love with someone else and now you’re trying to turn this farce into something it never was….even in the beginning??? AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!!! You are the poster child for people (both men AND women) who don’t know how to let go. LET GO!!!!! I know you love him but like the song says “I can’t make you love me if you don’t”. Have some respect about yourself and do what you need to do for your own happiness instead of spending your time trying to make sure that everyone else is miserable. Hal’s old snitching tail seems to have a jones for you. It might work out but don’t act like Fitz turned into someone you didn’t recognize. He was who you THOUGHT he was! You’ve been a wifestress in name only since the day you got married. It is what it is.

3. Cyrus Beene: Track Star: Somebody call Usain Bolt baby cause Cyrus bout to give him a run for his money. LOL Cyrus has had to catch out in his hush puppies in both seasons of scandal LOL There is nothing like a cold- blooded killer streaking through a tunnel like a train. YES Ms. Cyrus!!!

2. I’ll never look at a clock the same way again: Enough said. Moving on.

1. He had me at Hi: Since when did a simple “Hi” evoke all kinds of emotion from deep in your body?!?Fitz…………. Lord Have mercy. (I want to take this opportunity to shout out my peeps….. The Scandal-US group on facebook. They let me work all my aggression out so that I can write these blogs LOL ) Fitz, you got turned all the way up this episode and regained your swagger! My goodness! I might need someone to turn the hose on me because Fitz does things to me!!! THIS GIRL IS ON FIYAH!!!!! LOL Fitz had to be putting it all the way down for a black woman to let her tracks get wet like that! #TeamOLitz

Until Next Week Gladiators!!!
