Lauren lets it out to Mellie that Fitz has a phone meeting…and catch Mellie’s reaction. Mellie’s convinced that it could only mean one thing – Olivia Pope.
Mellie: He places the calls himself? There’s no phone logs?
Mellie turns to the person who she thinks can fix this – Cyrus.
Cyrus is already in the middle of a sweet victory in his Operation Sarah Stanner campaign. He has the support of senators backing Fitz’s SCOTUS nominee pick – scandal be damned!
Cyrus: We just pushed this nomination through?
Cyrus could care less about Mellie, Olivia and Fitz because he finally has something he sees that could win back Fitz’s trust. Cyrus came through for Fitz and he’s not here for the melodrama surrounding Mellie and Fitz.
Mellie: What are we celebrating?
The Shade While Smiling was in FULL effective in that room directed to Mellie. Damn!
WOW!
Mellie to Cyrus: He’s calling her again. He’s sleeping with her again.
Cyrus: I don’t have time for this.
I know getting involved has never gotten me anywhere.
I don’t have time to listen to this, because I’m back in his good graces, Mellie. So where your husband is dipping his signing pen these days isn’t my primary concern. — while you may be wandering out in the White House version of a Siberian work camp, I’m curled up by the fire inside.
Great Scandal moment, wasn’t it?
Thoughts? Sound off Gladiators!
