Speaking of secret marital problems: Cyrus heads home to pick up more clothes he's been secretly living in a hotel for the last three weeks since James is still mad about being lied for several years to over the Defiance, Ohio fiasco. Never fear-Fitz assures Cyrus that they can indeed fake it they've already been doing it for twenty years! Mellie looks heartbroken, but manages to tell Cyrus this: "Everyone can't have a perfect marriage like you and James." (If only she knew.) Problem is, Americans want to see a fairytale of a loved-up twosome play out right before their very eyes, but since the husband and wife hate each other, pulling this off might not be as easy as they'd like to think. It's imperative they pull this off as a believably happy-and-in-love couple-Fitz needs to announce his reelection bid in six short weeks, and this is the best way to grab headlines along with everyone's undivided attention.
The President has one more big TV appearance to make a candid primetime newtork interview alongside his long-suffering wife Mellie (the first since the birth of America's baby and his assassination attempt).

All he has to go back to is teaching not the high-powered ADA (assistant district attorney) gig he'd previously become accustomed to.įitz makes a speech: President Fitzgerald Grant holds a press conference to publicly address the CIA information leak that resulted in the supposed suicide of former CIA Director Graydon Osborne. Molly looks relieved to resume her day-to-day schedule, but David-not so much.
Time to go home: Over at Olivia Pope & Associates headquarters, the team tells David Rosen and Molly-the whistleblower on Osborne-that they're free to go back home to their respective lives now that the mole is dead. They don't find any, but that's only because clever Jake knows their schedule he now removes the bugs before the search, and replaces them immediately after. (Can't be too careful!) Since Quinn is his new protege, she comes along to help with the search. It's sweeps day: Every third Wednesday of every month, Huck heads over to Olivia's apartment to look for bugs. Here's everything you need to know to get caught up! This title might be a bit misleading-Olivia and Huck are in grave danger, too.
