Scandal Season 6 Episode 1 Watch
KERRY WASHINGTON
Knock me into the Potomac and telephone call me Amanda Tanner! Scandal is dorsum.
I'll exist joining you as your addict this season, and together we'll make certain it's handled. Through the Christmas episode abortions, the hooch in the dresser drawer, and the botched elections, we're here at the terminate of the well-nigh cool election since… well, let's just stick with fiction. We open with Quinn and Huck trekking through the woods together, talking nigh marriage and looking for an unnamed adult female, but when they get to the cabin she would be staying in, the motel blows up. Permit'southward simply say that it'south probably off-white to say Amanda and this lady take something in common.
But of course, we don't get answers immediately because we have to throw back to the night earlier… Ballot Night, as get out polls are coming in. Remember when exit polls were fun to watch? What a time. Surprisingly, it appears that the election is coming down to California, which seems to exist leaning in Mellie'southward favor, but it all depends on San Benito County. Mellie's camp seems pretty excited, but all of a sudden, information technology falls into Frankie Vargas' court. Olivia downs a glass of liquor, and Mellie falls back on the promise that at that place was voter tampering going on in San Benito.
Meanwhile, Jake's wife/best new character Vanessa is getting toasted on the couch, which feels super relatable on TGIT, am I right? Jake is nowhere to be found, and Olivia is pushing Mellie in the management of having her concede. Mellie'southward determined that four,000 votes aren't plenty to end it, simply Olivia demands she make the call. Olivia coaches her through information technology with cues on notepads, and it's painful, because how much has Mellie earned this? Yes, Frankie is great and fun and charming, but he has Cyrus in tow, and Mellie actually had earned it.
Fortunately, Mellie and Olivia retreat to a bathtub, fully clothed, to drink victory champagne, now being used to nurse their loss. Every bit they mourn, they hear cries from the main room. Running in, they reporter on tv set announces that President-elect Vargas has been shot. Information technology's too, too much. They find the shooter, and Fitz is immediately briefed. Strangely enough, Jake is immediately by his side, and you lot have to wonder if his quick absence makes more than sense considering of it.
Abby heads to the hospital to start calling the shots on who tin can be around as PEOTUS Vargas is existence operated on. The lead agent attempts to put Abby in her place, but she shuts that down Existent quick because this is her business firm… at least for a few more than months. Of grade, in the backwash, Olivia and staff are trying to pull the pieces together. Every bit the residual of the staff waits at OPA, practically considering Vargas dead, Olivia is coaching Marcus through reporting the news on Frankie. He was hit 3 times: once in the arm, one time in the stomach, and the 3rd went into his brain. And with that last shot, Frankie Vargas, PEOTUS of Shondaland, dies.
Of course, in the sadness of the moment, nosotros have to turn back to the politics of it all: Who will be President at present? David Rosen explains that while it could very well be Cyrus, it could also exist a number of other people. Speaking of a number of people… we still don't have much detail on who killed Frankie Vargas, which leads Olivia to Rowan's part. He admits he didn't kill Vargas, but when he sets into a lecture near why Olivia lost the ballot, he reveals that Cyrus likely paid off the assassin who took Vargas out. He besides reveals that he offered Olivia San Benito County, and she turned it downward because who needs a double Defiance on their hands? Olivia heads back to OPA with Huck and Quinn to review the tapes to see that Cyrus did step away from Frankie right before the gunshots, every bit if whatsoever of us are shocked that Cyrus would maim a human being for the presidency.
NEXT: Does Mellie want the job?
Olivia takes the news to Mellie, who says, "These people." Raise a chicken leg to this girl, considering we get it, Mellie. She immediately dismisses the notion that she'd go for the Oval in the confront of Frankie's expiry. But Olivia is non washed with information technology, because she's a professional business lady. Yous know who else is a professional business lady? Abby. That's why she blocks Frankie's wife from calling their children, because the White Firm has to decide how to move forward. When y'all work for the government, you don't get to exist a human… or fifty-fifty a Tide to Go pen. Poor Mama Vargas. Fitz has to cull a president considering Vargas is dead, but according to Fitz, he'due south not expressionless until he says he'south expressionless… which is non how scientific discipline works, but Olivia was also kept in that red dungeon for, like, 5 episodes, so who are we to start calling shots at present?
Olivia shows upwardly at the Oval, fix to convince Fitz to choose Mellie for the presidency, and that's when she drops the assassination-sized bomb that Cyrus hired out to kill Frankie. Without proof, though, Fitz isn't willing to make a move. Instead, he gives Olivia until morning to figure it out. Huck, Quinn, and Charlie hop on the case, investigating the man who shot Frankie. But on the White House terrace, Fitz finds Mellie, who apologizes for all the resentment she had for Fitz. In the way Bellamy Young shines best, she goes into a full-blown monologue that amounts to her admitting Fitz was never weak… he only wasn't power hungry.
That's when he reveals to Mellie that he has to cull, and the choice is incommunicable. Cyrus and Mellie both bankrupt the law to get him there (well, arguably, Cyrus a trivial bit more because… assassinations), only he tin simply cull one. He tells Mellie that if she doesn't desire it, she can tell him in secrecy, and no one will always know. But Mellie confirms that she does want it: that rare air. And you lot deserve it, sister friend. Through the cereal and rogue-son-killings and the infidelity. You lot deserve it.
The OPA staff can't find any evidence connecting Cyrus to the assassination, simply Olivia is not convinced — so much so that she scream speeches at the whole room. So Olivia does what she does best: handles it herself. She meets up with Abby on her way to Cyrus, only when she gets there, she's shocked at what she finds: a blood-soaked Cyrus, absolutely stunned past everything that has transpired. It leads her back to the White House, where she apologizes to Fitz.
Fitz heads to the hospital to meet upwards with Cyrus and tells him that if he will uphold the legacy of Francisco Vargas and be better than either of them ever were earlier, he will let Cyrus Beene to be president. Cyrus. Beene. Is president. Marcus meets Mellie the next forenoon to give her the news, and she's conspicuously heartbroken. At OPA, Charlie and Quinn are talking about taking off on vacation. That'south when Huck steps in every bit professional person police and announces that this isn't for personal matters, unless they're interested in getting married. That'south when Charlie proposes to Quinn.
Of course, as that transpires, Huck discovers one deleted voicemail the team didn't get over. Information technology'due south from a Vargas campaign staffer named Jennifer Fields, who lives in a cabin deep in the wood… think that cabin? It'south the aforementioned 1 that blew up, and when Quinn and Huck get back from the site, Quinn says yeah to Charlie's proposal and that voicemail is revealed. Olivia goes to the White House to offer her condolences to Cyrus, simply as she leans in, we hear that voicemail: Jennifer confirms that Cyrus is the one who killed Vargas. And Olivia vows to Cyrus that she'll prove it. Lord exist.
How many times tin can one person audibly gasp during an episode? Enough to nearly hyperventilate, per my count. What did you think of the episode, and practice yous think Cyrus will e'er be proven guilty in the killing of that hunk of a president, Francisco Vargas? Residue in peace, sweet prince. We'll honor your name every Th at 9 p.thou. /eight p.m. Cardinal when Scandal returns.
