Scandal “Nobody Likes Babies”

So Pope Associate’s is trying to figure out who tried to kill the President. It wasn’t Hollis and Olivia figures out it was Verna. They know that David has the memory card that proves the election was rigged. Abby steps up and steals it from him after sleeping with him. Cyrus comes clean to his partner about it all but is could be a bad thing because he says he has been indicted and will tell the truth so what does Cyrus do, send someone to kill him. In the end Cyrus does the right thing and tells the shooter not to kill him, which was a good call because he doesn’t tell the truth in court anyway.

The episode ends with Verna’s funeral and it shows her telling Fitz the truth about the rigging. He in turn kills her so she won’t tell David. He then tells Olivia not to wait for him and go with Edison, which is a little late for that advice because she already broke it off with Edison.

The quote I loved from the episode was when Olivia was breaking up with Edison:

Olivia: I don't want normal, and easy, and simple. I want..
Edison: What? What do you want, Olivia?
Olivia: I want painful, difficult, devastating, life-changing, extraordinary love. Don't you want that, too?
Edison: Love is not supposed to be painful or devastating. Love isn't supposed to hurt, Liv.

I love that because her mind is so messed up from being with Fitz that I think she really thinks she deserves to be second choice and a secret. I love Edison for loving her enough to tell her she deserves more. She shouldn’t be in pain or sad and if she is then that isn’t love. The episode ends with Fitz kissing Mellie and telling her it is him and her no one else...
