Scandal “The Last Supper” Recap

November 30, 2014 by 2 Comments

Jake (Scott Foley), Olivia (Kerry Washington) and Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) finally come to an agreement about how to handle Rowan (Joe Morton) and Jake gives up the files he has been hiding.

Meanwhile, Olivia gets a new client in Elizabeth North (Portia de Rossi). I like that they agree not to like each other and stick to the job at hand. Olivia is wearing the Check Peplum Jacket from The Limited. It is sold out online, but you can still find it here on eBay.

In a sudden turn of events, Vice-President Nichols (Jon Tenney) is almost killed in a car explosion which is rumored to have been set by West Angolian terrorists. Mellie (Bellamy Young) is overcome with emotions and breaks all her rules to have sex with Andrew.

Olivia, Fitz (Tony Goldwyn), and Jake (Scott Foley) decide to bring David Rosen (Joshua Malina) into the take B613 down club to have him help prosecute Eli (Joe Morton). Fitz is pleased that even though Olivia is with Jake, that he still has her number. Olivia isn’t that excited about it though.

Huck (Guillermo Diaz) and Quinn (Katie Lowes) are on the case of Elizabeth North’s bugged phone, which they are able to pin to Cyrus (Jeff Perry). Olivia confronts him and he tells her the whole story about Michael (Matthew del Negro) and how he has to find out what Elizabeth has on him. Cyrus tries to convince Olivia to help him instead of Elizabeth. Olivia wears a sold-out Ralph Lauren Collection Marielle Drape-Panel Coat. This Tommy Bahama Woodley’ Sweater Coat ($298) is similar:

Ralph Lauren shawl coat

Cyrus is pretty upset about the whole situation and tries to avoid Michael to no avail. Huck tells Olivia that Michael did have access to Cyrus’ personal information, but never shared it with Elizabeth. For some reason he was loyal to Cyrus. Olivia wore a sold out Long Sleeve Blouse in Ivory by Derek Lam. This Vince Camuto Long Sleeve V-Neck Blouse w/ Inverted Front Pleat ($79) is similar:

derek lam

Olivia confronts Michael and he leads her to Elizabeth’s private apartment which Huck is able to bug and stake out. Olivia wears an Alexander McQueen Herringbone-Boucle Cossack Coat (sold out). This Princess Seam Wool Coat ($59.99) is similar:

alexander mcqueen

The scene between Mellie and Andrew was so sweet and then he had to go and ruin it by sleeping with Elizabeth North. Quinn’s stakeout ended up overlapping into Huck’s stakeout which he brought his son on. This turns into a disaster with his son witnessing him murder Kubiak.

Olivia tries to trick her father into having dinner as a distractions so she can get the upper hand. She can’t take command and Rowan ends up killing the president’s strike team. He cuts her off and tells her that he will no longer help her and that he is leaving. He has also got the upper hand on David Rosen making sure that all the files are blank.

That was a pretty dramatic episode, but this seems to be the one relationship Olivia can’t “handle.”

Revenge “Ambush” Recap

November 28, 2014 by Leave a Comment

This week’s episode starts out with a little teaser of Victoria’s (Madeline Stowe) possible demise then flashes back 20 hours to see Emily (Emily VanCamp) breaking into the beach house in search of evidence. She is desperately trying to find out what happened to her father over the past 12 years.

Daniel (Josh Bowman) is feeling nostalgic and looking at old pictures from his wedding with Emily. He’s with Margaux (Karine Vanesse) now and concerned that she is spending too much time with crazy Louise (Elena Satine). Margaux wore a Herve Leger Printed Jacquard Sheath Dress ($1,740). I found this similar Line Jacquard Cap-Sleeve Dress ($69.50):

herve leger jacquard

Daniel pays a visit to Victoria to finally confront her about Emily being Amanda. It’s funny that everyone finally knows the truth. Daniel is taking it much better than I thought he would. He makes a good point about keeping David (James Tupper) in the dark.

David goes to see Emily without knowing who she really is. I can’t get over why she doesn’t just tell him the truth. It is sort of annoying. She gives him a little tidbit about Amanda’s baby shower which makes him question Victoria’s motives.

In other news, Margaux and Louise play tennis at the club and hit the sauna. All is going well until crazy Louise hallucinates her mother and decides to lock Margaux in the sauna and turn up the heat.

Victoria meets with an old friend who ended up buying most of her things at auction. The real reason Victoria met with her was to retrieve a necklace that I can only assume has some sort of sentimental value. Victoria stuns in a sold out Michael Kors Cobalt Cap Sleeve Dress. This Ralph Lauren Faux Wrap Jersey Dress ($134)  is a great match:

Michael Kors wrap dress

Two of my favorite scenes from the entire series happen next! The first, with Emily and Daniel. They finally have a real conversation and I think he finally understands and appreciates Amanda for who she is. That was about four years in the making. The second was Victoria in the strip club. I never would have pictured her in there, but seeing her put the necklace in the stripper’s garter was priceless. There are no limits to what she will do to protect herself.

Nolan (Gabriel Mann) finally meets Louise at the club while he is hiding out from the press. She might be one of my favorite new characters. What I would do for her bank account and wardrobe…must be nice! She wore a sold out Donna Karan Canvas Dress. This Tracy Reese Sleeveless Knit Sheath Dress ($298) is similar:

donna karan

Nolan takes Louise’s advice to heart and decides to buy the beach club. In the meantime, Margaux confronts Daniel about Louise and realizes that he slept with her.

Emily finds out that David had been spying on Amanda and is distraught that he never came for her. She finally reveals who she is…THANK GOD! Before they can reconnect Victoria gets struck by lightening ending the episode. Dum Dum Dum! I don’t think Emily/Amanda was too upset by that. She is wearing a sold out Dip Dye Wool-Cashmere Sweater by Vince. This Calvin Klein Dip dye Ombre Soft Cotton Sweater ($79.50) is similar:

vince dip dye

I can’t wait to see how David handles having Amanda back in his life and what will happen next.

The Good Wife “Red Zone” Recap

November 26, 2014 by Leave a Comment

This episode kicks off with a focus group led by Alicia’s (Julianna Marguiles) campaign manager, Johnny Elfman (Steven Pasquale). Eli (Alan Cumming) doesn’t seem too happy with the results and tries to get Alicia to participate. Alicia on the other hand is busy working and dealing with a visit from her brother Owen (Dallas Roberts) who we last saw leaving Alicia’s oppo research meeting in a huff. Alicia wears a Grommet Jacket by Andrew GN (sold out). I found a similar Grommet Jacket from White House Black Market ($130):

grommet jacket

Owen has come to Alicia with a case regarding a college student who was raped. She is going up in front of the university judicial board and needs an advocate. Alicia agrees to spend some time helping out with the case. In the meantime, Cary’s (Matt Czuchry) case isn’t looking so good and Diane (Christine Baranski) wants him to think about taking a plea. Diane wore the Max Mara Crusca Wool Jersey Dress (sold out). This BCBGMaxAzria Roxie Front Tuck Pleat Long-Sleeve Dress ($110.60) is similar:

max mara

Alicia has to get creative in dealing with her case and the university’s hearing process. She decides to bring a lawsuit against the school for failing to properly hear the case. No wonder most people don’t come forward in these situations, it would be awful to have to defend yourself like that. In court Alicia wore a grey and white print blazer. I found this similar Neiman Marcus Animal-Print Linen-Cotton Jacket ($96):

neiman marcus

I’ll give you one guess as to who her opposing council is…Louis Canning (Michael J. Fox) for the university. After court, Alicia meets Finn (Matthew Goode) at a food pantry which turns out to be a disaster when the press implies that she was only doing it to get a good photo.

In Cary’s camp, he is getting vetted by Viola Walsh (Rita Wilson) who is one of my favorites. She looks fabulous in a leopard print coat. I hope I look that good at 58! I found this similar Leopard Blazer ($49):

leopard blazer

Diane advises him to get his head in the game so he breaks the rules and pays a surprise visit to Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) and calls her out on sleeping with her FBI agent friend. She tells him that she wants to see other people and he tells her to go to hell. I never understand Kalinda’s character. She doesn’t seem to really care about anyone and has no personal relationships.

Back in court, Alicia’s not getting very far against Louis Canning. She wore the sold out Dan Jacket and Tweed Pencil Skirt from No. 35. I thought this Halogen One-Button Peplum Jacket ($82.80) was similar:

No 35

Kalinda has a break in the case and they try to get more time to turn the case into a class action. As she is leaving court, Kalinda is confronted by Lemond Bishop (Mike Colter) about her FBI girlfriend. He wants her to help him spy on her and Kalinda is reluctant to comply. I loved her blue trench in this scene and found a similar Ralph Lauren Double Breasted Skirted Trench Coat ($200):

ralph lauren

She ultimately decides against helping Bishop, probably because it would be a federal offense. Lesser of two evils I suppose, she really can’t win.

Alicia’s case finally gains traction, but the university backs down and her client doesn’t want to pursue it further. Alicia ends up doing a community service photo op controlled by Eli and it is much more successful. She realizes that he knows what the voters want and finally lets him take the lead.

What do you think will happen next? Will Cary go to prison? Will Alicia win State’s Attorney? It’s really too early to tell at this point.

You can still watch it here if you missed it.

White Collar “Borrowed Time” Recap

November 24, 2014 by Leave a Comment

So here we go, the final season of White Collar – so sad, but I can’t wait to see what Neal (Matt Bomer) and the gang will get up to in the last six episodes.

The episode kicks off with Peter (Tim DeKay) thinking that Neal ran because the FBI refused to release him. They raid his apartment, but Mozzie (Willie Garson) walks in having no idea what is happening. He comes to the conclusion that Neal must have been taken somewhere. I liked Diana’s (Marsha Thomason) polka dot blouse. I liked this Dylan Gray Polka Dot Silk Blouse ($198) for a similar look:

polka dot blouse

We find out that one of Rebecca’s (Bridget Regan) associates has taken Neal hostage to help him audition for the Pink Panthers, a world renowned group of thieves. Neal leaves clues for Peter to find him but persuades Peter to let him finish the heist in an attempt to get an even bigger score. The FBI isn’t sure they can trust him, after Mozzie pretty much admitted that they were planning to run, but they let it play out.

In the meantime, Elizabeth (Tiffani Thiessen) has moved to Washington D.C. to start her new job while Peter stays in New York. I loved her belted coat during their phone call and haven’t seen anything like it. I thought this Belted Crepe Trench Coat ($34.90) was somewhat similar:

belted coat

Neal is able to successfully audition for the Pink Panthers in a spectacular heist. He definitely has no fear! He is hoping that the Pink Panthers will be a big enough score to make a deal with the FBI for his freedom. Neal makes it back to the FBI office in time to say goodbye to Rebecca but in a shocking twist she tries to escape and the marshall has to kill her. This was so sad, especially after Neal admitted that he still had feelings for her.

After a long day, Peter heads home to find Elizabeth waiting for him with some big news! She is pregnant! She looks fabulous in a navy sheath. I found this similar Adrianna Papell Side Pleat Sheath Dress ($118):

navy sheath

Neal and Mozzie end the evening with a glass of wine on the terrace. Mozzie got to walk in Neal’s shoes at the FBI and understands why Neal stays, but he tells him that it’s all an illusion. Neal alludes to the idea that he might be after something bigger. With five episodes left who knows what he has up his sleeve?

How do you think the series will end?

If you missed this episode, you can find it on iTunes for $2.99.

Posh Picks: I Eat Glitter for Breakfast Tee

November 24, 2014 by 4 Comments

Disclosure: I received my own I Eat Glitter for Breakfast Tee for the purposes of this review. All opinions are 100% mine.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with my new Posh Picks series. If you missed my introduction, click here. Posh has added some fabulous items to their online store and I added a few new pieces to my wardrobe this month. Here’s a recap of how this works: Every month, I am going shopping at Posh and picking out something to share with you. Then Posh will offer a special discount for Detroit Duchess readers on the item. Sounds easy, right?

Posh Picks

Before I get to this month’s selection, I have to warn you that I LOVE shirts with sayings on them. I used to have quite the collection. Now I feel like it’s the hot trend to take those shirts and dress them up. When I found this shirt at Posh, I knew I had to have it.

glitter

If you’ve met me, you know that I am super girly and love everything that sparkles. This shirt was calling my name. I wore it to my flower girl’s birthday party (who’s six now-where did the time go?) this weekend. Her and her sister were dressed as Elsa and Anna, so I fit right in. (Please ignore that I took these pictures in their backyard. I am still working on my artsy fashion photo taking skills).

glitter 3

I loved that this shirt has long sleeves. I find that a lot of shirts with sayings are short sleeved and since I live in Michigan I have to stay warm.

glitter 4

I figured that I could pair this shirt up with some of my other fun statement necklaces. This would make a great brunch outfit to drink mimosas with the girls. I could also see myself dressing this down with some fun converse and a cardigan.

You can normally purchase this shirt for $29, but Detroit Duchess readers are getting 10% off until December 7! You can purchase the I Eat Glitter for Breakfast shirt here and at check out you can use the code: Glitter10.

I would love to hear how you would style this shirt in the comments.

Scandal “Baby Made a Mess” Recap

November 21, 2014 by Leave a Comment

This week’s episode of Scandal opens with Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) calling Olivia (Kerry Washington) in hopes of meeting up. She sets him straight that there is no hope for them as long as Jake (Scott Foley) is imprisoned. She lounges in Contrast Trim Silk Pajamas in Brulee/Ivory by Neiman Marcus (sold out). The Afterhours Satin Pajamas from Victoria’s Secret ($69.50) are similar:

neiman marcus pajamas

Quinn (Katie Lowes) confronts Jeremy Winslow about his daughter. She wants to know what’s going on and how Olivia is connected. Instead of giving her answers he commits suicide instead.

In the latest D.C. scandal, Senator McDonnell from Virginia is exposed with a racy video detailing his “playtime” and has to resign his seat. When taking questions from the press corps, Abby (Darby Stanchfield) finds out that Charles “Chip” Putney (Michael Trucco) is being considered to replace him, the only problem is this is Abby’s ex-husband. In case you forgot this is the guy that Olivia rescued her from after regular beatings.

Olivia is pacing trying to figure out what to do next to save Jake (Scott Foley) when Abby calls. She is falling apart over confronting Chip and Olivia is the only one who understands. Olivia comes to her rescue wearing a gorgeous white jacket with gold buttons from Prada. This Jessica Simpson coat ($115.99) is a great match especially if you replaced the buttons for gold ones.
prada

I LOVE that Olivia comes to Abby’s rescue and is determined to handle the situation. Girls gotta stick together! Enter Susan Ross (Artemis Pebdani) who is running for Virginia state senator. I just love the scene when Olivia and Quinn (Katie Lowes) come in and take over her sad excuse for a campaign. Susan is just so sweet and clueless about how the game is played and I couldn’t think of a more deserving person for Olivia to help. Olivia wears a sold-out Armani Collezioni
Ikat-Weave Jacket. This Kasper Women’s Inverted Notch Printed Flyaway Jacket ($99) is similar:

armani collezioni3

In the meantime Olivia is still working to save Jake by visiting Tom (Brian Letscher) in SuperMax to find out who really ordered him to kill the President’s son. His reaction to her was really interesting. He compared her to Helen of Troy, the face that launched 1,000 ships which is pretty close to the truth in this situation. He doesn’t give her the answers she is looking for and Olivia reassures him that because he is now a loose end her father will eventually take him out. Tom does mention that Fitz tried to kill himself when Olivia left, which is shocking to her.

On the campaign trail, OPA is trying to get Susan Ross to record a campaign message but she is horrible on camera. Olivia comes up with the brilliant idea to have Susan’s daughter tape the message instead. Olivia trades her trademark blazers for a feminine blouse. This H&M Silk Blouse ($40) is similar:

H&M

Fitz calls Olivia for a night of racy phone sex. She tries to confront him about his suicide attempt but he counters by revving her up and leaving her hanging. It’s obvious that Fitz is a drug she just can’t quit. Olivia wore The Limited Plaid Cape ($89.99) and was carrying her marble Prada Saffiano Cuir Tote (sold out). For a look for less try the Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Saffiano Leather Tote ($268):

Cape

Leo Bergen (Paul Adelstein) comes to Abby to tell her that he has found some dirt on Susan Ross. She finally admits what Chip did to her much to Leo’s surprise.

Speaking of confrontations, Eli pays Olivia a visit and calls her out for visiting Tom. He warns her not to go up against him because she will lose. Olivia doesn’t seem to worried about any of that. She wears a Burberry Trench ($1497.04). This Calvin Klein Double Breasted Trench Coat ($158) is similar:

burberry trench

Tom doesn’t last much longer than that, getting stabbed in the next scene just like Olivia predicted. The team finally lets Olivia in on their secret, that Jeremy Winslow’s firm was meeting about Olivia.

Cyrus (Jeff Perry) put out a test to find out if his newest boy toy was leaking information but he doesn’t pass – Mellie (Bellamy Young) regurgitates it during her interview about the new White House china pattern. She is wearing an Escada 3/4-Sleeve Off-Center Twist Keyhole Dress (sold out). This Catherine Malandrino Terri Keyhole Drape Front Dress ($168) is similar:

Escada keyhole dress

Then it all comes together, Mellie tells Fitz where to go, Olivia reveals that she “handled” Tom by paying to have him stabbed which gets him to confess the real truth which she can share with Fitz, Huck’s son tracked him down and shows up at the office and Leo admits that he leaked the real Chip to the media and then kisses Abby!! I didn’t see any of that coming!

What do you think Papa Pope will do when he finds out Fitz and Olivia sprung Jake from SuperMax?

If you missed it, you can still purchase the episode on iTunes.

Revenge “Damage” Recap

November 18, 2014 by Leave a Comment

David Clarke (James Tupper) is finally back at the beach house where he belongs. Everyone seems to have mixed feelings about this, especially Victoria (Madeline Stowe). She is nervous for David’s television interview because she has no idea what he is going to say. I loved Victoria’s L’Wren Scott Classic Embroidered Cardigan (sold out) and was surprised by the jeans. I don’t think we’ve ever seen her in jeans before. I found this similar Laura Scott Women’s Embroidered Cardigan ($19.99):

lwren scott

Emily (Emily VanCamp) and Nolan (Gabriel Mann) hack into the FBI to try and find out what her father has been through. She wears the Joie Rancher Top in Robin’s Egg ($79) and Arte Designs Peruvian Opal Cuff Bracelet (temporarily sold out). For more size options I found this ASTR Cap Sleeve V-Neck Blouse ($46):

Joie Rancher Top

In the meantime, Charlotte’s (Christa B. Allen) one night stand turns out to be a kidnapper. Much to my surprise, she ends up taking him out while wearing a La Perla Dolce Chemise ($128). This Natori Silky Chemise ($78) is a little more affordable:

la perla

In other news, Margaux (Karine Vanasse) calls Daniel (Josh Bowman) to let him know that his new business relationship with Louise (Elena Satine) is now public knowledge…little does she know that their relationship is more than just business. Margaux wears a Alice + Olivia Briony layered lace tank (sold out) and the Alexander McQueen Leaf Crepe Pencil Skirt (sold out). To recreate this look, I found this Vince Camuto Lace Blouse ($71.40) and this High-Waisted Pencil Skirt ($41.97):

alice and olivia

Enter Victoria to remind Daniel again that she is his mother. She also comes clean about being in a mental institution, but she doesn’t tell him that Emily put her there. This was only to warn him about Louise’s instability. Victoria wears a Cushnie et Ochs Buckled Power Viscose Sheath Dress (sold out). This Let’s Gather Together Dress in Berry ($49.99) is similar:

buckle dress

Louise and Victoria have a weird meeting and we start to see some of Louise’s delusions towards Victoria. Victoria has no interest in a relationship with Louise which is too bad because if loyalty is what Victoria wants Louise would be devout. She is starting to be one of my favorite characters -plus she always looks fabulous this time in a sold out floral print Dolce & Gabbana dress. This INC International Concepts Cap-Sleeve Floral-Print Sheath Dress ($129.50) is a great look for less:

dolce and gabbana

In a surprising move, David decides to blast Nolan on live TV instead of Victoria. I feel like they were sort of jumping the shark here. At that point I would have just told him that Emily is Amanda, Amanda is Emily to clear my name. Victoria wore a sold out Roland Mouret Brownlow stretch-crepe dress. This Adrianna Papell Asymmetric Waist Stretch Crepe Sheath Dress ($98) is similar:

roland mouret

Things worked out swimmingly for Margaux as she got a killer interview. She wore a sold out Diane von Furstenberg
‘Jezebel’ Silk Blouse and Abstract Black Spinel Earrings from Arte Designs ($68).

DVF

I was so happy when Charlotte finally called Victoria out and decided to leave to go to rehab. This is probably the smartest thing she’s ever done on this show. Charlotte looks sophisticated in the sold out Roland Mouret Abbotsford Dress. This Marc New York by Andrew Marc Square Neck Sleeveless Sheath Dress ($74.99) is a good match:

roland mouret green

Before Charlotte leaves she stops to tell Daniel the truth about Emily. As she is in the car on her way out of town she discovers a mysterious letter from Emily in her purse but we don’t get to see what it says. Charlotte wore an Adrianna Papell Ribbon Stripe Strapless Dress ($480). This Felicity & Coco Strapless Stripe Maxi Dress ($88) is similar:

adrianna papell gold ribbon

In the end Emily still doesn’t want to tell David the truth which really annoyed me…I mean come on already – this is getting ridiculous!!

The Good Wife “Message Discipline” Recap

November 14, 2014 by Leave a Comment

This week, we start off with Finn Polmar’s (Matthew Goode) perspective. He is under a lot of pressure to close the case with Cary (Matt Czuchry) and starts by bringing Geneva Pine (Renee Elise Goldsberry) back into the fold. You can tell that he has feelings for Alicia (Julianne Marguiles) because he warns her about Cary being in hot water.

Eli (Alan Cumming) is always good at his job and is able to sniff out that someone else is getting into the race for State Attorney. He stops by to share the good news with Alicia. She is wearing an Escada Contrast-Lapel Tuxedo Jacket ($465). This BCBGMAXAZRIA Women’s Marcelle Color Blocked Blazer ($235.99) is similar:

escada tuxedo

Things aren’t looking good for Cary, but Alicia still has to campaign, so her prep continues. Diane (Christine Baranski) has to subpoena Peter (Chris Noth), but his new lawyer, Ramona (Connie Nielsen) tries to quash it. Nobody is on Cary’s side it seems. Diane wore a Paul Smith tailored jacket ($1,127). This Alice + Olivia Geometric-Print One-Button Blazer ($139.50) is similar:

paul smith blazer

Alicia meets up with Finn for drinks and find out that he has quit the prosecutor’s office because Castro is being unethical. He is one of my favorite new characters…if only Alicia wasn’t married he would be a great match for her. She wore an Alexander McQueen Crepe Blazer (sold out). This JCrew Factory Crepe Blazer ($118) is similar:

alexander mcqueen

Scandal “An Innocent Man” Recap

November 11, 2014 by Leave a Comment

This week’s Scandal starts out with a dream sequence where Olivia (Kerry Washington) is torn between her two lovers. Who will she choose? In her dream she sports this Golightly Swimsuit by Oye Swimwear ($350). I found this Block Party Front Zip One-Piece Swimsuit by Seafolly ($142) to recreate the look for less.

oye

Mellie (Bellamy Young) finally gets back in action as first lady when she has to plan a funeral for a former president. She looks great in a sold out Michael Kors dress. This Kasper Lace Panel Sheath Dress ($59.99) is similar:

michael kors

In the meantime, Olivia wore a fabulous Check Trench Coat from The Limited Scandal Collection (sold out) to meet a client in prison. I would keep my eye on eBay to see if this pops up. I did find this Line & Dot Plaid Keaton Trench Coat here and here for $107-120.

limited check trench coat

I love when Abby (Darby Stanchfield) finally stood up to Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) for Olivia. She might be mad at Olivia, but she is a good friend in the end.

Olivia and Quinn (Katie Lowes) meet their new client, Leonard Carnahan (Brian Benben), and it is interesting when he quotes Olivia back to her, saying “The truth is like the sun.” Olivia wore an Escada Draped Silk Tee (sold out). I liked this Halogen Sleeveless Drape Neck Top ($11.90) because it had a higher quality material to match the Escada look:

escada draped blouse

I loved the scene with Mellie and Bitsy Cooper, the former first lady. I think she gave Mellie some hope for the future.

Abby’s rant towards Fitz got him to show up at Olivia’s door. Olivia wore the Ilia Ribbed Cocoon Cardigan from The Row ($1990). This Leith Open Front Long Cardigan ($82) is similar:

the row

I also have to take a second and applaud Olivia’s statement for Fitz not to call Abby a bitch and not to use that word to describe women. Kudos to Shonda for adding that in there!

Olivia and team are able to get an autopsy on the late president and David Rosen (Joshua Malina) catches on to what they did. I have to say that they are good. Olivia wore a sold out Armani Collezioni Jacquard Asymmetric-Front Jacket and carried her Prada Saffiano Lux Double-Zip Tote ($2500). This Anne Klein Women’s Houndstooth Metal and Contrast Detail Jacket ($139) and Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Tote ($298) are similar:

armani collezioni houndstooth

Unfortunately, in the end Olivia gets played by Carnahan, but she does get a one up on her father by out manipulating him with Fitz. She ends up saving Jake’s life which is a start.

I loved Mellie with Bitsy at the funeral. That was the best we have seen her all season, I can’t wait to see more of her comeback!

Abby gets to call Cyrus (Jeff Perry) out on his secret tryst. That was a great moment on Abby’s part. She is starting to come into her own.

Olivia wore an Alexander Wang Mesh Combo Racer Back One-Piece Swimsuit (sold out). This La Blanca Sheer-Inset One-Piece Swimsuit ($109) is similar:

alexander wang

What do you think Papa Pope will do next week?
