Scandal “More Cattle Less Bull” Recap

During Olivia’s (Kerry Washington) weekly dinner with her father, Huck (Guillermo Diaz) and Jake (Scott Foley) are investigating his apartment. They seemed determined to bring Eli Pope (Joe Morton) down at all costs. Olivia wears a herringbone plaid blazer. I found a similar Calvin Klein blazer ($52.49): herringbone Back at the White House it is campaign manager season. Cyrus (Jeff Perry) and Mellie (Bellamy Young) are searching for a manager for Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) and Josephine Marcus (Lisa Kudrow) is looking for someone that can get her to the White House. Cyrus and Mellie strike out and Olivia lands a job with Marcus. Unfortunately, she has a big problem for Olivia to handle, she gave a baby up for adoption when she was a teenager. Olivia wears a white tweed Christian Dior blazer. I found a Rachel Zoe tweed jacket ($79.84) that is similar: tweed jacket Olivia sends the entire team to Montana to dig up dirt on Josephine and figuring out ways to make sure that dirt stays buried. One thing nobody counted on was the vice-president taking on both Josephine and Fitz to win the presidency. The team discovers that Josephine Marcus’ baby is actually her sister, Candy. Josephine wants to shield Candy from the media scrutiny and tries to get Olivia to fix it for her. Unfortunately, during the press conference she has to face the situation head on and admit that Candy is her daughter. It works out swimmingly for her, but she ends up firing Pope & Associates anyways.

Olivia wears a grey suit during her work with Josephine and carries her white Prada bag. I found an Evan-Picone Gray Suit Jacket ($59.98) that is similar:

I found a Micheal Kors Selma Satchel ($358) that is a great match for Olivia’s Prada Bag:

Fitz calls and cheers Olivia up, letting her vet his jokes for the White House correspondent’s dinner. Mellie overhears their conversation and realizes that she can’t get between them. Olivia decides to attend the dinner after all and takes Jake as her date. She wears a stunning Rubin Singer colorblock dress. I found a great look for less in this Anne Klein Colorblocked Strapless Gown ($328):

Out of left field Mellie asks Olivia to come back on the campaign trail and continue her relationship with Fitz. When it rains it pours because Josie also offers Olivia her job back.

It all sounds like a dream come true for Olivia and she actually considers it until Jake and Huck come to see her and tell her that Fitz was the one that shot down her mother’s plane and is responsible for her death.

I think that effectively ends Olivia’s relationship with Fitz, but let’s be honest – it wasn’t really going to work out anyways. Now maybe she can finally move on.

What did you think about this week’s episode of Scandal? Is this the end of Fitz and Olivia?
