The main tension of the night happened when Rowan showed up at OliviaвЂ™s apartment and she tried to kill him. The only people that get away with crimes are rich white dudes and Marilu Henner. Is there anything more terrifying than someone asking you for an alibi? If I am ever interrogated, my black ass is going to jail forever because I cannot tell you what I was doing yesterday at 3 p.m., much less recount what I was doing weeks, months, or years ago. Abby didnвЂ™t want to be on record, but David pushed, so she had to tell him that her alibi for the night of the big erasure was Leo Bergen, and thatвЂ™s how David ends up with a broken heart. When she asked if Huck scared her child with lies, I screamed, вЂњNo, he scared him with the truth!вЂќДavid has to investigate the Cyrus leak, especially after everyone finds out that Cyrus deleted all of his emails and texts the minute he knew Michael was working for Liz. It looks like Kim is going to read the files Huck left for her, but does it matter? It might explain that he was telling the truth, but it doesnвЂ™t make his craziness more livable. The only kid more damaged is Javi, who ran home immediately after watching his father pop a manвЂ™s neck like a tire. Was it just me, or was that scene oddly erotic and completely absurd? And the real question is: Is Michael even interesting enough to warrant a story line? My REAL question is: What about Ella? Was Cyrus going to take her to Europe with him? Because he certainly didnвЂ™t have a baby bag packed, and no one has mentioned the toll this arrangement might take on that little invisible child. Cyrus eventually agrees to it, but only after he resigns his position and Olivia yells him back to life by calling him a вЂњbitch babyвЂќ repeatedly and making him take his job back.

Michael said yes as soon as he heard the phrase вЂњmillions of dollars,вЂќ and Cyrus spit on the ground three times and pantomimed a slit throat at the cruelty of Liv stomping on his relationship with James, the love of his life and only man he had ever slept with prior to Michael. DonвЂ™t you dare quote Madeleine Albright at Olivia Pope and expect her to let it drop! Liz retaliates by leaking CyrusвЂ™s photos with Michael because she is a bigger pile of crap than Marjory the Fraggle Rock trash-heap, and Olivia figures out that the only way to fix it is to force them to get married. Once Liv was brought up to speed - Kubiak, Liz, and Andrew are all in cahoots, and Huck killed Kubiak without slipping into a semi-psychotic state - Liz comes in to yell at her about her bugged phone, and they have a Feminist Dance-Off that Olivia wins. I like that we finally saw someone plug in her phone on TV, even though LivвЂ™s dead battery meant she had missed a bunch of QuinnвЂ™s calls.

Olivia does not care about Thanksgiving, Christmas, or family reunions in public parks where you have to pretend you remember people youвЂ™ve never met - the only family she needs is wine, popcorn, and Gettysburger. Maya was sure Liv would bail her out, but instead, Liv read her charges and told them to arrest her, right before imploring them to hunt, find, and kill her father.

SheвЂ™s sort of shell-shocked at the start for lots of reasons, least of which is that they dug up Mama Pope! Rowan was just going to leave her in that hole, I guess. If you juxtapose the Olivia we see at the start of the episode with the one we see at the end, youвЂ™re looking at two very different people. Does QuinnвЂ™s dentist have to report her missing teeth the way doctors are supposed to report physical abuse? Like, does she just roll up asking for another implant, shrug her shoulders, and say, вЂњWork, am I right?вЂќ
