Olivia is hired by Harold Pierce's son, Skip (Jason London) as his father is going mad, he drives a motorbike through his house and there's their company and his wife, Anne (Patricia McCormack) thinks he's having a breakdown. Harold (Chelcie Ross) is living with Jenna (Kate Lang Johnson) an actress who could also be coined a gold digger. There's an IPO to come out on their company but if they get wind of this then it won't happen. They decide to get Harold declared unfit so Skip can take over the company. The judge tells Harrison and Abby that they need an independent assessment from a doctor.
Quinn (Katie Lowes) questions Huck (Guillermo Diaz) on the drug he would use to put someone like Harold to sleep and then they could put him in the closet and take him out of the house later. Huck tells her M99, so she's convinced there is such a drug. Of course she's conducting her own inquiries into what happened to her and how she ended up from Sonoma to DC.
Mellie (Bellamy Young) is throwing Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) a party with friends for his birthday and then a gala later on. Here Fitz mentions Defiance, Ohio and how that town came through with them in the election and James recalls reading about defiance in David's file. Jenna tells Harrison to call for a doctor since Harold is sick and then when they arrive inside they find the couple are married. The doctor was one of theology. Now she's his next of kin, he can't be committed without her consent. James finds out how the voting machines would be rigged. If someone voted for one candidate five times the receipts would show this, but the final tally would show the real result. The machines have a memory card. When he arrives he finds none of the machines have a card, but one is missing. It's t a school and here he prints out receipts and finds the final tally reads Fitz and Langston's name on it.
Fitz is handed more surveillance photos on Olivia and he sees her with Edison together. He told them to stop the surveillance but he can' help showing his anger. Harold shoots Skip in the arm and Olivia tells Harrison to deal with it, he can do it. Harold was saving Skip from the heartache and lack of enjoyment in running a company and didn't want him to become like him. Whereas Skip loves working there, so they were each doing what they believed the other wanted. They give a press conference cancelling the IPO. Edison is voted the head of the Senate as the Whitehouse publicly backs Hawley, something which Hollis was against. He threatens Cyrus (Jeff Perry) that he will take them down and Cyrus is relieved Fitz has finally moved on. Which he hasn't.
Quinn finds out it's possible to take passengers onto a private jet without naming the passengers and she thinks someone put her on this, she finds a jet in the name of Verna Thornton (Debra Mooney) Olivia's client. Mellie and Fitz arrive at the gala but she changes her mind and doesn't want to go in. He tells her Olivia isn't his mistress anymore and exits the car before saying, "you can't always get what you want." Repeating what she said to him when he was against the gala. As they walk out, a shot is fired and hits Fitz. Olivia tells Edison there was someone but he's in the past and she doesn't want to talk about him. Yes but for how long, especially now this has happened.
SO plenty of suspects , Hollis being the most obvious, then you've got the Sudan crisis and also Mellie too, as she changes her mind at the last minute and doesn't want to leave the car. Of course it could just be nerves on her part or maybe she knows what's coming, just like Olivia knew what was going to happen in the senate.
