Huck (Guillermo Diaz) is held at the Pentagon which CIA, NSA, FBI, Homeland Security guy tells David (Joshua Malina) is not American soil and gets a speech on patriotism from him after David tells him what he's doing is a violation of civil liberties and the law. Like anyone's listening. Huck is tortured, water boarded, beaten and still won't talk.
Elsewhere someone signs Fitz's (Tony Goldwyn) name to be reinstated as President and Olivia (Kerry Washington) has been distant with Edison (Norm Lewis). She can't talk about Huck or her work and there needs to be a Chinese wall between them if they are to see each other. He tells her they haven't had sex in over a week, (is that all, ha) and she tells him they can right now. Edison also remarks on being saved by the bell when her doorbell rings. Edison is getting his mail at her place, it's a letter which mentions the President is awake and wants reinstatement. Olivia rushes to the hospital but finds this isn't the case, Mellie (Bellamy Young) signed the letter and sent it out. Does she really need reminding about it being treason and domestic terrorism.
Verna (Debra Mooney) admits she got Huck arrested but thinks Hollis (Gregg Henry) was the one who hired the assassin. They have their table session, minus Hollis and Verna tells them Hollis has a second phone he keeps in his desk and was heard to be talking on there, she believes to the assassin. Meanwhile, Harrison (Columbus Short) and Abby (Darby Stanchfield) talk to a woman 'friend' of Hollis's, Harrison tries to pick her up whilst Abby steals her keycard and breaks into Hollis's office to steal his phone, or rather the number he dials. Hollis tells Langston (Kate Burton) he doesn't believe the President is awake and even with the press breaking the news and Cyrus (Jeff Perry) saying his office needs to be vacated, Langston wants to speak with Fitz. Of course you know by the end of the ep all will be well and Fitz will be awake, which has nothing to do with Olivia actually resting her head on him.
Huck hears about Fitz and will only speak to his torturers if he can talk to the people behind the glass. He tells them if he's awake then his life is still in danger. David tells Olivia he knows where Huck is and she comes up with a plan to have the President moved to Camp David for his safety and quick recovery. Knowing Hollis will call the number and get Becky (Susan Pourfar) to take another shot. OH what they'd just wheel him out so someone can take pot shots for a second time, and doesn't that hospital have an underground garage? Huck is released and he calls the number. Becky is arrested and she tells him her real name is Kate, which Huck really isn't interested in and doesn't tell her his real name.
Huck is released into Olivia's custody. James (Dan Bucatinsky) quits his job and he and Cyrus get their daughter from the hospital. Quinn (Katie Lowes) knows Hollis killed her boyfriend and set her up and she wants to know why Olivia didn't turn Hollis into the FBI. Just then the phone rings, as Olivia agrees to talk to her and she hears Fitz on the other end. Right so whilst Mellie is being grilled by Langston about graphology and the 'T's being crossed by a right handed persona and not left, that Mellie signed the letter, Olivia is the first person he speaks with after Cyrus.
David's boss telling him about wearing the white hat but he's in the real world and this is how things are done. Again gotta ask about Olivia's white hat which hasn't been on in quite some time. Also she and Edison are over which clearly shouldn't have begun in the first place since they were not right for each other, was probably just a way for Olivia to 'move on' from Fitz after their break-up in the restaurant. Especially since he was also willing to"prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. And guess what, I make the law..."
Olivia: "Goodbye Edison."
Though Mellie was a tad premature and hasty in sending in the reinstatement papers, guess she didn't want to lose her First Lady position, it did give Hollis a chance to get out the assassin again and thus inadvertently get Huck released. Huck saying he'll shoot Becky five times, one for the dog! Hence the title.
