Two years ago Jesse asks Hollis for more money after finding out how much he will make billions in an oil pipeline deal.
Everything seems to come toppling down for Olivia (Kerry Washington) as the past catches up with her and the others involved in the vote rigging scandal. Mellie )Bellamy Young) tries to get Cyrus (Jeff Perry) to make Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) change his mind about the divorce cos she made him who he is. She rescued him from what his father did to Fitz and restored his spirit and she won't have Olivia taking that away from her. Cyrus tells her he will handle it like he tells Olivia he will handle Hollis. Olivia doesn't want to see Edison (Norm Lewis) cos she's despondent. Edison appeals to her "gladiators" to help her cos they know her better than him. Olivia feels too overcome by the guilt of the past now, yeah only now when things seem to be out of her control and after Fitz recovers from being shot.
Fitz wants Cyrus into looking into the divorce and Fitz calls Olivia telling her to wait in accepting Edison as he's getting a divorce. Cyrus warns him about how destructive that will be for him and the Presidency, since the Republicans will not accept someone with Olivia's "hue." That's putting it subtly.
Quinn Says they've found their next client and decides they should come clean about everything they know without judging and she tells them how Huck (Guillermo Diaz) brought her to DC after drugging her since Olivia wanted him to help her. Abby (Darby Stanchfield) tells them she was seeing David and two years ago Kate (Susan Pourfar) plants a bomb in a package and sends it to Jesse at Cytron. She also makes sure Quinn knows he cheated on her with another woman and Quinn tells him he's dead.
Abby knows about the vote rigging and Harrison (Columbus Short) says this wasn't about Hollis and the pipeline and figures out it was about rigging the election. Huck knew everything as he coughs and then sees Olivia. Olivia tells him "it's being handled" in her usual way and Huck tells her Cyrus will handle it by getting Charlie (George Newbern) to kill Hollis.
Olivia tells Cyrus about coming clean and if they get caught out they will cos it's about justice. Wherein Cyrus gives her some speech about them being magical and how as Santa they make people believe in them but if they find out the truth and the Republic is brought down they'll be crushing the people by telling them there's no Santa, or Easter bunny or tooth fairy. Olivia needs to do this.
Olivia turns Hollis in and his office is raided but the only thing they find is the phone he used to call Kate. Olivia thinks if they can find the money trail where he used to pay off Kate for the shooting then they will have concrete proof. Quinn thinks they can get Hollis's financial records from the computer that Jesse used, the one she spilled coffee on and had to get fixed. Two years later it's still there. Huck manages to find an offshore account and trace the payment he made to Jesse a day after the election. To find if he paid off Kate they'll need her bank details. So Huck and Harrison pretend to be her attorneys and Huck convinces her to reveal her bank account after he gives her his real name. He says with the money he will hire a good lawyer so he'll be able to see her.
Huck traces the account but finds it wasn't Hollis who paid her to have Fitz shot. Olivia tells David it wasn't him but he's already been released as he gets into a lift with Charlie. Charlie just loves his lifts! As he did in the season 1 finale when Billy Chambers was killed. Cyrus shows Fitz his popularity will be down to 10 percent if he divorces Mellie especially now that she's having the baby. He tells Mellie to hatch a plan to keep him from divorcing her and she goes into premature labour with Fitz being called to her side to help deliver the baby. Well that's one ploy that'll work.
Harrison tells Olivia he's there for her when she talks about her white hat being gone, but she's always had her white hat. Knew the Hollis story had to have been too easy and someone else must have been behind the shooting. Darn that's our suspect out the window then and he had a good motive too. Guess they had to get to the bottom of this vote rigging scandal by now since we're over halfway through, just about and couldn't leave it hanging for much longer. So starts the shooting storyline again just when we thought the killer was in the bag.
