Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) plays with the baby and Mellie (Bellamy Young) doesn't have the patience for it as Cyrus (Jeff Perry) tells her he's not confiding him and he needs to trust someone or else he'll go elsewhere. Some Americans are kidnapped in Kashfar (yeah a weird name for a fake country if ever there was one!!) Fitz prefers to 'run' the country by himself as Cyrus puts it cos he's not using him as his chief of staff, his dragon, watchdog etc.
David wakes next to the body of a woman, the oldest frame job in the business and the police knock on his door too after a neighbour hearing screams. So they really didn't buy the TV being too loud excuse. His neighbours must be experts in women screaming then. He calls Olivia for help cos he's really got nowhere else to turn. After the Defiance fiasco he's lost his job, applied for many, even tried opening up his own firm, Harrison (Columbus Short) referring to the business cards as 'cheap'. Flimsy. Well he's on a budget. Olivia asks if he wants her help, he can go to the police to whom he just lied and they'll really not investigate or they can move Wendy's DB. Wendy whom he met in a bar and spent the night with, much to Abby's dismay. He decides on her help.
Huck (Guillermo Diaz) puts her DB back in her apartment and makes it look like a B&E. Quinn (Katie Lowes) wants to know how clean up is done so he gives her a knife to restab the DB. She then finds her computer is missing. Huck finds several calls made to her phone and also photos of men. They piece together the photos and find she was sleeping with men and stealing info from them before turning in stories about them. David is arrested and tells his successor that he can do what he did , arrest him and pursue this case like he did the Defiance investigation and then end up with egg on his face really, for lack of evidence. After Harrison tells him to keep quiet. David then thinks Olivia may be the one behind this and wants to pay her fee for services rendered since she's been after him since day one. Olivia replies he couldn't afford her. Huck also finds she made calls to someone at the Pentagon where Olivia meets the same man again. Captain Jake Ballard (Scott Foley) who works Intel for the Joint Chiefs.
Jake can't tell her anything and neither can Olivia so he asks her to dinner which she turns down. Yeah but not for long. Olivia asks Cyrus if he's making sure the Defiance story is put to rest by framing David and he denies it. He thinks the story is laid to rest with Verna's demise. Olivia tells him Fitz knows what they did and Cyrus should have known that's why Fitz is freezing him out all of a sudden. He tells Mellie to handle it and she does so by talking Fitz round insisting it was all Cyrus who came up with the plan to steal the election and talked everyone round.
Fitz wants SEALS sent in to rescue the hostages even if they are spies for the US even after telling Cyrus he'll hold off on it. At the christening of Cyrus and James's (Dan Bucatinsky) daughter, Ella, Fitz has a momentary lapse of his libido, (ha) and has a final 'stab' at Olivia. Then saying it's finally over and he may not be able to control himself but it won't happen again. Yes a likely story. Seems he can get his own way when he wants but then put it down to lapse of judgement or loss of control. Olivia apologizes for the election but he doesn't want to hear it. Cyrus tells him they're going in but when the SEALs arrive there, the hostages aren't found. Concluding they have a mole. Now who could that be?
David finds a flashdrive which belongs to Wendy and Olivia realizes it contains classified info no civilian should have. David needs her help again cos he won't last in prison and Olivia talks about him wanting the white hat to come out again. Olivia calls Jake who was expecting her call and they arrange a date. She likes quiet but he likes watching people as he has a ringside view of all of Olivia's apartment. Even her little smile at the end when he hangs up. Ah Olivia so gullible, he's a complete stranger and she goes gaga over him. What a creep. Well it's apparent he knows more than he's letting on about Wendy and probably who was behind framing David, even if it turns out not to be him.
Mellie you sly dog getting into Fitz's good books and even his shower when she thinks she can mould him into her world. Of course she wanted the Whitehouse which he knows but he seems to fall for her explanation. Either that or he's playing her too considering she's just as guilty as the others for the vote rigging. An accomplice, accessory whatever the label, she's not innocent of wrongdoing.
As for the title read into it what you will. Oh you know WTF, as in what's happening here? Or WTF everyone wants a piece of Fitz, in the shower, closet or wherever! ha. But really not believing Olivia would be so gullible so as not to have her place checked especially since she's got the best in the business working for her, yes I mean Huck. As for her 'stalker' their meeting was no coincidence cos really how can you make someone drop their phone, or drop it for them when the place isn't even crowded. Fitz even more gullible for trusting Mellie and Cyrus not believing Fitz would know, may know, after all he was the last one to see Verna alive. Oh and maybe Fitz's suddenn binge drinking has more to do with guilt, he did take a life after all, rather then those around him stealing the election for him. Let's face it, he was losing and what exactly would he be doing now. One way to figure out if he would have won, maybe when he runs again he'll be able to run a more 'honest' race.
