Huck (Guillermo Diaz) and Quinn (Katie Lowes) come for their weekly bug sweep on Olivia's (Kerry Washington) apartment and find everything clear. That's cos Jake (Scott Foley) hastily removed all of his surveillance equipment and devices cos he knows when bug sweep day is, so wouldn't it have been easier to change the days and times instead of routinely coming on the same day. It's ridiculous if anyone was surveilling he'd get their routine down pat. They leave in one lift and Jake returns in the other. So whilst all this is going on Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) addresses the nation telling them about Osborne's betrayal. Was that really big news, I mean did they really want to advertize having a leak, a huge national security leak at such a level. SO the mole is dead and David (Joshua Malina) and Molly (Mageina Tovah) can leave and he can go back home and brush his teeth in his own sink.
Osbornes's widow, Susie (Mary Page Keller) comes to see Olivia to tell her he didn't kill himself cos he wrote Susan on his suicide note and in all of their tears of marriage he always called her Susie or honey. Olivia comforts her and reassures her she will get to the bottom of it and she promises. Harrison (Columbus Short) says they won't take the case and he's proved wrong. Jake meets with the mysterious man (Joe Morton) and tells him that Olivia is investigating Osborne's death and he replies that Olivia won't stop until she gets to the bottom of it. Jake calls her for dinner, he's going to cook, not pasta or noodles but a real dinner. She takes a raincheck and he holds her to that. Jake giving himself away when he tells her she doesn't use her kitchen, she finally asks how he knows and he calls it a hunch. Of course she didn't get that last ep, when he mentioned her drinking so much wine. Yeah they all drink too much wine, hence the wine shortage in the world! Ha.
Huck and Quinn visit the coroner and find that Osborne killed himself, there's nothing out of the ordinary, which Quinn finally gets, the suicide was too perfect. Abby (Darby Stanchfield) realizes David is still in danger and rushes to his apartment to get him out. But no one thought of Molly, wouldn't she still be in trouble. They think she's a witness and can maybe shed light on the exact words Osborne used with Wendy. But she's in the wind and Harrison thinks of calling his Justice friends, but David thinks his Homeland Security connections will be much easier cos they can detain her at the airport. Which they do.
Huck and Quinn check out the storage place that they were led to by payments made to Molly and Huck vanishes after leaving Quinn in the car to watch for strange looking people. Quinn manages to find him cos she uses the security cameras and notices someone moved the direction of one of the cameras cos the pallet is facing the wrong way in one of the screens. Yes it's a pallet not a piece of wood, which it is also. She finds Huck beaten and locked in a crate. He's traumatized and sits in the corner of the office. David recalling this would be worse than water boarding for him. Molly is detained at the airport and tells them she didn't do it for the money but she lied cos she was threatened. Oh they were after molly cos the money paper trail led to her.
Olivia also finds from Osborne's security that he was a patriot but he had a gambling problem that's why he went to the laundry. The man was his bookie. She tells this to his wife and she can reassure her daughter her father was a patriot. Olivia calls Cyrus (Jeff Perry) to tell them they were wrong about Osborne but he's not willing to believe that and that's what I was saying about the wine as Olivia and Cyrus both drink. Apparently the mysterious man wants Olivia dead cos of Osborne. We are lead to believe that but if he's really you-know-who (not typed spoiler here) he wouldn't want her dead.
Cyrus convinces Fitz and Mellie (Bellamy Young) to give an interview cos he's going to have to announce he's running for a second term soon. They feign being so in love and talk about where they met. In some bar where Mellie was meeting Jim, but she doesn't want him mentioned in the press. He was in the navy and they finally got to talk when Jim ordered a dink from the bar. They later talk about what's wrong, well why they lie and it's so easy for them. Mellie telling him everyone pretends in a marriage, that's what it's all about.
Fitz calls Cyrus and asks him how he's coping with James (Dan Bucatinsky) cos he's living in a hotel. He tells him to hang in there and finally tells Cyrus he killed Verna. Cyrus telling him they all do things like that cos he killed Gideon and cue Cyrus sending Charlie (George Newbern) to take care of Huck cos he was wearing the baseball cap. But was it Charlie? So they ascertain that baseball cap man is working for albatross. But was he working for Cyrus again or for someone else on the side.
Olivia watches the mushy interview on TV and has to turn it off, turning up at Jake's with Gettysburger. She needs wine and napkins but he makes her drink ale, turning off her phone. They finally kiss and fall into bed together as she sends the night with him, waking up for water and turns on the TV to find her apartment from all angles. She drops the glass and Jake wakes, obviously having time to throw on his pants! Well never mind!! Ha. She tells him to get away and he pushes her back accidentally and she hits her head on the table. He tells her he was watching her to protect her as a masked man enters her place. That was conveniently timed. Jake sees blood on her head and Fitz is called. Who is that masked man, Charlie. Okay I don't know why I said that, just seems he's seen everywhere isn't he. Especially when there's killing involved. So where was Jake heading out with his duct tape and gun when Olivia came a calling. To Olivia's place since he said he was protecting her.
Fitz shows up and rests his head on her as Jake watches from outside the room, jealous much? The other main story was Cyrus showing up at his own home and not going anywhere. He wants counselling but James doesn't want it now cos it would involve telling the truth and they've lied. He perjured himself and Cyrus tells him that's the choice he made. James tells him it would have been better if he had lied to him about Defiance. SO this ep, all about secrets and lies should I say. How serious was Jake when he said he was protecting her as we know he was watching her cos of Fitz but how exactly does the mysterious man fit in and did the masked man think he'd really kill Olivia.
So if Jake is a good guy this means someone will eventually find out about him and be after him too. But he's a real man, he can cook. Oh and Molly is also found dead, was that Charlie? But what about the duct tape on Huck's mouth and then duct tape in Jake's bag, was that meant to be a clue he's the bad guy or just a red herring to throw us off the scent or in this case, a red wine soaked herring! Ha. Sorry. But this mystery with Jake is really hitting up (bit like him!) and you really can't trust anyone in this show, not even the gladiators. They lie too, well Harrison with Abby breaking her and David up. Olivia keeping Quinn's past a secret. Fitz and Olivia a secret but for how long. Cyrus getting away with murder too, as well as Fitz and on it goes. Seems like James seems to be the only one with a conscience.
Apparently the ep title is from Ghost, which also starred Tony Goldwyn, as the baddie.
