Olivia Pope needs to do something about her inner circle, because it’s breaking all the way down. And who’s to blame? The man closest to her heart: el presidente.
Last night’s (Nov. 7) episode “Icarus,” opened with a flashback to a 12-year-old Pope and her mom, who later died in what was thought to be an airplane crash (obvious cover up) but really centered around “Operation Remington” and President Fitzgerald.
From the looks of it, Pope can’t trust anyone, including Fitz who flew the plane any maybe even shot down the aircraft carrying her mother and over 320 other people. Now that Pope knows that Fitz had something to do with it, her world is coming apart at the seams.
Like a true professional though, she’s channeling the sadness of betrayal into her gig with Josie Marcus (who fired her last week, but then hired her again). Essentially Pope wants to make Marcus into a pit bull in a skirt (or pants suit), so that she can win her presidential bid, crush Fitz, and all will be right with the world.
If only it were that easy.

We got to see what Liv looked like as a child last night. And her (dead) mom.

Olivia dropped Fitz as a client then confronted him about Operation Remington. He wasn’t tryna’ hear that noise.
Also, he definitely killed her mom.
These two are still on the case. Hopefully they don’t make father dearest (Eli Pope) angry tho. Her kills for sport.
This is the moment where Democratic candidate JoJo lost her sh-t because she’s tired of all the sexism in politics.
Way to keep it cool lady.
Olivia turned to “the sauce” for comfort.
Eli Pope is a master Jedi with no emotions. Even a drunk, tearful, call from his daughter couldn’t melt that icy heart.
This micro-fro is just sad.
Cyrus is stuck between a rock and a hard place, mostly because he knows too much of everybody’s business.
Harrison needs a favor from Huck.
Speaking of which, Huck should really think about killing Quinn.
She’s pretty annoying.
