Scandal Recap: Runaway Love [PHOTOS]

Last night’s Scandal finale was definitely explosive, but not nearly as shocking as in seasons past. That said, at least a couple of people died, and two other characters ran away together [SPOILERS AHEAD!].

First, the bad news. The people who died didn’t really matter on the show anyway, they were basically dead weight (pun intended).

The episode started out with a funeral bomb predicament that could’ve been a promising opportunity for a massacre, but that did’t happen. The person that should have definitely died (Sally Langston)  became Jesus, and tended to the wounded people outside the church — but it wall just once big publicity stunt.

Then there was all the one-upping. Olivia Pope tried to quit the campaign, so the Fitz did her one better. He said he wanted her to pop out his babies. The next thing you know, Liv’s telling him that his wife got raped by his dad. As you can imagine, things as you can imagine got a little tense.

Losers Circle

Fitz almost lost the election because Sally Langston’s +1  hatched a plan to win the election. Langston became holy for  day.

Did it work though?

The Plan Didn’t Work

Even when she’s tending to bomb victims, Sally Langston isn’t even close to being Jesus.

She’s more like Satan, and she lost the election.

Up To No Good

Quinn and Huck were still doing that…thing last night. There was blood involved.

Fight The Power

David Rosen got the entire B316 windfall he was waiting for.

Family Business

Huck gets a double mention because Quinn gave him the address to the family he abandoned. He was so conflicted that he literally burst into a puddle of emotion, right in Liv’s lap.

Dude’s always crying.

Casualties Of War

Mama Pope showed up to say she loves her daughter , which means death is imminent.

The casualty of this war was Fitz’s teenage son, followed by that one lady who was working with Mama Pope. She should’ve expected to die though, MP kills everybody that helps her.

Swindles-R-Us

Daddy Pope healed himself pretty quickly. He lost a lot of blood from being stabbed by his one true love, yet somehow managed to pull it together and check himself out of the hospital. Then he ran some “I put you on the heaux stroll because I care about you” pimp game on Liv. She ate it up.

Peep Game

Harrison is the only one that realized Eli Pope is rotten to the core. Only it was too late. He might die next season, and he’ll probably be wearing a trench coat…with the collar flipped up.

Out Like A Light

Liv quit her company, jumped in a crisp wool coat and headed to the nearest jet hanger to fly off into the sunset with Jake.

Good call.

See ya next season!
