Recap

Jake is an innocent man. He knew this all along. Now others know it as well. Olivia and Fitz want to take down Rowan. Jake only wants blood. He insists that the president address him as Captain Ballard. Only his friends call him Jake. Olivia convinces him that killing Rowan is not an option. Such vengeance is for those who sit in the darkness. They stand in the sun. Jake mentions the thousands of B613 files he has stashed away. It’s a plethora of incriminating evidence. The president extends his hand. Captain Ballard shakes it. No hard feelings. Vice President Andrew Nichols takes a moment to shake hands with the kitchen staff at the hotel where he was giving a speech. BOOM! The car he was headed toward before his unplanned detour is blown up in a terrorist act. Andrew assures a worried Mellie that he’s okay after the bombing. If his injuries were more severe, he wouldn’t be able to straddle the First Lady like he does. Mellie admits that the bomb woke her up. She asks Andrew for a second chance. Judging by the passionate kiss they share, the vice president is up for that.

He wants her to stop Elizabeth from destroying him as well as the president. Olivia orders Cyrus to stay away from Michael after finding out there are pictures and videos of the two of them. That’s easier said than done. Olivia confronts Michael as to why he didn’t give away more secrets to the woman who hired him.

4x08 - Jake Ballard and Olivia Pope 01

David Rosen hears about the incriminating B613 files from Olivia, Fitz and Jake. Of course, he already knows all about them. This is something he and Jake are keeping between them for the moment. David is tasked with finding a legal way to discreetly take down Rowan. Fitz wants Olivia to kiss her. He realizes that she feels that doing so would seem like she’s being disloyal to Jake. That doesn’t stop the president from telling her to kiss him again, and again, and again. Finally, Liv kisses Fitz. She then moves to leave. She wants Fitz to go in another direction. The only problem with this is that they are in a bunker. There’s only one way out. Fitz smiles as Olivia hurries off without him. Rowan assures Olivia that he is her father. He is her family. He will always be there waiting for her after those “boys” are done with her. Later, Olivia stands in the background as Fitz and Jake argue about the best way to take down Rowan. She calls her father while in tears. She tells him he was right. All those “boys” want to do is fight. She claims it was never about her. Rowan is compassionate to his daughter’s pain. He has no idea it’s all an act to lure him into the light.
