It starts with Fitz alone in Vermont.
He just wants to LIVE.
And hes living like a real person…with debit cards and loyalty programs at the grocery store!
Then he gets bored with that and calls Marcus.
In short, our friend needs something to do.
Marcus, though, does not.
Hes on vacation in Havana and making out with pretty ladies.
But hes not happy with that either, so Marcus comes up to Vermont for some BRO TIME.
Fitz wants to help Mellie out, but he has to wait 100 days.
Its a respect thing, you know, as an exiting president and also ex-husband, etc.
The conversation turns to Fitzs library in particular, where Olivia will fit into it.
She has to have her own wing because shes Hillary and Beyonce and Oprah.
But Fitz isnt interested in that conversation because he just wants a drink.
So Marcus reserves them a bar and they head out.
Shes not in Vermont.
At the dinner, one of the donors refers to Marcus as Chico, he nearly loses it.
And when Fitz tells Marcus to get them another bottle of whiskey, Marcus says, Get it yourself.
So at the end of the night, Marcus quits.
And when Fitz asks him what his issue is, Marcus says, Do you not already know?
And thats when Fitz says that hes always angry.
Its alot,guys.
And Fitz turns around and calls Marcus a coward who rode Olivias coattails, then Mellies, then his.
He says it three times, and just like when you call out for Beetlejuice, TROUBLE COMES FAST.
He threatens to hit Fitz, but as Marcus moves toward him, Fitz hits first.
Mellie laughs because this is just stage two of a relationship with Fitzgerald Grant.
Anyway, Marcus tells Mellie hes proud of her, and theres a long silence.
you might literallyhearhow much they miss one another.
Oh, and hes holding that gun from Fitzs belongings.
Does this man not rest?
And man, does Rowan have absolutely no faith in his daughter.
He mentions how she killed Luna before saying, Who runs the world?
But Fitz says he cant help because those days are over.
Hes a Vermont…er now?
Help me, Vermont citizens.
Thats not a welcoming sight for Marcus, but he still shows up because were all on Team Fitz.
Thats not a chill thing to say to anyone, by the way.
Eventually, Fitz says, Marcus, is Olivia Pope everyones world?
The guy isnt too pumped to see the former president because, well, hes freezing.
He gives him his gloves and thanks him for his service.
And that leads us to Day 101.
Fitz is waiting outside Olivias apartment.
Olivia is gettin it in the elevator with Curtis.
And the world has one less Confederate statue.
Hang in there, Gladiators.
