Well, except for Fitz and Olivia, because for right now, Fitz and Olivia is actuallyCurtisand Olivia.
Girl, girl, girl.Whatare you doing?
you might tell Curtis is trouble, and the last thing that Olivia needs is trouble.

And while Olivia juggles that planning, Cyrus comes in to question…the seating arrangement.
But Olivia needs Cyrus to work it because this is a big donor.
Meanwhile, everyone wants to come to this super tense dinner!
So Abby locks in invitations for everyone to go and theyre all so pumped (LOL, not Huck.
Huck hates this).
So clearly thats flying like a lead balloon.
They just have to talk a little bit.
So…um, maybe its not going to be the best.
Huckcantalk to people, though.
Us too, girl.
But if theres one person who isnt missing the White House right now, its President Mellie Grant.
Yes, girl wanted the job.
Im sure she still does.
But its a lonely job.
Its an important job.
Its a job full of pressures and not so much full of sex.
Actually, per Mellies assessment, Theres a famine in my lady bits.
My vagina is beautiful, but shes being treated like a murder house.
NewScandalisperfectwhen Olivia and Mellie have their little best friend moments.
Actually, literally everyone made their way in, including Curtis.
Thats not great, either way you cut it.
But neither is the dirt Jake has found on him that could implicate him for sexual deviancy.
So, looks like president of Bashrans options are exiled, dead, or dead.
Cool, great, wonderful.
On a much less important level, its okay that Mellie is flatlining because everyone is kind of flatlining.
But this auxiliary gay man isnt here by chance.
He wants to sit with Cyrus because he wants to know how to run for governor.
Our friend isnt here to play.
At the end of the day, the president of Bashran isnt a heartless dictator.
Hes a man who just wants his niece to be able to study gender studies in the states.
And he wants to protect her, right?
He tells Olivia that hes heard about her andknowsshes the devil.
So she can forget about her treaty because he knows her character, too.
The man runs over to the presidents desk and pops a squat before saying, Screw governor.
Maybe I should drop a few mil and run for president.
And Cyrus loses his business and screams, GET UP, YOU, YOU, YOU BOOB.
He was speaking to this buff military guy, but Huck honed in on his medals.
Makes you understand why Mellie just wants a vibrator, you know?
GO GET DADDYS HOOCH, but she just pulls out a classy container, because shes aclassypresident!
And then he admits that his niece deeply admires her, and they share a moment.
Mellie is doing the thing, yall.
Its kind of aScandaldream because those two need each other.
It seems theyre getting married, guys!
And then theres Curtis.
Iknowthis is all a lot, but this Curtis situation.
Olivia gives him the scoop on Mellies deal, but she also wants a celebratory, um, handshake.
So they take that handshake back to Olivias place, but theyre not alone.
When they get off the elevator, Fitz is waiting there.
That was a lot, right?
How pumped are you to see Fitz?
I know it was easy to doubt, but yall, I think…its handled.
