Alright my fellow Gladiators in Suits here is part two... I know it's been a while so here are the ground rules again...
1). PAUSE IT - Get all of the outslide influences away from your inner-realm of being a SCANDALITE (unless of course they are SCANDALITES too...
2). PREP IT - get your favorite cocktail, appertizer, dinner, etc.
3.) PLAY IT - scroll down and click play on the link at the bottom to enjoy during the recap...
LOST IN A MASQUERADE
"Are we really happy here
With this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding
Understanding any way
We're lost in a mask, masquerade"
After this episode of Scandal I cannot think of a more appropriate sentiment for all of the characters on our favorite show - SCANDAL. (Side eye to all those who mention other shows accidentally....)..ANYHEW. We have all wanted a glimpse into what makes Huck's character so volatile yet sensitive, sinister yet dedicated, and intense yet quiet. Well be careful what you ask for. After his capture and imprisonment, we are taken back to Huck's induction into B6-13 as well as his wife and son that he was forced to forget. Clearly, the capturing triggered his lapse into only being to say those faithful words that titled the episode - SEVEN FIFTY TWO... we know know this as the time he sees his son each morning at the subway... We also find out that Joe Morton's character appears to be very high up in B6-13 administration and wants to know who Albatross is too. But who else is current or former B6-13.
DAMN YOU SHONDA... LOST IN A MASQUERADE
Mellie, Mellie, Mellie. You either love or hate her, there is no straddling the fence about your love or disgust. She has taken things to a new level this episode. Sister grabbed all of the first luggage - I bet it wasn't even packed. I wish Fitz would have opened it and called her bluff (my own personal drama moment)...os she is gonna move across the road and come in through the tunnels like Harriet Tubman in the Underground Railroad....WTF Mellie. I would change the locks and trap her in the tunnel, then have a search for her... Mellie do you think this will keep him from Livvie? Or do you want time to see your favorite Secret Service man who may actually be the baby daddy...IJS. If you think you are gonna ruin a re-election bid for Fitz and Cyrus, then there is a hitman with your name on it...and it may be Fitz. You will be dead to the bed and right next to Verna...
" Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play"
Harrison OH Harrison my Harrison! We finally learn a bit more about you and it is delivered to us Harrison-style (we wouldn't expect anything less. You spoke so honestly about how the power of your tongue (get ya mind outta the gutter) became the mechanism for your successes from adolescence onward. How this success has ultimately become your greatest nemesis. WOW!! YES SHONDA YESSS! He is not lost in the Masquerade. He is the Master of the Masquerade. To quote Funky Dineva, YES GAWD HUNTY! Where can I get a Mardi Gras Mask? When is the Next Ball....
MASTER OF THE MASQUERADE
I know I have been hard on Abby, and I give her some slack this time because she did provide us more insight into her allegiance to Liv and Pope & Associates and why the litmus test of her love for David vs. her allegiance to Liv was no test at all - ADVANTAGE LIV....ALWAYS. Yet her love for David

Cyrus - I just don't know what you are up to but I tip my hat to you. You have shown allegiance to Fitz. I don't know what you are doing but you got GAME. Your speed dial consists of POTUS, POPE, YOUR PARTNER, and A HITMAN. You got balls!! #NOFEAR
Quinn you showed us a little bit in your monologue but most of it we already know. Kinda vanilla for me but we know where your emotions are especially when it comes to Hollis and why. You really need Huck back at full strength so we can continue the EDUCATION OF QUINN PERKINS/LINDSAY DWYER...
TRULY LOST IN A MASQUERADE
Liv, Liv, Liv - you keep control even in the hospital. POTUS arrives and shuts down the wing with Secret Service. Jake is in the wings realizing a lot without a word being said. Fitz refuses to leave and pledges his love for you. You get out and run to Huck's side and snaps him out of his "Ode to 752"...and I saw you in that white coat. This is why Huck, Harrison, Abby and Quinn devote their allegiance to you. And so do all of the SCANDALITES!
"Thoughts of weeping disappear
Every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try, oooh
To understand the reasons
That we carry on this way
We're lost in a mask, masquerade"
Where was David Rosen? Has he disappeared in the masquerade?
Respectfully and humbly submitted,
Willie J. Broussard Jr. - SCANDALITE, Gladiator in Suit
AND...SCENE!!!
AND......SCENE!!!
