On Scandal Season 4 Episode 13, a familiar face from Olivia's past made a shocking return in order to rescue our favorite lead Gladiator from an ugly fate.
The installment opened with Olivia doing what she does best: manipulating a situation to her advantage and torpedoing a trade-off with Iran by using some Farsi to make both sides distrustful of the other.
As a result, Olivia ended up back on the auction block.
And this time, Huck, Quinn and Jake were able to get their bid, even scaring even the likes of ISIS (really!) away from the bargaining table.
When bidding closed, "Marie Wallace" was tied with the Russians - and since Olivia possesses the worst poker face at the totally worst times, the lead villain decided to go with the Russian conglomerate.
But then, with Cyrus having teamed with the CIA to terminate the threat to Fitz (i.e. Olivia) via a missile as soon as she's given to the Russians, a last-second save:
Over the grainy satellite footage, Cyrus recognizes the man behind the winning bid: IT'S FINCH!!!!!!
Turns out, the Scandal Season 1 character played by Henry Ian Cusick was tracked down and summoned to the rescue by a desperate Abby, who knew he was chilling in St. Petersburg these days.
Olivia was mighty happy to see Finch, of course, but she first nabbed one of his guys' guns and shot her tormenter, a dramatic killing you can relive when you watch Scandal online.
Later at a helipad, the former OPA colleagues shared a warmer moment, where Olivia even offered him his old office back. But Stephen declined, explaining he's happy where he is now.
"You saved me, and I never thought I'd have the chance to return the favor," Finch said.
Kerry Washington's breakout role came in the Julia Stiles-driven film Save the Last Dance. She played Chenille, a teen mother who befriends Stiles' character.
One of Tony Goldwyn's first major roles came as Carl Bruner, the guy who killed Patrick Swayze in Ghost. But hey, if he hadn't killed his best friend, we wouldn't have gotten that pottery scene and Unchained Melody wouldn't mean anything.
NOEL!!!! Scott Foley's time on Felicity led to his marriage to Jennifer Garner (before she cheated on him with Michael Vartan. WHO CHEATS ON SCOTT FOLEY!?!? NO ONE, THAT'S WHO!)
Is he a bad guy? Is he a good guy? NO ONE CAN DECIDE! One thing we know is that Scott Foley as Jake Ballard adds a certain something-something to the Olivia Pope love drama.
On Scandal, Bellamy Young turned what started as a three episode guest appearance into a full-fledged character, Mellie Grant, the First Lady everyone loves and loves to hate.
Terrence Steadman was a central figure on Prison Break. Lincoln Burrows was framed for his murder. That sounds like a character right up Jeff Perry's alley.
These days, Jeff Perry plays Cyrus Beene, a gay Republican White House Chief of Staff convinced his man is the best man for the job because it puts him closer to power.
Guillermo Diaz played a character named Scarface in the Dave Chappelle comedy Half Baked. He later reprised the role for several episodes of Chappelle's Show.
As Abby Whelan, Darby Stanchfield plays one of the most polarizing Gladiators. Some people love her. Some people hate her. She'll go over the cliff for Olivia Pope no matter what.
David Rosen was supposed to be a guest role only, but fans reacted so well, and Shonda loved Joshua Malina so much, she decided to keep him around. For now.
Joe Morton showed up on Scandal as a mystery man called Command. It was later revealed that he is Olivia Pope's father, Rowan Pope. He's the baddest of the bad.
The End.

Things later got heated (no, not like that!) at home with Fitz, as Olivia railing at him for declaring war over one person.
Olivia grows so disgusted and disappointed that she hurls at Fitz the ring Huck had just returned to her possession.
Also of note this week:
Andrew threatens Mellie, saying if he can never hold the high office, he'll make she won't ever be able to either.
At that, the First Lady tells Elizabeth to "show some solidarity" and silence Andrew.
Enter Liz going to Huck and Huck using one syringe and three rolls of Saran Wrap to stroke out Andrew, making him incapable of telling anyone anything.
WOW. What a shocking hour of television, huh?
We have an extra week to digest all the developments because Scandal Season 4 Episode 14 does not air until Thursday, March 5 on ABC.
