So... did Olivia do it?
Did she successfully take down her father to close out Scandal Season 4?
Simply put, as you'll note in our recap below: eh, kind of...
On Scandal Season 4 Episode 22, picked right up from last week, with Mellie taking her meeting with Rowan. Once he starts to run his "causes" by her, the man masquerading as Damascus Bainbridge makes his agenda clear:
He has a lot of dirt on both Mellie and Fitz and, in exchange for keeping it a secret, he wants the name of the panelists on the B613 grand jury.
Mellie gives in and tasks Lizzie with digging them up.
Oops, though, because this led to a bus shuttling the jurors to be gunned down... by Huck. Because Rowan had made death threats against his family.
In the wake of this execution, Lizzie, tells Fitz that Mellie is working with Rowan and that the First Lady was complicit in the slaughter, to which Fitz screams at the First Lady:
Get out of my (White) House!
Mellie did win the Senate seat in the end. But my doing even more than selling her soul, we'd say.
Rowan also threatened Cyrus this week, threatening the Chief of Staff to force him to silence the B613 takedown campaign.
Cyrus acquiesces, even targeting his attorney general's "pressure point," Abby.
In response, David compels Olivia and Jake (who has been detained by the CIA after attempting to get its director involved) to recant any statements - or else.
Did anyone come out on top in this finale? Yes.
Olivia failed to get the CIA involved in taking down B613. But she did land Elijah Pope behind bars - on embezzlement charges.
She also was prompted by Jake to go after what she is "owed" in order to be with the man she loves back.
And so we close with Liv appearing on the White House balcony, "Here Comes the Sun" playing in the background.
