This is one of the first episodes where I've actually been blown away by Kerry's performance. She was great. And I'm excited to see where things go.

I thought this show couldn't get more over the top. I was completely wrong.

Scandal.... what the fuck?

Only Scandal could justify a scene where Olivia smiles to herself after convincing her kidnapper to sell her into slavery. Mind bogglingly batshit insane, and I love it.

Scandal, this season has been crazy but also fantastic.

While I enjoyed this episode, Shonda: Solve this kidnapping arc, please and not let it drag through the rest of the season.

Liv's been through enough already.

That's more like it. Best episode since the midseason finale.

The fans were right (based on what I saw on social media) that Stephen Finch was the one to Save Olivia.

I was cheering Olivia on when she kicked the bad guy 11 times!!! A hell lot better than Liz on The Blacklist when she is always whining and playing the victim.

Yes, II LOVED that twist!!!!

This episode was amazing.

I was a bit taken aback by last night's episode. Almost nothing happened that was batshit crazy in a Scandal sort of way, and they were actually going for a powerful message. I dunno if it pulled everything off, but I appreciate the effort to change things up. Courtney B. Vance will probably get a guest Emmy nomination.

I will, however, give this episode credit for being a more effective examination of the Michael Brown/Eric Garner/Ferguson type of thing than that uncharacteristically poor episode of The Good Wife a few months ago.

The latest episode was bad mostly because Guillermo Diaz is the WORST actor ever and his crying scene was laughable.

lol

Scandal has toned down the crazy, and I think it was needed after that batshit cray story.

Ugh. Huck. DIE. Does every damn episode have to have one of his ridiculously overacted crying monologues? I HATE him, maybe more than any other character on television.

Lena Dunham was good in her guest spot though - it was fun.

The second half of Scandal this season has now lost my interest. Ever since the kidnapping plot, the show has gone downhill. The Lawn Chair was fantastic but the others have ranged from terrible to barely memorable.

Yeah, Scandal lost all kinds of momentum so of course they had to bring Papa Pope to finish him once and for all.

Already mourning Jake and the loss of Scott Foley as eye candy. I'm inconsolable!

Holy shit.

Papa.Pope.is.unstoppable.

Goodbye Jake.

Papa Pope needs to die already. I'm so tired of his endless awful, scenery chewing monologues. It was really entertaining at first but it's gotten beyond old.

The season needs to end with him dying. The problem is they have made him so fucking untochable I can't see how they're writting him off.

LOL he's the best part of this show. Also...

I mean.... I couldn't get most of the batshit cray thigs that happened on the episode, but dammit!

Rowan is EVERYWHERE.

Can they make Popa Pope even cooler?

I am DEAD at his big plan being getting involved in Mellie's campaign

The way they took Roawn out was such a stupid fucking bullshit.

And Olivia and the president AGAIN?I can't.

After sleeping on it.

Fitz needs to take a fucking seat. Does he remember he shot down a plane full innocent people?

Ugh, he's THE WORST. I hate that heacts asif his this big shining angel. But I guess Olivia and him deserve each other.

The season finale was, frankly, a damn mess. After all the hype the cast tried to drum up about it, I was just like...really?

I hope Shonda and her writers take the summer to reexamine what the hell they're doing and right the ship. I never want to hear the phrase "B6-13" ever again.

LOL at A.V. Club giving this an "F" for last night's episode. I haven't seen that happen since episodes for "Glee" and the second season of "The Following."
