It’s just another test she failed in Rowan’s eyes. She pulls the trigger…to an empty chamber. In that split second, she could exact revenge on him for killing Harrison, Jerry, hurting Fitz, her god-awful childhood, her inability to love or trust anyone and she does it. She grabs the gun and realizes that she could end it. The unnerving music in the background, Olivia’s frank fear when he pulls the gun, and Rowan’s borderline foaming-at-the-mouth had me wondering who was gonna up with lead in them. That scene, Rowan and Olivia at her dining room table, was stressful. Smith, with “Endless Love,” by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie playing in the background.īack to Rowan, at this point, I don’t actually believe that Rowan would shoot his own daughter, but his deteriorating mental status when he surprises Olivia at her apartment does cause me to reconsider my position. Not that pocket, his legit jacket pocket. They end up back in bed in a very random scene, but she finds her own kill card in Charlie’s pocket. Quinn, for some reason, alerts Charlie that he’s also a target. Sir, you rolled SWAT team-like into an empty safehouse certain that Rowan was there…and he wasn’t. I think what irritates me most about Jake is his smugness that he’s the best spy in the game. He then spends the rest of the episode being a day late and a dollar short chasing Rowan around Washington DC. Anyway, Jake kills the first guy who came after him and alerts everyone to the new plan. Two outta three of those people I named are expendable. Rowan has sent out literal kill cards for all members of B613 (It’s like he read my recaps), so everyone from Jake, to Quinn, to Olivia for knowing as much as they do are fair game. Maya isn’t giving boo up unless it helps her. Also, Olivia’s tears do not work on Maya (That’s strong mom game tho). Like of all people in the entire world, you compare your daughter to her child-murdering father.
Her shouting at Maya to demand any information about his whereabouts if futile because Maya could give not one single eff with “Girl, you need to move on. More importantly, she’s not joking about finding and killing Rowan. As for my father, hunt him, find him, and kill him,” she just made her Christmas shopping list two people shorter. With her declaration of “Charge her and lock her up. Olivia Pope is not here for her parents any-more. Olivia Pope, the Fed Up, Tired, and Over the Edge Only Child Of course, the last two minutes throw everything else out of the window, but here’s what I took away from “Where the Sun Don’t Shine.” I’m finally seeing Cyrus get his groove back, Rowan start to go down the rabbit hole, Olivia actually choose herself (sorta), and Jake remaining Jake. This is what I was rooting for: a strong winter finale to keep me wanting to watch this show.
