Olivia Pope is kidnapped. Not only kidnapped, kidnapped by professionals who are trained to move in and out. This isn't just B613. No one in B613 is trustworthy enough for this, so they are automatically ruled out.

From the very beginning I was suspicious of our added inmate, for very obvious reasons. Olivia Pope is precious cargo, why would they throw her in the cell with someone else? Also, his story changed three separate times. First he had only been there for a few days, then he said he couldn't remember and then finally he admitted that he had been here a long time. Also, he always reverts back to being super fragile after being way too touchy feely with her, it's a trick and a ploy.

Olivia had to know that there was no one else in those rooms. No one shouting and yelling, begging to be freed or even the sounds of plates scraping against the floor. I noted that from the very beginning which meant that nine times out of then she is still on US soil. 

Andrew is a dick. A complete dick. He wants to break Olivia to get to Fitz (Not to mention something about AN OIL COMPANY IN WEST FUCKING ANGOLA. PLEASE BRING BACK HOLLIS DOYLE. PRETTY PLEASE WITH EVERYTHING ON TOP). Also... can everyone stop using Olivia to get to Fitz? Why don't you personally fuck up his life instead of using her as a bargaining chip? 

Olivia is always saving people and is need of saving the only person who really matters, herself. Granted, Olivia (and all of us) don't know what's waiting outside that parking garage. She could have shot him but then what....

This man just took someone who was very important to a lot of dangerous people. I'm not sure how far in the loop Andrew is but I very seriously doubt his knowledge of B613 and that Olivia is the daughter of the man who runs the entire thing. Not to mention her mother who escaped the bowels of the justice system and would do it again in a heartbeat for her baby girl. 

That dream sequence broke my heart. Call me what you want but I was squealing through the whole thing, I knew it was fake but it was good to get even a smidge bit of insight on what she truly wants. Also, Olivia is slowly sinking back into the person she was before. Determined. Savior. Gladiator. Damn it we've missed her, but like all things this comes with baby steps. 

I question Olivia's tears. I don't question them because I'm a heartless bitch, I question them because Olivia doesn't cry. They could be real but it also could have been used to buy her time. That may be a bit of a reach but eh... It's Shondaland, anything could happen. 

This episode was Kerry-centric and I loved it. I loved it a lot. I loved everything about it. I loved that we get old Olivia back... at least a bit. I was itching to hear her tell them she's not out of options. 

AND THE MOTHERFUCKING GREEK ALLEGORY REFERENCE (that's been 3 seasons in the making) IS REARING IT'S UGLY SHIT HEAD. THE FACE THAT LAUNCHED A THOUSAND SHIPS. LIKE... BITCH. THE WRITER IN ME IS BOWING TO SHONDA AND THANKING GOD FOR HER EXISTENCE. UGH. THAT IS SO GREAT. I am... I don't know. It was a lot to take in but it was great. 

Everyone was like 'meh it was cool, she got kidnapped'
