Scandal season 7, episode 5 live stream: Watch online
Last week, Olivia seemed to question her dedication to the Republic. What turn of events happens this week in Scandal season 7, episode 5?
With all the major players back in the Capitol, the ensuing twists and turns might be even more unexpected in Scandal season 7. So many questions are up in the air.
Will Fitz be able to soften Olivia? Can Mellie’s Presidency be more powerful than her predecessors? Just what happened to the dinosaur?
According to TV Guide, Scandal‘s episode this week, “Adventures in Babysitting,” won’t be a retro movie.
"Olivia and Mellie assert their power like never before. Meanwhile, Cyrus seeks congressional approval to declare war in Bashran; and QPA keep close watch on President Rashad’s niece."
Last week’s episode ended with Olivia confronting her father. If Olivia is truly Command, can she make the harsh decisions required for that position. Granted, she has been strict with her father, but does anyone really believe that she could kill her own father? Even that decision would be a far stretch for the new Olivia.
So far, Olivia and Mellie have proved to be a strong White House team. While Olivia is the power behind the Oval, she seems to be guiding Mellie in the best possible direction. Even though Mellie wants to be strong, her vulnerabilities keep appearing. Why does Mellie need a romantic relationship plot line? Should a decision to go to war be based on a crush? I’m not trying to be naïve, but a strong woman doesn’t necessarily need a man around.
Lastly, the QPA plot line still seems forced. Yes, last week’s connection to missing girls was a real, important issue. But, the connection with QPA and the rest of the episode seemed superficial. With QPA making another connection, I wonder if it is really necessary. The two worlds don’t fit together as well as the old OPA.
Of course, no one can truly predict the twists and turns of Scandal. Who would watch all the episodes if we could figure out what would happen next? Time to grab that glass of wine and bowl of popcorn.
Here’s how to watch.
