Scandal season 7 episode 16 live stream: Watch online
Can anyone just have a happy ending on Scandal? Will Olivia honor Mellie’s sinister request or will she stay on the good path?
Another week and another Shondaland twist on Scandal season 7. With Cyrus trying to get Mellie impeached, Olivia is thrust back into a familiar role.
Will Olivia slide back to the dark side, or will she solve this latest problem without another death on her conscience?
On this week’s episode, Scandal season 7 episode 16, “People Like Me,” the synopsis states
"On the heels of her commitment to turn over a new leaf, personal turmoil strikes Olivia once again when Mellie demands that she get rid of Cyrus."
One of the concerning story lines in this final season of Scandal has been Mellie’s lack of conviction. First, Mellie didn’t want to know Olivia’s dirty work. She happily led a blind existence. That scenario seemed to be the best situation. Mellie focused on running the country, and Olivia provided the best possible environment for her.
As Mellie became involved and irked by the dirty work, her position as President suffered. Her judgment was clouded, and she became vulnerable. If Mellie had just continued to trust Olivia, she wouldn’t be in this perilous situation.
Truthfully, the idea that Olivia could kill Cyrus and keep Mellie away from the blame seems unlikely. Cyrus’ untimely death would definitely cause an investigation. Also, if the attempt was a failure, it would only make Cyrus more popular and likely to take over the Oval.
Is there an alternative solution to the Cyrus problem? If there is one, Olivia will surely figure it out. Unfortunately, she might have to get her hands dirty again.
