Scandal Recap: Diego Muñoz Returns & Abby Takes Charge

Who is Huck? Now you know! #Scandal pic.twitter.com/pygixi90DT— Scandal (@ScandalABC) March 13, 2015 We're a little late on this recap, but this was an episode worthy of another look. Let's go ahead and tackle the first part of that headline: Diego Muñoz is Huck. In a previous episode, Huck gave his wife a ton of B613 files in the hopes of proving to her that he didn't just ditch his family. Not only is she now convinced, she's taken the information to AG David Rosen's office hoping to blow the lid off of this ghastly thing happening in the US government. When Huck goes to Rosen's office to give testimony about B613, it at first looks like he's going to be tight-lipped about it. But when he's asked about "the hole," Huck reveals a ton of frightening details about how you keep your sanity in this dark, small space that he was forced to inhabit. "You have to have a routine or you'll go crazy," he says. He measured the size of the hole each day. Ate his lunch at the same time even when there was no food. Wrote letters to his wife and son. And used his imagination to take him to 195 countries where he walked and walked. Did you have tears in your eyes during this #Scandal moment? Huck's description of "the hole" was super emotional. https://t.co/m8WlxYJs6A— Scandal (@ScandalABC) March 13, 2015 Deep breath. Sip of wine. Annnnd we're back. So you have to wonder whether this is really the end of B613. Of course, AG Rosen knew all about it. Now that it's been discussed openly, he wants to "catch the bad guys." Jake is understandably wary. But Papa Pope isn't in charge anymore and they've been kind of quiet, so maybe? Who are we kidding... something is bound to happen. Back at the White House, Sen. Susan Ross decides to go full looney bird during her introductory press conference despite media training from Abby and unleashes a sound that should never be heard coming from someone in a position of power. Awesome! Susan Ross on @JimmyKimmelLive!!! #Scandal https://t.co/Kztj1ybSkl— Scandal (@ScandalABC) March 13, 2015 That happened indeed. So where do you go from here? To Leo Bergen, a government PR consultant that we've seen in past episodes and the man that Abby is getting it on with now. (Also, he's the ex on Girls Guide to Divorce, FYI.) But Leo gets a little too overzealous and Sen. Ross quits. Which prompts Abby to fire him. While they're getting ready for bed. Ouch. So Leo takes out his mouth guard, puts on his pants annnnd he's outta there. So that also happened. And where's Liv while all of this is happening? Skulking around her apartment with a gun, shell shocked from her kidnapping. But she gets to shine when Abby comes to her to replace Leo. Liv manages to get Sen. Ross thoroughly prepared for a sharp appearance before the Senate committee charged with confirming her. But the officials on the committee still don't like Fitz. Which is ridiculous if you ask us. Lots of selfie requests so... #ScandaI #TGIT pic.twitter.com/DpNN84dVm1— Tony Goldwyn (@tonygoldwyn) March 13, 2015 He can be president, vice president and Secretary of Transportation if we have any say on the matter... because he's driving us crazy! LOL... groan. But OK misguided Senate people. They're angry about the way he went to war with West Angola, so Liv suggests he go to the Senate to beg for forgiveness. He's not happy with that suggestion, but we get a tension-filled stare down between Olitz and guess who goes to the Hill to talk to the Democratic caucus? So Sen. Ross becomes VP. And it turns out Leo is kind of a freak and enjoys being fired by a woman in power. He even asks Abby to wear sexy boots the next time she does it. In the final moments of the show, we really get to focus on Liv. She's been helping Rose (Marla Gibbs aka the woman who went to OPA asking for "the Black lady") find Lois, the older woman who was shot and killed in her apartment when Olivia was kidnapped. It turns out that Rose and Lois met 60 years ago as kids and were separated by Lois' parents when they realized the girls were gay. Lois went on to get married and have children, but after her husband's death, she phoned Rose and the two came together. They spent each day with one another and Rose knows something terrible has happened when she hasn't seen her partner in three weeks. Huck and Quinn find Lois' body in Maryland and bring it back to DC, where Rose is reunited with the body in a funeral home. As Rose cries in her grief, saying things will never be the same (and ripping our heart out, TBH), Liv thinks back to her own life. Kisses with Fitz and Jake, her time on the beach... and you get the feeling she's wondering whether her life will be the same as well. But when we close out, she's finally thrown out the wine-stained couch cushion that was a reminder of that awful day she was abducted and she's sitting in front of her usual meal -- popcorn and a big 'ol glass of wine. We know she'll be fine eventually. It's our Olivia Pope! #Scandal pic.twitter.com/BMYPQXSgZT— Scandal (@ScandalABC) March 13, 2015
