Buy Scandal: Mrs. Smith Goes to Washington
Huck is taking a personal day.
We get personal days?
This episode really knocked me out, no question. The main plot follows a woman who comes to Washington and hires Olivia to find out the truth about her son’s death. It’s being sold that he had become radicalized and was killed in a raid on a terrorist cell, but she refuses to believe it. The twists and turns this plot takes really had me on the edge of my seat and it has probably the darkest, most disturbing ending of any “case of the week” I’ve seen so far. The carry-over stuff works too; it’s got a really riveting plot thread involving Huck, Rowan and the mysterious Remington mission. This one’s a real masterpiece. 4 stars
tl;dr – really grim “case of the week” has twists, turns and a real sucker punch; continuing story is riveting as well. 4 stars.
