BWW Recap: Liv Just Can't Wait to be Kink(y) on SCANDAL

Huck is continuing his downward spiral at disturbing lengths as Olivia is trying out an alternative method to cure her PTSD. Lena Dunham (and that wig) guest stars on this week's SCANDAL.

There is a tell-all book about to hit the stands in DC and Abby knows that it's true because one of the male participants happens to be her new boyfriend, Leo. She brings it to Liv who immediately tracks down the author, Suzanne Thomas (Guest Star, Lena Dunham) and threatens her to stop the publishing. But Suzanne is not going away that easily. She wants $3 Million hush money. Pope and Associates are able to break into Suzanne's apartment to scan the book and figure out who all these mystery men are. When they figure all out but one, the Doctor, Abby realizes DR isn't his occupation, it's his initials: David Rosen. (Abby sure has a type, doesn't she?) Olivia gathers all the men into her office and tell them if they all pay $175,000.00, they can pay Suzanne off. David is infuriated and refuses to pay. When they dig a little deeper into Suzanne's life, they realize the book isn't about money, it's about revenge on her ex-boss who humiliated her, fired her and then blackballed her in D.C. Olivia steps in and gets her a lawyer to sue for wrongful termination and gets her job interviews as well. Suzanne is satisfied.

Mellie has decided to run for Senator in Virginia and Jake and Fitz are meeting secretly to inform each other on Liv's progress. Liv is still experiencing some heavy PTSD flashbacks. She decides to take a new approach to dealing with them and taking a cue from Suzanne's book, she seduces a stranger under a false name. Jake does not inform Fitz. Abby decides to resign with the impending book scandal and Cyrus really doesn't care. Cyrus also approaches Elizabeth and extorts her once again to get votes for Fitz's bill on police body cameras. Tired of being under his blackmail reign, she offers her services as campaign manager to Mellie.

Huck goes to see Rosen and demands Immunity in exchange for his testimony and he won't accept anything less as he wants his family back. When Huck and Quinn visit Suzanne, she is being held at gunpoint by one of the subjects of her book. Huck takes the knife and tells the man to take off and promptly slits Suzanne's throat. Yeah... that happened. (I may or may not have screamed). He was afraid she would talk and Rosen would lose his job and he would lose his immunity. All are horrified at Suzanne's death, even David Rosen who grieves to Huck that he feels that somehow he (David) was responsible. Huck is silent as he signs the immunity agreement.

OK, I love me some Huck. But dude is seriously off the rails. I know he is so desperate to get his family back that it is all he can see, but I don't know how much longer Quinn and Olivia can cover for him. It's out of control. Is there some sort of a group both he and Liv can join? These people need support!

I do like the teaming of Elizabeth and Mellie. There's a power women duo. I'm glad that Portia De Rossi is being put to more use than just that of a political schemer. Conversely, Cyrus is just being a douche. What is his end game, here, to make everyone hate him? Is he seriously this miserable? Is he bitter at the love fest Fitz and Jake are having lately? And Olivia seemed pretty unphased by that news, didn't she? I know if two of my ex-boyfriends were hanging out nightly drinking whiskey talking about me... dear God...

Lines I Love:

• David Rosen - It's just the two of us; Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. You can be Newman, I'm fine with Redford.

• Suzanne Thomas - You're Olivia Pope. In political circles that's like saying you've been to the moon. You've stood on the mountaintop, you make Rumsfeld look like a Nanny, that's how badass you are. You and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, that's it. That's all we've got.

• David Rosen - You are a Justice of the US Supreme Court, You are the Deputy Secretary of Defense. You, I have no idea who you are, but you shouldn't be involved either. Him, I understand
