Scandal

I can confirm that, yes, as of early this morning,

United States forces have successfully dismantled

all the remaining drones.

Carol.

What about the people responsible?

Unfortunately, I'm unable to tell you

anything more at this time.

The important thing to remember here, folks,

is that the threat is now gone.

Are there any more questions?

With all this behind him,

what will President Grant be focusing on

in his final days of office?

The President will continue to be

both passionate and eager, Carol,

with a long list of interests he still hopes to tackle.

The transition of power

will be both successful and easy,

not just for the President-Elect,

but for the country as well.

Today, Americans should be feeling excited

about what lies ahead,

invigorated by the promises of tomorrow.

Well...

what do you think?

I think you should have told me

what a maid of honor has to do.

Well, is it too much? Not enough?

No.

You look beautiful.

Now, I don't have too many more chances

to stand up here in front of all you lovely people,

and, well, avoid your questions.

But, I, for one, am more optimistic

about this country's future now more than ever.

We may just have another week-and-a-half left here,

but we are not done.

We're not even close to being done.

Nine more days left of this.

Nine more days.

Trust me, people, when we're finished...

you'll know.

Mr. Rosen, of all the people I expected to see me off,

you were not on the list.

- You're leaving? - I am.

Retiring.

My work here is finally done.

At long last.

She is headed off

to the American Museum of Natural History,

and I am heading off to white sand beaches,

crystal-blue water.

I trust you are not here

to try to keep that from happening.

- No. No, no, no. - Good.

Because the assassination of Frankie Vargas

is a closed case, is it not?

It is, yes. Absolutely.

No, I'm not here in any official capacity.

Ah. I'm here...

Well, I'm here to ask about Samantha,

the mean one with the ponytail.

- She and I, we were... - Yes. I know.

I've been trying to figure out what her real name is.

She gave me another one during the interrogation...

Grace Dennis... But it was another dead end.

She ever say anything to you,

leave anything behind

that might help me identify her?

- A credit-card receipt? - Mnh-mnh.

She had a toothbrush in my bathroom, red.

I threw it away.

Now I wish I had kept it.

I could run her DNA through the system,

identify her that way.

Or perhaps, Mr. Rosen,

it's time to move on?

If you knew how it felt to be used,

someone pretends to love you

and then uses you to try to torpedo democracy...

But you're leaving on a trip,

and I'm taking up your time.

Safe travels.

Wait.

I, um...

I may have something that could help.

- These all pardon petitions? - Uh-huh.

I need to choose which convicted prisoners

to pardon by the end of the week.

You know you have dozens of people

to sort through these for you.

I'm being thorough...

Hands on.

You're being irresponsible,

because you're scared.

Scared? Of what?

Of Abby.

Of trusting Abby.

- I want this done right. - Hmm.

You need to talk to her, Fitz.

Have the difficult conversation.

Either you let her back in or you let her go.

Don't you have another President to challenge and annoy?

I do.

Mm.

Today's schedule...

You've got Marcus at 11:00.

He'll prep you for the BNC interview,

tell you what kind of questions you're likely to be asked.

Then at 2:00 we've got Ackerman coming over for pardons.

His aide gave me a heads up last night

about which petitions he'll be pushing.

I could stay...

Tell you which ones I'd recommend.

It's being taken care of.

Why don't you take the rest of the day and work from home?

Everything's good here.

Work from home? Sir, let's not do this.

- Do what? - "Work from home."

When have I ever worked from home?

When have I ever done anything

but serve you and serve this office?

You really want me to answer that?

I asked you to be a friend.

I told you about all the horrible things I did

because I needed a friend and you agreed,

and now you're holding it against me.

You asked Liv to forgive me.

She did.

Why can't you?

Fine.

I'll go and work from home.

Since we can't decide on a single place for our honeymoon,

let's just work our way through the Caribbean ABCs...

Aruba, Barbados, Cuba...

We won't have time to go to all those places.

I can't be away from the office that long.

What office? The election is over.

Mellie's about to be sworn in,

and we haven't had a case in forever.

Trust me, Robin,

Olivia's already got one foot out the door.

Liv's leaving?

Of course not.

There's no OPA without O.P.

Exactly my point...

Once she gets in that White House,

sayonara, muchachos.

No way Liv shuts us down.

This is her legacy, right, Huck?

I don't know. Maybe.

Guys, the writing is all over the walls.

This happened all the time at B613.

Remember Belize? That was a sweet outpost.

We had a great run for, like, six, seven months, right?

Zip-lining, cave tubing,

political assassinations...

It was... It was a party.

Next thing you know, it's last call,

the lights get turned on,

and we knew we only had time for one more drink

before we get home.

What are these?

- Petitions for a presidential pardon. - Mine make the cut?

The White House wants to execute a high-profile pardon,

something clean with little blowback.

Dig in, find something.

We need a slam-dunk case

that will reflect well on the President.

So much for your sayonara.

See? Liv's not going anywhere.

What is wrong with you?

You look...

- What's wrong with you? - Can I come in?

- Why? - Thanks.

- David... - Sorry.

I-I need to put this in the freezer or the fridge,

but there was no room in my freezer or my fridge,

and I thought Abby has a massive freezer and fridge,

which is bizarre because she never has any food anywhere.

Why is that?

Why do you have such a big fridge if you don't use it?

- You eat. I've seen you eat, so... - David, stop.

What's going on?

I-I-I need to put the box, uh, somewhere cold.

- What's in the box? - I-I don't want to say.

- You better say. - I don't want to say.

- You better say. - You know how they say

- "Be careful what you wish for"? - David.

- Be careful what you wish for. - Give me that.

- No, Abby, Abby... Abby! - David, stop it!

Shut up and sit down.

Sit!

What is this?

David, is this some kind of joke, or...?

David...

Is this a human head?

Yes.

Where did you get that?

- It was a gift. - A gift?
