Sabia’s Scandal Hiatus Flashback: “Olivia will be there?”
Our boy. Cyrus is trying to have a serious discussion/consultation with him about how to handle the AT situation once and for all and save himself from professional and personal ruin.
Yet the only thing Fitz is concerned about is confirming that Olivia will be at the meeting. A meeting that would be one of the most uncomfortable and embarrassing moments in his life, even more so with Olivia being present.
Still Fitz’, only focus is if he would have the chance to clap eyes on Olivia again. See her. Talk to her. Interact with her in some way.
I know so much has happened in their relationship since this scene, but we have continued to see that one thing still holds true. There is a visceral connection between Fitz and Olivia to just be in the same space. To see each other. Whether they’re working or fighting or madly in love, they both seem to have a need to be around each other, even if its across a crowded room.
So much has changed, but so much remains the same.
First Lady Michelle Obama and actress Kerry Washington will visit Savoy Elementary School in Anacostia today (5/24/13.)
Obama and Washington will watch a student performance and visit individual classrooms, according to a statement from the White House.
Washington, the star of ABC’s Scandal, adopted the Savoy school under The Turnaround Arts Initiative, which is part of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities.
The actress is a member of the committee of which the first lady is honorary chairwoman.
Arts Advocacy Day 2011: Kerry Washington (April 2011)
Kerry Washington, honorary Arts Advocacy Day co-chair, shares stories from her earliest experiences in the arts to the importance of arts funding.
Sabia Says: Great to hear Kerry talk in more detail about her passion for the arts and the need for arts advocacy as she and First Lady Michelle Obama visit Savoy Elementary today as part of Kerry’s involvement with Turnaround Arts, an initiative that is part of President Obama’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities.
Kerry Washington is, to put it bluntly, the effing best. We’ve loved her since she played Julia Stiles’s scene-stealing BFF in Save The Last Dance, and we love that she’s now the first black female lead in a network drama since 1974 (1974!!!!!!) , playing Olivia Pope on Shonda Rimes’s hit Scandal. She also has the best red carpet game out there (Zoe Saldana is on par with her, MAYBE) and is a reliably funny and charming presence in interviews. And after watching her commencement speech to the 2013 graduating class at her alma mater George Washington University, we have about a million more reasons to love her.

Fitz isn’t the only one who gets jealous now is he?
Some people often forget that Olivia went freaking nuclear on Fitz when the AT incident happened. She had 20/20 on speed dial and was ready to bring down his administration a couple of times.
All this to protect stupid, slutty AT? How about NO?
All this because the man that she loved had some kind of sexual encounter with another woman while they were BROKEN UP after SHE LEFT HIM via a RESIGNATION LETTER just after professing her undying love for him.
So yeah, Fitz goes on his jealous rage-filled benders, but let’s not forget Livvie does too when she gets a bee in her bonnet. And I must give Fitz some leeway because he’s had to SEE photo/video evidence of Olivia with other men. That shit it hard to “un-see”.
These two crazy kids.
