Senator Davis (Norm Lewis) brings Olivia (Kerry Washington) a pair of new clients, parents (Eve Gordon, Todd Waring) of a missing graduate student. Harrison (Columbus Short) discovers the story of the sweet angel Olivia Pope & Associates sold to the press to increase the profile of the case is far from the truth as the girl is actually an infamous blogger known for sleeping around with D.C.’s finest and brightest and blogging anonymously about how lousy each of them is in bed. As the 24-hour news cycle runs with the far more salacious promiscuous slut angle, Olivia and her team try and piece together the final days leading up to her disappearance by pulling clues from her blog.

Olivia (Kerry Washington) is approached by an excitable new client, a data programmer for the NSA who has proof that the United States Government is spying on American citizens inside the United States. After stealing evidence of “Thorngate,” a program that uses computers, cellphones, and tablets as cameras and recording devices, Artie (Patrick Fischler) shows up in Olivia’s car begging for her protection. Both Abby (Darby Stanchfield) and Harrison (Columbus Short) believe the man is crazy and after a cursory examination of the flash drive Huck (Guillermo Díaz) can find no evidence to support Artie’s story.

As the office reels from the surprising outcome of Quinn’s (Katie Lowes) trial, Olivia (Kerry Washington) is called in by the wife (Lorraine Toussaint) of a missing preacher and prominent civil rights leader. It only takes the team a couple of hours to track him down, but when they find the reverend he’s dead in a cheap hotel room on top of his mistress (Elise Neal) who is trapped underneath his girth and chained to the bed. As you might expect, the image is not exactly how Olivia, the White House, or the man’s family would like him remembered.

Last season’s mid-season replacement returns for a Second Season with the trial of Lindsey Dwyer, who until now we’ve only known as Olivia Pope & Associates’ newest hire Quinn Perkins (Katie Lowes). Quinn, or rather Lindsey, is accused of seven counts of murder in the bombing her former boyfriend and six other victims. Although all the evidence against Quinn is circumstantial, her account of events, and the fact that she ran and assumed a new identity (which was mysteriously provided), has even some of her own coworkers doubting her innocence.

Scandal – The Complete First Season

scandal-season-one-dvdCreated by Shonda Rhimes, Scandal stars Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope, a former White House communications director turned professional fixer. Over the course of the season Oliva and her associates (Henry Ian Cusick, Darby Stanchfield, Columbus Short, Katie Lowes, Guillermo Díaz) will save the President’s Supreme Court nominee from a sex scandal (John Getz), defend a millionaire’s son (Michael Cassidy) accused of rape, try to save the wife of a South American dictator (José Zúñiga), and deal with a White House aide’s (Liza Weil) affair with the President of the United States (Tony Goldwyn).

The First Season also fills in Olivia’s past relationship with the President and the drama involving the mysterious disappearance of Amanda Tanner (Weil). Washington is terrific as the strong, decisive woman out for justice, and the show has several great supporting performances, my favorite being Joshua Malina as Olivia’s contentious frenemy US Attorney David Rosen.
