On the ongoing B613/Remington front, Jake wants to take on Rowan, but Liv wants to just go back to pretending she doesn't know what Rowan does, and that means she can't be with Jake at all. Fitz finds out that Pete Foster died (actually was killed by Huck) and arranges for Foster to have a military burial. Cyrus only finds out when James asks him for comment, so he goes to find Rowan and see what's up. Jake listens in (wouldn't Rowan see him? He's not that far away?) and then goes to Liv for help filling in the blanks. Liv tells him she's not interested, but Jake leaves the file anyway, which Huck steals. The two of them decide to work together after all, so they approach Liv and fill her in on Pete Foster's connection to Operation Remington. Liv is freaked out, and Jake comforts her with a makeout sesh, which is interrupted by a phone call from Fitz. Who hears Jake in the background and hangs up. Turns out Fitz was on his way to a "reunion"… with Rowan.
The client of the week is a Republican Senator on trial for sexting a young woman and then killing her. The Senator claims he didn't kill the woman and his wife is his alibi for the night of the murder. He also claims he was only sexting the one (now dead) woman, but when the trial starts (with David Rosen as the prosecutor), there are multiple women there to testify that he sexted them. To make matters worse, the Senator can't stop sexting young ladies, even the night before his wife is supposed to testify. The wife then disappears, but Liv and the team track her down and get her to serve as her husband's alibi. The Senator is found not guilty. Liv figures out that the Senator's wife is the guilty party and got away with it, which was super obvious and I'm disappointed in this show for that ending.
Abby and David are dating again, but Abby is being noncommittal. So David tells her if she can't decide if she's in or out, then he's out. But then Abby sexts him and she's back in.
At a photo op, Mellie makes a disparaging comment about a potential Democratic Presidential candidate (played by Lisa Kudrow, so you know this is will be an ongoing storyline) not knowing that there's a live mic nearby. Cyrus keeps haranguing her, even after Mellie issues a public apology, until Fitz of all people tells Cyrus to cut it out. Cyrus sends young Ethan to dig up dirt on Candidate Phoebe Buffay, and he finds out that she gave up a baby as a teen.
Is Harrison even on this show anymore?
