Scandal 4/10

[speckledfrog]

I am sick of seeing Huck and Quinn sucking face.  Blech.

Oh Cyrus, you sly devil.

How do you think the paternity results came back?  I'm torn, but I think it will be Fitz and cause Mellie to warm to him again.

I think because Abby had to pay off the dna test guy, that Little Jerry is definitely Big Jerry's kid and not Fitz's.

Huck and Quinn are gross.

I'm still team Jake.

I also feel bad for Olivia - her family is so messed up.

But Abby was paying for the forged report - that had nothing to do with the real one. That was the report that was made using the bomb maker's hair.

Oh! I guess I wasn't paying enough attention, I thought Abby went to intercept the dna report that Sally's campaign guy had turned in and the dna staff guy was like its not his kid (meaning fitz) but she said yes it is and handed him the money. And then Olivia gave Mellie the real report later. But maybe I totally missed something.

No that was a faked report to throw Sally off the trail. The report at the end that she gave Mellie was the real one she told her she'd do if she really wanted to know.

I had a hard time believing that Quinn's B613 boyfriend wouldn't have been waiting for her in the parking garage.

Yeah that too. 

And that they wouldn't have thought about the funeral as an also likely target.

This is probably a dumb question but I am so confused - is Olivia's dad's name Rowan or Eli?
Or am I just stupid?

According to the Scandal Wiki, his name is Rowan Pope, but he also goes by Elijah Pope, which is then shortened to Eli. 

I wonder if the two different names were something to do with the secrecy of being Command. Like Elijah is his "Smithsonian Curator" name and "Rowan" is his legal name?

Thanks - I have really been confused as to why there are two names for him. That is helpful.

The DNA report thing was confusing to me. Why did they need Dominic's hair? I think the fact that we see Mellie get the report but not her reaction means that we don't know the answer to the DNA test.

We did see her reaction in the preview (a gasp and then clutching it tightly), we'll see it in the next episode.

Dominic's hair was for the test Leo ran. Olivia ran a test of her own, likely under pseudonyms.
