Mm.

When I took this job,

I had no idea how many holiday
parties were involved.

This is my last one

Well, cheers to that.
[ glasses clink ]

You see that?
What?

It looks like olivia pope,
it sounds like olivia pope,

But that over there

Making chitchat like
a trophy wife is weird.

All I see
is a happy holiday.

Our charm offensive's
working.

Poll numbers are up,

And america's starting
to fall for olivia pope.

All I'm saying is,
don't get used to it.

I just feel like I can really
talk to you, you know?

I get that a lot.
[ chuckles ]

Actually,
I could use your help.

I have a problem.

You do?

Though maybe you're not
the right person to ask.

Try me.

Well...I've been searching
forever, and...

There was a cookie I had
once at a dinner

With the president.

A-a cookie?

It was just to die --
I mean really to die.

It was, oh, kind of cinnamon-y
but not spicy.

I can't do spicy.
Of course not. [ scoffs ]

And it had sugar on top

And maybe just a little swirl
of caramel.

I asked the chef,
but I forget what he called it.

[ chuckles ]
it had a cute little name.

Do you think you could
get me that recipe?

I would love to.

[ both laugh ]

[ laughter ]

Senator gibson,
gentlemen.

Gibson: Mellie.

Hope those special-interest
gifts are all under $50.

I bought those
for my grandkids.

Catching a flight home
just as soon as we, uh,

Vote through
that spending bill.

Which is the reason
for my visit.

[ sighs ]
I found a mistake.

Seems funding
for planned parenthood

Has been put under
the discretionary column.

Planned parenthood
will still be fully funded.

True.

But if it's moved
to discretionary,

Then that money could be taken
away at any time,

In future spending bills --

It's funded.

Nothing in this bill
says otherwise.

But there's no guarantee,
and if there's no guarantee,

Well, then
I can't vote for it.

That bill will pass just fine
without you, mellie.

I'm sure
there are others...

When they find out,
they'll agree with me.

I have never brought a bill
to the senate floor

Without knowing how many votes
I need to pass it,

And this one
is no exception.

That's what makes me
so good at my job.

And you know what's gonna make
you good at your job?

Voting yes on this thing.

Then we're all
gonna go home.

Have ourselves
a merry little christmas.

[ laughter ]

[ chuckles ]

[ camera shutter clicking ]

So this holiday dinner
for the cabinet,

The social secretary wanted some
help with the place settings.

Mitchell.
His name is mitchell.

I know the schedule.
You don't need to tell me.

I have a brain.

Look, I know you hate this
stuff, but it's working.

Our favorables are rising,
the country is accepting us,

My funding bill
is gonna pass --

[ quietly ]
crappy bill.

What?

Nothing.

Huck, it's me -- again.

I don't know if you're sick

Or you're doing
your weird huck thing

Where you disappear
for a while

And come back like
nothing happened,

But either way,
call me back.

What is this?

It's christmas.
Christmas?

You don't have
to thank me.

Oh, I wasn't going
to thank you.

I was gonna tell you
to take this crap

Out of here
before liv sees it.

Liv hates christmas?

Everybody over the age of 10
hates christmas.

But everybody loves
a good holiday party.

What'd you guys do
last year?

Same as every year --

We passed around
a bottle of vodka

On the steps
of the lincoln memorial

And went to work, because
that's what gladiators do.

We don't...Decorate.
We work.

Bah humbug.

[ camera shutter clicking ]

Wait.
Before you go...

What is this?

Happy holidays.

Sorry I didn't get a chance
to wrap it,

But that was hard to do
with your hands down my pants.

Keep it.
Come on.

[ camera shutter clicks ]

[ scoffs ]

Look, I get it --
you're embarrassed

Because you didn't
get me anything.

No.
No, you're not embarrassed,

Or, no, you didn't
get me anything?

I don't want
your bracelet, david.

I just thought,
since we're doing this...

"this"?

...That I'd get you
something special,

Because you are
someone special.

'tis the season and all.

If that isn't the saddest,
lamest...

David...

There's no need
for presents.

Hope you kept
the receipt.

[ camera shutter clicking ]

Senator gibson:
$1.1 trillion.

Every penny stretched to within
an inch of its life.

Wasn't easy, tell you that,
but we got it done.

So, without further ado,

'cause I know you all want to
get home to your families,

I humbly suggest we put
this kitten to a vote.

Mr. President?

Thank you, senator.

Is there anyone else who would
like to be recognized?

No?
In that case --

I'd like to be recognized.

The chair recognizes the junior
senator from virginia.

What the hell is this?

[ senators murmuring ]

So, here's the thing.

This bill keeps the lights on,
and I'm all for that,

Just not when it means
hurting people in the process.

Mrs. Grant --
I have the floor.

You say we're not defunding
planned parenthood,

And technically you're right.

But by making that money
discretionary,

You give the people in this room
the power to say,

"you know what? We're a little
over budget this year.

How about we don't give that
little ladies' organization

The full amount
they're asking for?"

So you don't.

And then, next year,
you give them even less,

And even less
the year after that,

And you keep chipping away
at their budget

Until, before you know it,

Planned parenthood
no longer exists.

[ exhales sharply ]

So, as much as I would like
to get home for the holidays,

I refuse to do it at the expense
of women's health.

So...

Oh, no.

...Before we vote,

I'd like to tell you about

The thousands of
federal projects

That aren't discretionary...

I don't believe this.
She's filibustering.

...Like $5 million
we're spending

On senate
hair-care services...

Silence!

...Or...
Senator grant has the floor.

...The half a million dollars
it costs

To paint an alaskan salmon
on senator campbell's 737.

Not discretionary --

...Before we vote,
I'd like to tell you

About the thousands
of federal projects

That aren't discretionary...

This the scene just hours ago
when mellie grant,

The junior senator of virginia
and former first lady,

Began her filibuster of
a congressional spending bill,

A bill which, if it doesn't
pass by midnight,

Could lead to a very untimely
government shutdown.

It's never gonna
get that far.

How can you be so sure?

Because in order
to kill the bill,

She has to stand up there
for 16 hours.

That's 16 hours
where she's not allowed

To lean on anything
for support,

16 hours where she won't be able
to eat or pee.

Yes, people have
done it before,

But those people
trained for it.

They put on diapers,
wear comfortable shoes...

What do you think?

There's no talking about mellie
without talking about you.

If she looks desperate,
it's because you abandoned her.

If she looks unstable,
it's because you kept her down

All those years --
their words, not mine.

I say we stay
far, far away.

Watch her hang herself
by her own rope.

I say we bring olivia in
to manage the message

Outside the white house.

Have her work some of
her media contacts.

Olivia's busy.

Can we make her un-busy?

No.

Okay.

38 million women
living in this country

Are in need
of contraceptive care.

20 million of those women

To provide them birth control

Because they are under

Or are living below
the poverty line or both.

But we're gonna have to say,
"sorry. We can't help you."

And when they ask us why,
we can tell them.

It's because we have

A slut who repeatedly spread

I don't agree with them,

If they were saying those things
about my child.

It would hurt.

Especially if they were the only
thing I had left in my life.

But she's not
yours anymore.

She's his.

She chose him --

Do you think
that she loves him,

Or she just hates you
so much

That it's worth being unhappy
with him just to spite you?

Hmm?

Or, uh...
Do you prefer jake?

Which white boy
do you approve of

Being inside

You took my family
from me.

But javi's fine.
He's a good kid.

He'll be a good man.

And by staying away,
I've been a good father.

But your daughter?

You failed.

The sad part is
that you know it,

And you're not doing anything

You mean when
you moved me in here

And treated me like I was
some kind of hostage?

Is that honestly
what you think?

That all this is some kind of
sick, twisted punishment?

Yes, I do.

"punishment"?
What are you --
for my father.

This has nothing
to do with --

It has everything to do
with him.

I get my father released,
I try to help you,

I try to save you --

Oh, let's not pretend you did
that for me, olivia.

That was for you.

You did that so you wouldn't
have to marry me.

[ chuckles ]

What was worse
for you, fitz?

When I let my father go,

Or when I asked you
not to kill him?

Do I owe you now, fitz?

Do I get to show
how worthy I am

Of your sacrifices now,
fitz?

Do I get to talk to wives
at cocktail parties for you?

Trade recipes for you?
Plan dinners for you?

Live in this cage for you,
and not breathe for you?!

Tell me,
what must I do to prove

I am forever indebted to you
for saving my father's life?!

Olivia --
be your housewife?

Your girlfriend?
Your property?!

You stand there,

And you think

About what I have
been doing --

And about everything
I have ever told you --

And you tell me
who wouldn't run.

Try to understand
what I am telling you.

Moving you in here,

Asking you
to go all-in on us --

Oh, who is really lying
to who here, fitz?

You asked me?

When did you ask me?
When I tried to propose.

When we were out
on the truman,

When you
flat-out refused --

That wasn't a proposal.

That was manipulation.

You want to talk
about manipulation?

You think I don't know

What you've been doing
this entire time?

What are you
talking about?
I'm talking about you...

Strutting around here,

Wielding your
undue influence

In your power capes
like you run the damn place.

So you're bitter.
Is that it?

After realizing how ineffectual
you actually are --

You know,
you're worse than her.

You're worse than mellie.

At least with mellie,

I knew what she was
the entire time.

Unlike you.

I mean, I knew where
you came from, but --

Where I came from?

We both know
who your father is.

I came from a palace compared
to the man that raised you.

At least my father
loved me.

You want to know
who wouldn't run?

Someone capable of being
in a relationship.

Someone capable
of being normal.

If you were someone
capable of being alone,

Someone capable of
not suffocating me --

I wasn't suffocating!
I was trying to show you --

You were trying
to save me!

I was trying to save us!

There is no us!

There is no this!

There is no vermont!
There is no jam!

There is no future!

[ crying ]
not anymore.

You just needed time...

...To get used to the way
things work around here,

The way things work with us
in here, to be here.

You needed time.

We didn't get any time.

I told you, if it got out,
if they knew...

We needed time before.

We never had a chance.

I told you.

Before.

If we're already broken
going in, then --

I was unavailable before.

You liked me unavailable.

[ sighs ]

I don't know you
available.

She got this side of you.

She did this part.

I didn't have to.

I didn't have
to be everything.

You could've had
something...

Been something.

Mellie --
that's what she said.

[ sniffles ]

[ sighs ]

Ugh.

I hate that
you're always right.

Me too.
