Scandal, Ep. 3.14, “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” humanizes self-described “monster” Cyrus Beene
Olivia Pope is back.
Since the beginning of season 3, Olivia Pope’s been on a downward spiral. She’s been losing her edge thanks to her parents, her tumultuous relationship with Fitz, and her discovery of B613’s existence. She’s only been a shadow of her former confident and commanding self, and it’s been both disheartening and fascinating to watch our heroine be so thoroughly humanized.
