Not a great way to start a potential presidency.
And Jake, it seems, has traded one Pope captor for another.
Cyrus goes to David Rosens office (didnt Fitz demand his resignation last week over the dropped sugar investigation?

Apparently he still has his job, so I digress) and asks if hed be Vargas VP.
Quinn and Huck find that former pal and tell him hes moving out of town under a new name.
No, he doesnt have a choice.
If not, Rowan tells Cyrus privately, hell tell Vargas who really organized that shooting in Harrisburg.
(Why were those just lying around?)
Which means Fitz now knows about Olivias abortion.
Ballards all in: Do whatever you have to do.
Just get me out.
(Does Mellie get no say in this?
They do sit together for a moment, and he says he misses them sitting and talking together.
Before she leaves, he tells her this: I support your choice, Liv.
Not that you need it.
Hes talking about her VP pick, sure, but obviously about the abortion, as well.
NEXT: Operation: Rescue Jake
From there, Liv has to collect Mellies new VP.
He puts the gun down, and they walk out of the house.
Dare to be normal!
But that kind of life isnotan Olivia Pope life.
He realizes she wasnt trying to save him so much as save Mellies campaign.
One Pope was running his life; now another is.
As he puts it, Ive gone from being his bitch to yours.
That, of course, leaves Vargas without a VP.
Cyrus knows just the guy and its not David Rosen.
It was never going to be David Rosen.
Its Cyrus himself standing on stage, his family and Frankies beside them.
And Papa Pope is watching from home, seeing everything unfold as he apparently knew it would.
