At least two have overlapped with TGIT this election cycle (sorry, politics recapping comes first!

Were not our husbands keepers but maybe we should be Americas, she says.

The crowd gives her a standing ovation, and headlines the next day declare her the debate winner.

Huck, meanwhile, is the only person to raise the point that this would destroy Caseys life.

Quinn and Liv arent fazed.

Not surprisingly, Davis is pissed and knows Olivia was involved.

(Naturally, this was his and Toms handiwork.)

Like, threatening to plant contraband in his cell, you have no idea what Im capable of-level mad.

She bullies him into doing it, and yes, hes the father.

(F: You think I wanted to win that way?!

; O: You think anyone did?)

He makes a similar case to Susan when he tells her about Olivias plan.

And I hope who you want to be is better than me.

Across the country in L.A., Mellie is preparing for aJimmy Kimmel Live!appearance.

Gotta love that ABC synergy.

Its a chance to show the American people another side of her, he argues.

So she goes for it, and the audience loves it.

Think theyll both stick to it?

My vote: a very diplomatic (dare I say political?)
