Joshua Malina: Great, great episode, but Ill just come out and say it.

There was a big ol Jake- shaped hole right in the middle of it.

Scott Foley: Oh, Josh.

Seems like that would be fun and not that taxing.

That was all kinds of yes.

There were a lot of primo #AwkwardElevator moments.

I particularly liked when Olivia shut the elevator door on Abby and said She can take the STAIRS.

Marcus is the Mellie Whisperer.

I was a little disappointed no one killed anyone else with furniture this episode.

I look pretty good in a T-shirt.

SF: If you focus on the arms and not the belly.

JM: Well, yes.

Now list some things you liked.

SF: I thought that this episode was fantastic.

Big props to the entire cast and to our lovely director/DP Oliver Bokelberg!

There were a bunch of great scenes:

The Fitz/Mellie scene on the tarmac terrific.

I knew you had it in you.

And never doubted Artemis.

But maybe only because it was really all about Jake.

And then David and Liz.

Talk about trying to repair a relationship.

I liked the scene when Mellie walks from her plane to Fitzs.

Bellamy did some very nice runway work there.

I loved working with Annie Potts.

Shes was a lot of fun.

SF: You said that already.

JM: Different T-shirt.

A lot of people getting mad at people.

These are my favorite kind of episodes.

Tony looks cute when he wears his President Fitzgerald Members Only windbreaker.

As you mentioned, Oliver Bokelberg directed this episode.

I believe I was the only person really eating during that dinner scene.

I did it because I was hungry and Im a glutton.

Altogether, I consumed about six and a half pounds of salmon.

I was sweating salmon by the end of the night.

SF: Youre sweaty all of the time.

JM: Youre not wrong.

I kind of minded at the time, when I was told.

JM: Youre insane.

I love getting paid to stay home.

SF: Well, I like to work.

But after watching last night, I think this may be one of my favorite episodes.

I really liked being somewhere new with the characters.

JM: So, youre saying that you like the show were on.

Thats a pretty bold stance youre taking.
