Scandal Season 5 Episode 10 Recap: Six Months Later...

What a difference six months can make.

We jumped way ahead on Scandal Season 5 Episode 10, learning that Olivia was back to her old ways.

She has dinner with her dad at one point. She had dessert with Jake (if you know what we mean!).

She and her team also helped the first female NSA director determine who hacked into her secret files, although she was stunned by what she found out: the culprit was Jake.

And by the time OPA got to the bottom of what he had done, Jake had been named the new director of the NSA.

Olivia went to confront Jake over his evil scheme, only to be met at his apartment by her father, who said “the world is a safer place” with Jake in charge.

We don’t necessarily disagree. But come on, Jake!

Did you need to kill an innocent man to achieve that position?

ELSEWHERE…

• Abby needed help from Cyrus to find her place in her marriage to Fitz (for real!) and in the White House, finally telling Fitz to stop treating her like a “companion animal” and more like a competent cohort who is the press secretary, remember.

• Mellie paid OPA a visit because she needed help with her book. Liv somehow found time to read the memoir and offer the following advice to her former enemy: “Write a real book. Tell the people who you are and what you’ve been through.”

So that’s where we are, Gladiators.

Which development depicted on the 2016 premiere did you find most shocking? Will you ever be able to look at Jake the same way again?

Grey"s Anatomy Season 12 Episode 9 Recap: ATTACKED!

That was quite a way to welcome viewers back, huh?

On Grey’s Anatomy Season 12 Episode 9, Meredith got attacked, Violently. Brutally. Within an inch of her life.

It was the latest example of Shonda Rhimes trying to shock viewers and the 27th time (unofficially) that Meredith has been on the verge of death.

But even if we know Shonda’s games, and even if we knew Meredith was not going to die, that doesn’t mean the episode (directed by Denzel Washington!) didn’t pack quite the punch.

It started with Meredith trying to get a patient back into bed… only for him to completely snap.

In the aftermath of the assault, we witnessed Meredith whimpering on the floor until Penny found her limp body and nearly all of Meredith’s friends at work gathered in one room to revive her.

She could not talk. She had a dislocated elbow. She suffered multiple blows to the head and and she needed a chest tube and Alex was a crying mess and, let’s be honest, so were we.

Due to the injury to her ears, Meredith couldn’t hear. For seven full minutes, Grey’s Anatomy did not air a single line of dialogue.

We watched as Meredith did all she could do: watch those around her

After weeks of being laid up like this, Alex arrived and lay down next to his friends.

He cried, and when Meredith could hear him cry, she started to cry, too. And laugh.

She still had to have her jaw wired shut and she could only hear through one hear and then she had a panic attack when her kids were too scared to hug her…

… but still. At least she was on the mend.

Webber then gave Meredith a speech about how she needs to forgive Amelia and also to forgive Derek for being dead.

Once she finally could speak again, she told Alex to go be with Jo. It was okay. He could have more than one “person.” She had “her own damn village” after all.

So that was the message we were left with heading into Grey’s Anatomy Season 12 Episode 10.

Was it manipulative? Classic Shonda Rhimes?

Absolutely.

But go watch Grey’s Anatomy online. It was also extremely well done.

Martin Shkreli Attempts to Purchase Sole Rights to New Kanye West Album, Remains Evil Douche

Former pharmaceutical exec and noted penis hole Martin Shkreli took his campaign to become the real-life incarnation of a Mr. Burns-like cartoonish supervillain to a new level moments ago, announcing on Twitter that he’d like to purchase the sole rights to Kanye West’s long-anticipated seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo.

Failing that, Shkreli says, he at least wants to prevent the record from being released on time. 

In an open letter to the rapper posted online moments ago, Shkreli wrote, “Instead of releasing this product for your millions of fans, I ask you to sell this recording solely to me, for the price of $ 10,000,000.

“I believe you (and your partners) will find this financial arrangement more attractive than your current course of action.”

Shkreli later tweeted, “Kanye and his label are legally required to take my offer letter to their Board of Directors …This should delay the album by a few days.”

You may remember that Shkreli purchased the only copy of the Wu Tang Clan’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin back in December.

The difference there was that the Wu had always planned on selling a single copy to a wealthy super-fan, in hopes that said aficionado would eventually make the disc available to the public.

Shkreli has yet to do so, and he’s since butted heads with Ghostface Killah and other Wu Tang members as a result.

With Kanye, of course, Shkreli is taking on the hip hop world’s most famous ego, and it seems unlikely that the former hedge fund manager actually expects Yeezy to make a deal.

That said, we’re sure Mr. West will handle this elaborate act of trollery in a rational, level-headed fashion. Just kidding, ‘Ye’s about to go off on this dweeb.

The women of the Kardashian-Jenner clan were all matchy-matchy and coordinated in their outfits.

4. Here’s Kylie’s outfit

She went for a high-glam meets thug meets just-got-attacked-by-an-animal look. (Possibly, hopefully the same animal Kim wore as a coat.)

5. Kourtney’s outfit was highly ornate, but looked really uncomfortable

Kourtney wore a beaded turtleneck – biker short jumpsuit thing. Only Kanye.

6. Kendall carried Kim’s daughter North as they made their way to their seats

By the looks of things, that animal surely did a number on Kendall’s outfit, too.
