Is no one else watching this show? Another solid episode this week. Nice to see Olivia change course on the wife. The new girl is in trouble with her reporter friend and it doesn't look like we'll find out what the pregnant mistress was hiding.

I watch it although I haven't watched this episode yet. Enjoyed the last two episodes (the pilot was good but not great).

Kerry Washington's lips are the heart of the show, IMO.

So let me guess this straight....a Republican president (albeit a moderate anti-Tea Party one) has a gay man (married no less) as his Chief of Staff. I guess I'll have to suspend disbelief on that.

Anyhow, that first lady ain't up to no good.

I'm really liking this show. This is a midseason replacement and they didn't start in sweeps - does it have any chance at renewal? I know ABC has Shonda's other shows and have served them well, which is one reason why I bought into this.

Looks like everyone (except maybe Henry Ian Cusick - what is he waiting for...nervous?) has gotten to do their dramatic 'actory' monologue on the show now with Abby getting her say.

I wasn't enamored with the case this week, but at least it provided some character development for Abby (who really needs to do something with the hair).

Loved the scene with Cyrus' (who looks to be with a guy about 25 years his junior) psychic vision of the President's life. Favorite scene of the episode.

So I'm guessing they just drugged the girl or did they pull a Michael Clayton and kill her?
