They played with fire and now they're getting burned! Fitz and Olivia's secret is out and now there's a serious need for some damage control.
On Scandal Season 5 Episode 2, Olivia takes a case which pulls her away from the White House. But that doesn't mean it pulls her back into her own office as this week's picture preview shows. Jake, however, is present and accounted for at OPA, but the reason for that is unclear.
Maybe he's just there to help Huck. Or maybe he's there to ride to Olivia's rescue once again, even though it means helping her be with another man. Fitz, meanwhile, is on a fact-finding mission. Someone in his trusted circle leaked those photos and he intends to find out who.
Check out the photos from "Yes," directed by Tony Goldwyn, and watch Scandal online so you're all caught up before next week.

Olivia is Worried - Scandal Season 5 Episode 2
Olivia takes a case which takes her away from Fitz and the White House just as the story of their affair breaks in the media. Fitz will no doubt take this as a sign of rejection while Olivia will see it as an act of self-preservation.
[to Fitz] You placed Olivia in a dangerous position. You outed her. You thought by throwing me out of the White House and moving her in you'd be making this grand gesture. Finally she wouldn't be just a mistress anymore. But the minute she stepped foot through these doors, the minute she moved in here, she became what we all become when we live here and what is that? Yes, a statue. Inhuman. Discussed from every angle, viewed, exposed. She's not just a mistress now. She's America's mistress.
