 3. James Is [Still] Cruising For A Bruising 
tumblr_mmkg8zZPx51rwlmvzo1_500
OK, if this was “House Of Cards,” James would’ve been offed after he uncovered the secret behind the “Defiance” and the stacked votes, and he would’ve at least mysteriously disappeared after he revealing he had tapes of Sally’s confession to Cyrus from the night she murdered her husband. But in Shonda’s Washington, DC, James gets to talk all the dirt he knows with lawyer David Rosen and reporters, all while keeping his fancy White House job.
James was pretty smug when he said  Cyrus “thinks he doesn’t have a weakness, but he does: me” and then vows to “do whatever it takes to take that monster down” but even if it is taking Cyrus a while to make this problem dissappear we’ve seen what he’s done to eliminate the issues.  And Rosen forecasts the possiblities:  ”If these guys figure out who that reporter’s source is they’re as good as dead.”

James, responds with a dramatic stare as if this is all news to him. Yes dude, like everyone else, you’re asking for it.
4. Someone’s Got Harrison Shook (But Not That Shook)

One time for Harrison getting some action this episode! No seriously.  Out of all the Gladiators, staff in the White House and other random characters on this show, this man seriously gets shafted when it comes to the romance (or even hooking up) department.
He also got a bit more of a backstory and we learn that someone’s got him scared enough for his life to “borrow” Abby’s gun without telling her.  Turns out, Adnan Salif, the person who’s got Harrison shook is a woman, and she might want to have him dead, but first she wants to get into his pants.  It would just make too much sense for Harrison to get away from the woman who has made him fear for his life all episode, so he decides to give in to her seduction.   Sex is the Achilles heel of nearly every character on this show, so we can’t say we’re surprised that Harrison would forget everything up to this point, for the nookie.
5. Everyone Keeps Testing Papa Pope

For a group of people who spent an entire season talking about how dangerous Rowan Pope is, everyone continues to be test this man’s patience.
Rowan is looking like a ticking time bomb right about now after surviving Fitz’s tourture that included having to hear intimate details about his daughter. Now that he’s been outst as the leader of B613 in favor of Jake, and his ex-wife-the-terrorist is now at large he’s also a loose cannon who’s liable to do anything to restore order back to the career he remind’s Liv he’s worked his life for.
In another epic speech Olivia’s dad breaks it down (so it can forever be broke) that 1) Fitz is going down and 2) Oliva better scatter unless she wants to be caught up in the rapture:
“This, my dear, sweet, child is what happened,” Rowan says. “The married man you can’t stay away from had me abducted, locked me up in chains and spoke to me about how you taste while he allowed the terrorist that snuck her way into my marriage bed to clear US air space. The man you screw betrayed me by freeing the woman who gave birth to you as a bargaining chip. The man who defiled you also defiled an organization I gave my soul to build…that is what happened.”
(You can tell the speech hurts because Kerry inserts several of those scrunched face, lip quivering expressions all up in the middle of it.)
As far as Rowan is concerned: The President has made the worst kind of enemy. “The greetest weapon I can use against him calls me ‘dad.’”  ”The President should be very afraid and if I were you I’d be terrified,” he tells her before advising her to “run as far as possible from the burning building called the White House.”
Welp…. 
BONUS:
Olivia Wants Quinn Back 
Quinn has already proved to be a non-factor so we’re not even going to dignify her with a number.  Jake made it clear she’ll never be a part of B613 and Huck made it pretty clear how he felt about his former protégé standing in the Gladiator family when he yanked all her teeth out one by one.
You’d think Olivia would have caught on to how much of a liability this girl is and be ready to cut her lose, but no. Olivia goes asking Jake about Quinn. This probably won’t be a good move for Liv right now, and since Quinn has been playing all sides, it’s worth noting that this likely won’t end well for her either.  We can’t even say we’d be mad to see her go at this point. Bye, Quinn.
The moral of all these story lines? THIS WONT END WELL!
What did you think of the premiere? What do you think is going to happen next since these characters can’t seem to leave well enough alone?!
