What It's Like Discussing "Scandal" On Friday Mornings With Your Co-Workers

As told by the characters of Scandal. And if you didn't watch last night, go get in the hole.

You can't believe what you watched last night.

So, you rush to get to work on time because you've already waited 12 hours to discuss.

When a co-worker tries to talk to you about something non-Scandal, you just can't deal.

Finally, everyone is here. Let's talk about this crazy shit.

At first, you're all just really confused.

And you don't know where to start.

Woah Mellie. Also, Liv's mom! And what is up with Quinn?

So you start with the (somewhat) basic questions: Who's good? Who's bad?

Who's dead? Who's alive?

You start to piece together everything that happened in those 40+ minutes.

Summary: A LOT.

All those things you thought were true last week? NOPE!

As you start talking, you relive the emotions all over again.

Suddenly, everyone needs to sit down because it's all a tad overwhelming.

Grab a chair.

You feel like you can't breathe.

You're too shocked to think coherently.

You need hugs.

Tears of anger, sadness, frustration, and sheer confusion overcome you.

Sometimes, you're all on the same page; but other times, you have intense opinions about what Shonda Rhimes is doing.

You really understand why Olivia drinks so much.

(Also, at some point, you talk about Olivia's outfits.)

You start to guess what will come next week.

And by the end, you feel like you've overcome so much that you could sign up for B613.

You emerge from the room, emotionally spent.

Bravo, Shonda. Bravo.

Until next week.
