It\u2019s Scandal\u2019s<\/em> season finale and everyone is toasting the Presidential hopefuls. Of course, there are plenty of shockers in the episode that make it no surprise that the cast is drinking away\u00a0their feelings. Check out this week\u2019s recap of That\u2019s My Girl<\/em> complete with a guide to the cast\u2019s fave cocktails.<\/p>\n

\"Old<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>
\nFitz – Old Fashioned<\/strong>
\nThe current president is feeling the pressure because he\u2019s introducing Mellie and her vice president\u00a0at the convention. He agrees to be accommodating, but he\u2019s still focused on his favorite person — himself. It takes an argument with Mellie and accidentally finding out about Olivia\u2019s abortion to make Fitz realize he wasn\u2019t the man either of them deserved. Fitz tells Olivia he supports her choice in reference to Mellie\u2019s vice presidential\u00a0pick, but we all know what he really meant. Looks like old-fashioned values, including\u00a0being a gentleman, aren\u2019t going out of style.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Sangria\"<\/a>
\nOlivia – Red Sangria<\/strong>
\nAlthough wine is her signature drink, Olivia is going for something different this week. She\u2019s standing up to her father, freeing Jake from Rowan\u2019s grasp, and saving Cyrus from being blackmailed. Olivia\u2019s meeting with Fitz goes better than expected and has the couple reminiscing about sweeter days. Just when she thinks everything is going smoothly, Cyrus\u2019 choice\u00a0for vice president\u00a0puts a dent in her plans. It\u2019s Olivia vs.\u00a0Cyrus, but we know that Olivia is up for the challenge.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Tom<\/a><\/strong>
\nTom – Tom Collins<\/strong>
\nThough his relationship with Cyrus is still going strong, they discuss how to deal with Michael leaving and taking Cyrus\u2019 daughter. Tom sweetly offers to get rid of Michael for good. Cyrus turns down that offer and says their relationship is the best he’s ever had, but dumps Tom at the end of the episode. Let\u2019s just hope that drinking is the only part of Tom\u2019s post-breakup plans.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Diplomat\"<\/a> Cyrus – The Diplomat<\/strong>
\nThe Presidential campaign has proven that the student has overcome the master, but is that really the case? Cyrus\u2019 plans to get exactly what he wants involves manipulating Olivia into making Jake vice president\u00a0so that Vargas is left without a pick. However, Cyrus nominates himself, which means he puts a lock on the vice presidency and gets his daughter and ex-husband back all in one fell swoop. That\u2019s his version of the perfect diplomat.<\/p>\n

Jake – Sidecar<\/strong>
\nPoor Jake never seems to be in the driver\u2019s seat anymore. Although Rowan tries to blackmail Cyrus into putting Jake on the ticket, Olivia comes to Jake\u2019s rescue. Olivia demands that Rowan release Jake because Jake is becoming Mellie\u2019s vice president\u00a0candidate. Rowan puts a gun to Jake\u2019s head, but Olivia calls the bluff and leaves with Jake. Though Jake is happy to be free from Rowan, it seems he\u2019s only a part of Olivia\u2019s plan to take the White House, not the declaration of love he wanted.<\/p>\n

Rowan – Champagne Cocktail<\/strong>
\nThe plan to have Jake be vice president\u00a0for Edison and then for Vargas totally failed. Pappa Pope\u2019s hold on Jake is finally broken with Olivia\u2019s help. Jake is now on Olivia\u2019s team. However, as Rowan watches Mellie\u2019s convention on TV, he seems delighted and is raising\u00a0a glass in celebration. His daughter has gone and got herself some real power. That\u2019s his girl.<\/p>\n

See you next season gladiators!<\/p>\n
