Mellie’s Leaving

You would think at this point Mellie would know that Fitz loves Olivia and tolerates her. Yet, when she realizes that Fitz has not left Olivia’s side during her stint in the hospital, she looses it. Granted, it is kind of crazy that the President of the United States, didn’t live in the White House for days on end. When he does return, Mellie tells him that she’s “leaving,” which means she’s going to live next door. She further threatens Fitz saying that if he doesn’t end his relationship with Olivia, she’ll run to the media about his extramarital affair and he won’t get reelected. During this little tirade, the only time Fitz  flinches is when she says she’s taking his son with her. Thing is, if Mellie runs to the media who knows if it would benefit her in the long run. She would be out of the White House, Cyrus might try to kill her and then Fitz would run right to Olivia anyway. Though, we’re sure Olivia wouldn’t appreciate Mellie being the one facilitating their legitimization of their relationship. Either way, it seems like an idle threat, leaving most of us wishing Mellie would have a sit down.
