Just consider this another one of Scandal‘s countless casualties: TVLine has an exclusive deleted scene from Scandal: The Complete Sixth and Seventh Seasons (available Aug. 28 on DVD) which finds Olivia Pope and Jake Ballard locked in a nasty war of words. So, you know, another weekday.
Cut from the Season 6 premiere, this deleted scene begins innocently enough, with Olivia asking Jake to help her prove that Cyrus murdered Frankie Vargas. Heck, they even manage to find common ground on Cyrus being a “disgusting vile sub-human demon.” But the conversation quickly goes south, as all Olivia/Jake interactions inevitably do, when she begins to suspect that he knows more than he’s letting on.
That’s when she just comes out and says it: “You’re in on this,” the first of many conspiracies hatched throughout this season-long story arc. Jake attempts to brush off her accusations and get back to work, but as we all know, Olivia Pope always gets the last word: “I am going to get to the bottom of this,” she shouts, “and I will bury you if I have to!” (And after watching Olivia beat Andrew Nichols to death with a metal chair, who are any of us to doubt that Liv would bury a man alive?)

Could not care less. Where is that Olivia and Fitz deleted content that Shonda cut out?!?
We are counting on your TVline. I’ll send some Smurf!
This is the deleted scene that is being released to sell the dvd? Yikes…
iT just became too much
This show was garbage and it deserves to be forgotten yesterday.
Oh TVLine… No, she didn’t threaten to bury him alive. She said she’ll “bury him if [she has] to,” meaning she’ll take him down (with Cyrus) if necessary.
