In the Scandal episode “Vampires and Bloodsuckers,” the Gladiators celebrate Quinn (Katie Lowes) and Charlie’s (George Newbern) big day, until Quinn goes missing. Meanwhile at the White House, President Mellie Grant (Bellamy Young) and Chief of Staff Cyrus Beene (Jeff Perry) deal with the aftermath of President Rashad’s assassination. Cyrus will have another exchange with Fenton Glackland, the billionaire who said maybe he’d run for president. (Like it was no big deal.) Cyrus didn’t react well when Fenton threw his half-baked idea to run for president out there — but some speculate there’s a romantic spark between the two powerful men in D.C.
