9 When Fitz Declared War On Scandal Audiences were split when Fitz went to war in Scandal to try and save his mistress. In the episode "Where is the Black Lady?" Fitz declares war with West Angola to try and save a captured Olivia. It felt like a storyline that went a stop too far for this will they/won't they couple.
