Mrs. Smith Goes to Washington is the 3rd episode of the third season of Scandal. It premiered on October 17, 2013 in the U.S.
A woman named Mary Nesbitt retains Pope and Associates for a mysterious job. When Quinn discovers that the woman has drawn all her money from her bank account, Olivia goes to find her and discovers her at Congressman Jim Struthers' office holding him hostage with a bomb. Mary proceeds to inform Olivia that the reason she is holding them all hostage is to find out the details behind her son's murder at the hands of F.B.I. agents. Olivia is eventually able to ascertain from Fitz that Chris Lawrence, Mary's son, was a C.I.A. agent but because recruits of his are still working as spies the U.S. government is unable to release that information to the American public. Unable to reveal this information to Mary, Olivia informs her that her son was a terrorist causing Mary to commit suicide by detonating the bomb.
Meanwhile, a man named Peter Foster attempts to contact Fitz in the Oval Office but is stopped by the Secret Service. Upon discovering this, Cyrus contacts Rowan informing him that the two have a “Remington problem.”
Huck, still upset by the discovery that Rowan is Olivia's father, begins to stalk him in the hopes of killing him. Instead he follows him to Peter Foster's trailer where he finds Peter bound and gagged with weapons to make it look as if Peter committed suicide. Huck kills Peter and then returns to the office where he informs Olivia that he's still owned by Rowan. Olivia returns to her apartment and confronts a semi-recuperated Jake about how he managed to escape from B613 and her father.
