[Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers from the upcoming episode of “Scandal” Season 4, read at your own risk.]
“It’s Good to Be Kink” is the title of episode 16 of “Scandal” Season 4. “Girls” star Lena Dunham is guest starring in this episode as the "very bad girl" Sue who has written a tell-all book on her sexual escapades with Washington’s big shots. This memoir has the potential to bring down Washington and according to the preview, “everyone is in fifty shades of scandal.”
“Olivia springs into action when she hears of a woman intending to expose sex secrets of some of DC’s most elite,” according to synopsis of “It’s Good to Be Kink.” In the preview clip, Abby, who looks worried, can be seen asking Olivia to stop the book and that she should shut it down. According to the sneak peeks, Sue had consensual sex with some of the Washington’s powerful men, senators, ambassadors, lobbyists, and her book has the potential to ruin their careers and families.
The first sneak peek of “Scandal” Season 4 episode 16 shows Olivia at Sue’s place. Sue thinks that Olivia is there because she wants to be her publicist. But the woman from Olivia Pope and Associates (OPA) quickly kills that misunderstanding, with her questions. She wants to know from Sue if the men in her book violated her, forced her, embarrassed her publically or made her do something unwanted. The answer is no to all that, which makes Olivia ask Sue, “then what gives you the right to publically violate them, embarrass them, humiliate them.” Sue is seen saying that she is not doing that, as she has used code names in the book.
Olivia can be seen telling Sue that the press will decode those “cute little names” within hours and they will have great time exposing those men. She wants to know if Sue is the kind of person who would destroy the lives of men with whom she had consensual sex for her selfish gains, just to become rich and famous. Sue looks confused and cornered.
In the sneak peek, Olivia is also seen telling Sue that the book is a problem and she needs to call her publisher and tell them that she made a mistake. She orders her to withdraw the book. Olivia leaves Sue’s apartment after delivering a warning shot, if she does not make the book disappear from the planet, she will become the problem and she will destroy her and her career.
In the second sneak peek, Sue does the talking and makes Olivia shut up. She is at Olivia's office. It looks like Sue is demanding millions of dollars to kill her book. Olivia suggests that she will be called a whore for demanding money and no one is going to pay her. This makes Sue hit back. She asks Olivia, “when did you become so weak.” Sue reminds Olivia who she is and describes to her how the rest of the women look at her. She can be seen telling Olivia that she is disappointed with her behaviour. Sue does not buy Olivia’s argument that she is protecting her. She was expecting Olivia to be brave, venturous, fearless, confident but she has found her to be “dried-up prude.”
“... when did you become so afraid of life. I’m not. This is my life. This is my body, my story to sell or tell. Anyway, this is all I’ve got now.” ... everyone who writes a memoir is a whore. You can also call me an author, an artist, a businesswoman. You can call me smart and pretty soon you can call be successful,” Sue is seen telling Olivia at the end of the clip. She may or may not be successful but it looks like she has succeeded in shutting up Olivia, not many are capable of doing that.
