Top 10 Shocking Moments Caught on Live TV
Kicking off our list is this tense but undeniably sexy moment between Olivia and Fitz. Talented as Olivia may be, she has a way of talking a bit too much at times, but Fitz knows how to ease her anxiety. No, there’s no shower sex in this moment or even a well-placed pop song, but it sets off the central narrative, as Cyrus learns of Olivia’s firm hold on the Prez. These two just can’t contain themselves - even in the White House - and their lust ultimately becomes the primary source for happiness, pain and certainly plenty of scandal.
#9: Quality Time with Fitz AND Jake “An Innocent Man”
In the opening minutes of the episode, a dreaming Olivia is taking a calming dip when she loses herself in a steamy and psychosexual moment.

In this erotic scenario, both men explore Olivia’s body, complete with some heavy eye contact and sweet caresses. It’s a temporary moment of relief for Olivia, yet her buzzkill father shows up to bring Olivia back to reality.
