‘Scandal’ Season 2 Episode 14's Clever Way To Say 'WTF'

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Being a little slow in my head, I initially didn’t realize that tonight’s season 2 episode of Scandal, which is called, “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot,” is based on the phonetic alphabet. Only after the first spoilers story was written on our site, based on tonight’s Scandal episode, did I realize that the producers of the show use the same language that some of my pilot friends use to say ‘WTF.’ Everyone in America should know what ‘WTF’ means by now, but if you don’t, it’s an acronym for ‘What The F*&K.’ Clever right? Well, we’ll see tonight who’s going to want to yell that saying out. I bet it’s Olivia, especially after what happened to her last week.

Ok, I wont bore you with my findings, I’m certainly not Einstein, but i wanted to let everyone know what “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” mean. Tonight’s episode summary below:

“After discovering the truth behind Defiance, Fitz is still struggling to figure out who he can actually trust. Meanwhile Olivia is trying to move on with her life, and she meets a handsome stranger, Jake Weston (Scott Foley), who sparks her interest. But when Fitz and Olivia are forced to be in the same room again, real sparks fly and things get heated. Back at Pope & Associates, the team handles a new case, and for the first time they’re working with David Rosen instead of against him.”

Scandal airs Thursday’s at 10pm on ABC.  For a better reference, phonetic alphabet chart below:

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
