"Seven Fifty-Two" is the nineteenth episode of the second season of Scandal. It premiered on April 25, 2013 in the U.S.
In a flashback from 5 years ago, Olivia talks to a bearded and homeless Huck at the train station.
Olivia is lying in her hospital bed being watched over by Fitz, who tries to get close to her. They argue, and Olivia tells him she does not believe him when he tells her he loves her. Fitz walks out and discusses the attack with Jake.
Quinn, Abby, and Harrison are watching over a frightened Huck, who is constantly repeating the phrase “Seven Fifty-Two.”
14 years ago, Huck, in a military uniform, surprises a woman reading to children in a library. They are shown lying in bed at home, as he explains how he has been taking tests and was able to leave his tour early.
Huck is sitting in a nondescript room and is being offered a position to be a part of B-613 while Charlie watches over. The man offering the job explains how Huck is very gifted and they would like to use his skills and train him. Huck agrees to take the job.
Harrison is arguing with Hal and Tom trying to see Olivia in the hospital. Charlie is seen spying with a baseball cap and makes a call that Harrison spots. Harrison chases him, but Charlie escapes in an elevator. Harrison goes back to Pope and Associates to update Abby and Quinn.
Charlie is seen explaining to a worried looking Huck how the job is to torture and kill people in order to get information. Huck is shown on his first job, torturing, killing, and cleaning up the dead body. Afterwards he and Charlie discuss how they enjoy it.
Olivia is still in the hospital, talking on the phone to Harrison about Huck. Quinn is trying to comfort Huck and tells him she will help fight whatever is hurting him. Huck doesn’t budge or stop repeating “Seven Fifty-Two.”
The woman, Kim, tells Huck that she’s pregnant; they talk and Huck proposes. Huck is shown on the job once again, obviously finding joy in the torture, as he begins collecting watches from everyone he kills. He and Kim buy a house, get married and have a son.
Cyrus visits Fitz, who is still waiting in the hospital for Olivia, and is not happy that reporters are catching on to him. Jake joins them, and Fitz introduces the two.
Abby is trying to comfort Huck similarly to how Quinn was. She explains how she will always choose Olivia because she saved her from her abusive husband.
Huck comes home to Kim in the kitchen with their son and Charlie. Charlie explains to Huck how he needs to lose his family, as that was what he promised when he joined B-613. Later that night, Huck tries to get Kim to run away with him, and leaves to go get money from the bank. Huck is taken and thrown into a sealed hole.
