"Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" is the fourteenth episode of the second season of American television series Scandal. It premiered on February 14, 2013 on ABC. The episode marks the beginning of the 9 episode arc of the second half of Scandal which operated independently from the first half of the season.
The episode marks the first appearance of Scott Foley as Jake Ballard who would later go on to be a series regular.
The episode begins ten months after the events of Nobody Likes Babies. Olivia flashes back to intimate moments she spent with Fitz while swimming in a pool. Meanwhile, Fitz drinks in the middle of his morning shower and is joined by Mellie. Cyrus interrupts them to inform Fitz that four American soldiers have been taken hostage in Kashfar.
Across town David Rosen wakes up beside the body of a slain woman. When the police knock of his door claiming that they are there to investigate a disturbance he brushes them off.
Olivia waits in line for her morning coffee and has her cellphone knocked out of her hand by a man (Scott Foley) who proceeds to flirt with her. She then receives a call from Abby and she joins her and the rest of their team at David’s apartment where they gather that he was framed for the murder of Wendy Westerberg. Olivia offers to move Wendy's body out of David’s apartment and back to her own house to deflect suspicion from David. As the gladiators try to investigate who would have framed David they discover that he now works as a high school teacher.
Fitz meets with the ambassador to Kashfar. Cyrus is confused as to why he has been shut out of the meeting but when he asks Fitz what is wrong Fitz denies that there is a problem.
Huck manages to hack into Wendy’s files where he discovered photos of multiple nude men. The gladiators discover that Wendy blackmailed powerful men for stories which she sold to tabloids. They realize that she tried to seduce David in order to find out the truth about the voter fraud in Defiance. David grows suspicious that he was set up for the murder by Olivia and she in turn takes her suspicions to Cyrus. Cyrus denies involvement in David’s set up. Meanwhile, David is taken in for questioning on suspicion of Wendy’s murder though he quickly manages to deflect suspicion based on the ridiculousness of the prosecutors claims.
Mellie and Cyrus meanwhile try to figure out whether Fitz knows about Defiance, as suggested by Olivia.
