Mellie (Bellamy Young) welcomed President Rashad (Faran Tahir), the President of Bashman, to the White House for a state dinner on the latest episode of Scandal.
Her aim was to reach an agreement on nuclear weapons in Bashman and sign a treaty. When she found him hostile, Olivia (Kerry Washington) enlisted Jake (Scott Foley) to help her dig up dirt on him.
Jake discovered that Rashad was sending his niece to a University in the US, which contradicted the position he held in his own country. Olivia tried to threaten him but he refused to give in to her.
