This week’s episode of “The Oval” picks up from that awkward moment when Eli, Simone, and Sam caught Donald and Kyle getting it on in the Oval Office. Still wearing his hospital gown, Eli, fresh from almost going to the devil’s cellar, kicks Sam and Kyle out. But it’s Simone who has a lot to say. She calls Donald out for being inappropriate and asks if his wife knows. Eli tells her to be quiet and she leaves them alone. Eli is more concerned about where Hunter is, and he thanks Donald for saving them. 

Over at Nancy and Richard’s house, Dale and Sharon walk in on her screaming and breaking all their plates and any decorative item nailed down. They try to calm her down but that’s a fool’s mission. She eventually tells them the obvious, which is that she feels bad for the affair with Richard’s father, and that she’s grieving her son, but hold that thought because this is about to get wilder. 

Simone pulls Lily aside and tries to tell her about Donald, but Lily controls the conversation first. Lily tries to get Simone to admit that she was messing with Bobby. Simone denies it, but Lily then reveals that she once wanted to leave with Bobby, but she’s Donald’s trophy wife and that Donald will destroy her if she leaves so she’s trapped. Lily is annoyed by Simone’s unwillingness to tell the truth and prepares to leave but then Simone reveals she saw Kyle and Donald having sex. 

Lily already knows, but Simone doesn’t have to know all that. Lily tells Simone she’d be surprised if they weren’t messing around. Lily then pulls another power play by asking Simone how long Eli has slept with Victoria. Simone is shocked, and Lily says that Donald has given her all the tea. Simone asks Lily what her endgame is and Lily says it’s to kill Donald before he kills her. In other words, this is her one-woman show. 

Let’s go to the kitchen, where Hunter is watching Priscilla make him the sandwich she promised. They bond and chit-chat about a variety of things. Hunter reveals that Victoria had been drugging him and finally confesses that Jason killed her cousin, Jean, but that it was Victoria who covered it up. Priscilla keeps her composure because he is still complicit in moving on like Jason isn’t a psychopath. 

Fast forward to Victoria following Priscilla into the Oval Office where Eli sits on a couch with Donald. Priscilla reveals that Hunter can walk and blows up Victoria’s spot for drugging him. Victoria plays dumb, but Priscilla tells her that Hunter knows what she has been up to. Eli says they’re trying hard to solve the situation, but Priscilla tells Donald that Hunter doesn’t trust him, however, he still wants to see him. Donald says hell no, at first, understanding that it could be a trap, but Priscilla tells him that she knows Hunter that Donald wouldn’t just go up there Willy Nilly so she made a deal with him that there wouldn’t be any funny business. While all this is going on, Victoria keeps making snippy comments and interrupting the flow, and it gets to the point where Eli kicks her out. She obliges, but Eli likely won’t be able to come back from that. Donald agrees to go with Priscilla to talk to Hunter. 

Finally, the episode ends back at Nancy and Richard’s house. Dale and Sharon seem to have calmed her down and are helping her to clean up. But then Richard comes in, feeling like he needs to match her previous hostile energy, and he doesn’t say a word, he just starts strangling Nancy as Sharon and Dale helplessly try to stop it. And that’s it for this week.
