Madame President Mellie Grant just wants the world to accept the fact that female achievement can come from the highest level; and getting the President of Bashranin in the Middle East to sign a peace treaty was the first step in which she succeeded.  Grant stuck through the tough discussions and sly comments about her and used her charm to win over President Rashad. Meanwhile, QPA attended the state dinner and didn't find any new clients despite their efforts .  Olivia continued her usual spew messing around with talk show host and politician Curtis Pryce , despite not wanting him as a date to the state dinner.  The episode concludes with Olivia kissing Curtis in the elevator on the way up to her floor just to see that former President of the U.S. and ex boyfriend, Fitzgerald Grant is waiting for her. 

President Mellie Grant , the first female to hold this prestige, is having trouble being taken seriously; hence, she's a recently divorced and single woman.  In tonight's episode of "Pressing the Flesh," Madame President Grant cozies up to President Rashad of fictional Bashranin, in an attempt to find peace in the Middle East.  Recently on the outs ever since Olivia Pope , current White House Chief of Staff and former leader/founder of Olivia Pope and Associates leaves, the new QPA of Quin and Associates struggle to find new clientele.  Previously it was seen that Olivia, though very busy trying to push a new bill through, isn't too busy for a little romance with talk show host and politician Curtis Pryce.
