Kerry replies, "Thanks Katie, it feels so natural. It's kind of odd. We didn't realize how strong it was, until seeing some of the clips from the episode. But it's definitely hot." Darby responds, "Girl, you can say that again. It's freaking amazing. Good job." Kerry replies, "Thanks Darby."

Obviously not wanting to congratulate her directly, but being on the spot to a degree. Bellamy says, "Yes, it's definitely a strong dynamic between you two. I think Mellie and Fitz also have quite a strong connection."

Darby and Katie both look at Kerry, and the feeling between them is obvious. But Kerry takes it in stride as she says, "I agree Bells, the connection between all of the characters is quite strong. It's exciting to have such a dynamic cast with such skill."

Again Kerry manages to frustrate Bellamy, by not buying into her back hand compliments, and her refusal to acknowledge the bond between Fitz and Olivia, over the connection between Mellie and Fitz. But regardless of her denial, they all know who the greatest dynamic exists between.

Their conversation is broken up by Shonda calling for their attention. They all take their seats, Tony as always, saves a seat for Kerry. She sits next to him, as they all gather to watch the episode.

As they watch together, the room is full of intensity and drama. In the end it doesn't disappoint. It ends to great applause by everyone. Josh says, "Talk about hot. Damn Kerry and Tony." Everyone laughs as they all smile and laugh.

Columbus says, "I can't lie. That was hot. Good job you two. Here's to giving us a ratings bomb. Because when that episode airs, it's going to be a huge explosion." Jeff responds, "Agreed, this is ratings gold."

Shonda nods as she adds, "That's exactly what the execs said. It's hotter than fire guys, and I can't wait for everyone to see it." Tony replies, "Well, this project is about all of our hard work, and I am sure we all will make quite the splash. To the success of the show, for all of us."

As they all share in the toast; the conversation still revolves around the hotel scene, and how the chemistry between Liv and Fitz, is something that people won't believe stops, when the cameras go off. The intensity of their chemistry is undeniable, neither one of them can blame them for their intrigue. But at the same time, they are both working overtime, to change the narrative during conversation.

After they all raise their glasses in celebration of the episode. They all agree they've worked hard, and this is a great way to roll into the next week of shooting their final episode of the first season, and they kick off several weeks of promotional tours.

As the evening continues, Kerry and Tony have some success of changing the course of conversation. The night becomes fun filled and enjoyable, despite the looming tenseness stemming from Bellamy. But Kerry refuses to give in to her pettiness. A vigilant Tony, sees Kerry is reaching her limit with Bellamy. So he offers to cut their night short, and Kerry obliges, as they are the first to leave.

As they ride home together, Kerry says, "That was interesting." Tony responds, "It was something. I wish Bellamy would stop with her silliness." Kerry replies, "You're not alone. But she can't help herself. Sometimes, I think she forgets she's playing a character."

Tony laughs at her remark, and she joins him in laughter as he says, "You may have a point. But I told you the chemistry factor would work to our advantage."

She nods as she says, "You were right babe. I'm just glad they were able to cover up my moment." He smiles as he says, "Yes, me too. I was happy they left all of the unscripted speech in the final clip too. It fit well."

Kerry sighs as she says, "It did, but you know Shonda wasn't pleased about that right?" He laughs as he says, "I think we both know she's never pleased about us changing things, but she appreciates it when she sees the finished product. So I'll take the scolding, if it ends with us being successful." She nods in agreement as she says, "Amen baby."

As they arrive home; they see a billboard promoting the show, and the intensity between them jumps off of the page. She feels the heat, as she stares at the image. She remembers how hot she felt in the moment, and thinks to herself, if she feels it this strongly, there's no way others won't feel the same way.
