Olivia Pope's life is thrown into chaos in the middle of handling a crisis affecting the lives of hundreds of people. The episode "No Sun on the Horizon" is the thirteenth installment in the third season of the American political thriller series, Scandal.

In this episode, a storm has hit West Angola, a small African country, which has led to a chemical spill that resulted in serious health hazards for the citizens. Mellie Grant, the First Lady of the United States, thinks that this is the perfect opportunity for her to take the lead and make known her humanitarian efforts by providing aid to the victims. However, Olivia is not convinced by her intentions upon discovering that Mellie was only doing it for publicity and to gain the sympathy of the American public so as to increase her poll numbers.

Meanwhile, David Rosen, who is the US Attorney General, is still reeling from the death of his girlfriend, causing him to lose focus on his duties. Jake Ballard, who has been tasked by the President to keep an eye on David Rosen, tries to persuade him to focus on his work and not on grieving.

As the team manages the crisis in West Angola, the power dynamics in Washington shift. Vice President Sally Langston, who has been unpopular in her own party, sees this crisis as an opportunity to get back into the good graces of her party and the American people. She uses her religious platform and position to voice her opposition to the President's policies.

Amidst the chaos, Olivia receives a shocking call from her father, Rowan, who runs a secret intelligence agency called B613. He shares some information about the current crisis in West Angola, which makes Olivia realize that there is more at stake than what meets the eye.

The episode "No Sun on the Horizon" covers a lot of ground, from the humanitarian crisis in West Angola to the political power plays in Washington, DC. It highlights the moral and ethical dilemmas that politicians, especially the President of the United States, face in the course of their work. It also takes a look at how grief affects individuals and how they can cope with it in their own ways.

Overall, this is an intense and action-packed episode that highlights the intricacies of politics and the fragility of human nature. It is a must-watch for all fans of the Scandal series.
