All of my Scandal feels right now...

Seriously, the scene where Huck testifies about the "Hole" made me go right to the bank and withdraw all of my feels.  Every.  Single.  One.  I'm feels broke, ya'll.

In the beginning, it is revealed that Huck gave some of those top secret B6-13 files to his wife because she didn't believe him.  Now they've come back to bit all of the characters.  Huck's wife went to David with the files, not knowing David was, like the others, already in deep.  So David and Jake find out Huck's real name is Diego.  Huck agrees to pull everything back when he testifies in front of his wife and David.  And things were going according to plan until his wife mentioned "The Hole."

The "Hole" was basically B6-13's solitary confinement cell.  No light, no food, no contact.  Huck was thrown in the hole when B6-13 found out he had a wife and kid, which are two things an agent should not have.  When Huck goes "off script" by saying he was thrown in the The Hole, David's eyes bug out and you can tell he's silently begging Huck to stick to their script of denial.  So David asks him to describe The Hole, and this is where the feels train slams into you with full force.

Huck spent what appeared to be months in The Hole.  He said it was "too dark to see."  The only thing you have when you're in The Hole is your imagination.  He said he'd walked through 195 countries, a different country every day.  He liked the mountains.  He'd clean files off his computer.  How he ate lunch at the same time every day even when he didn't have any food.  He'd build things in the afternoon, a bookshelf, a desk.  How important it was to watch the Sun set.  How he listened to birds, and how he slept but tried not to dream.  He wrote a letter to his wife and kid every morning, and would fold it up and put it on his desk.  How he measured the walls of The Hole every day, that was his routine.  He stressed how important it was for him to have a routine in The Hole.

Oh Huck :(

All the whie Huck is talking, the camera occasionally switched over to his wife, who had tears running down her face.

And then it showed David, standing beside Huck, struggling not to cry while Huck talked on. This is what got me.  When the one character on your favorite tv show who always cracks dark humored, sarcastic jokes starts to cry, that's it.  Game over.  Things just got too real.
You could see the mix of shame and sadness on his face.  Ashamed for trying to make Huck cover all that up, and sadness for what he endured in The Hole.
So David sits back down, takes off his glasses, and wipes his eyes.  He then shares a look with Huck that clearly says, "I'm sorry."

This scene literally bankrupted my feels.
