The Bet is a romantic comedy from screenwriters Annie J. Dahlgren and Christina Eliason and the all-volunteer cast and crew of Community Film Studio Santa Barbara (CFSSB).

In the third episode of season two, SCANDAL had a weirdly prophetic plot about a top-secret NSA program called Thorngate that has the ability to spy—literally—on any American citizen for reasons described as “anti-terrorism.” The show, which generally distrusts all of its government officials, portrayed Thorngate as a nefarious, Big Brotherish violation rather than a way to protect American citizens. And just as the NSA data-mining story quickly become a conversation about personality—what kind of human is a whistleblower or a spy, whether we should dub that person a hero or a narcissist or a lunatic and whether we should care that he once made $200,000 a year or that his girlfriend is an acrobat—SCANDAL, too, interrogated the motivations and the background of its whistleblower.
