George Newbern
Actor George Newbern describes why his character resonates so well with "Scandal" fans, that he was elevated from a guest star to recurring role. Gladiators just can't seem to get enough of the love triangle entangling Charlie, Quinn, and Huck. The best-kept Washington secret of all is the "Scandal" script itself. George explains how the cast is sworn to secrecy about the juicy plotlines after seeing things unravel at the table read. The father of three is so happy to be on such a successful show, he hopes with each flip of the page that he dodges the bullet of being killed off. Plus, George also takes a look back at the film "Father of the Bride." Check out our Twitter page @homeandfamilytv for a bonus message.

"Scandal" airs Thursdays at 10/9c on ABC.

Cristina Cooks Chipotle Glazed Beef Brisket
Susan Feniger returns to oversee Cristina as she recreates Susan's recipe for chipotle glazed beef brisket, a popular Passover entree. After trimming off excess fat, Cristina seasons the meat with a lot of paprika, salt, and pepper and then browns it on all sides. Once cooked, Susan instructs her to cut across the grain to keep the meat very tender. Then, she sears the slices until golden brown on both sides and adds glaze. Lastly, she dabbles apple sauce and horseradish on top.
