A video clip from this Thursday’s new episode of Scandal season 4 depicts Rowan and Olivia bonding over a glass of wine.
Photos show them at each other’s throats.
First let’s talk about the video clip. This scene from Scandal season 4, episode 5 does not show Rowan and Olivia fighting, so this scene must take place before the photos above. In this clip, the daughter and father are enjoying a glass of wine when Olivia begins to openly contemplate her relationship with Jake. She also wonders about his whereabouts, and Rowan acts like that huge scene at the end of last week’s episode didn’t happen.
Surely Olivia is going to be extremely pissed at her dad when she realizes that nearly everything he said in this moment was a lie.
Indeed, photos from Scandal season 4, episode 5 depict what must be Olivia learning something about what happened to Jake, because she and her father enter a fighting match. Other photos depict Abby and David.
The synopsis for Scandal season 4, episode 5, titled “The Key” hints at a return to the Catherine case which we last saw in episode 3. It reads, “Olivia and the team continue to investigate Catherine’s case, but Olivia is distracted when Jake stops returning her calls. Meanwhile, Cyrus falls deeper into the rabbit hole with Michael, David realizes what it’s like to finally be a winner in DC and Fitz seeks answers to Jerry’s death.”
How long will it take Olivia to realize that Jake has been taken off somewhere by Fitz following Tom’s confession about Jerry Jr.? Based on how fast this show moves, and Olivia’s thirst for Jake, it shouldn’t take too long. But will Olivia ever trust her father again? We hope not.
Scandal season 4, episode 5 airs this Thursday, October 23 at 9 p.m. eastern/pacific on ABC.
