Scandal season 4, episode 7 — airing tonight on ABC — will find Fitz trying to rekindle his and Olivia’s old flame. But Ms. Pope has other things on her mind.
A clip released by ABC for tonight’s new episode of Scandal season 4 depicts Fitz calling Olivia late one night to flirt with his former lover. As Olivia reveals in the scene, Fitz has been calling her every night since their chat last episode. The conversation sounds romantic until Olivia brings up that pesky Jake guy again. Watch:
On last week’s episode of Scandal we watched as Olivia told Fitz that there was a chance they could get back together so long as he kept Jake safe from harm (also known as her father). In what we considered a cheesy moment, the president got way too excited about this new opportunity. Nonetheless, he decided to take Jake out of Rowan’s hands which, naturally, pissed off Papa Pope.
Tonight’s episode will find Olivia taking on a new case of the week and going to Tom — who’s really at the center of this case — for some help. “Olivia, still unable to believe that Jake is guilty, sets her eyes on Tom for additional information, and when Leo Bergen’s newest client causes a gut wrenching reaction, her associates spring into action,” the synopsis states. “Meanwhile, Huck continues to play with fire, Mellie makes a power move and Elizabeth’s shocking alliance is revealed.”
The clip above depicts Mellie listening in on Fitz’s conversation with Olivia, so this scene will surely encourage the “power move” she’s going to make during tonight’s episode. We’re so glad First Lady Bitsy had a big influence on her!
In photos from the episode we see that Fitz is somehow bringing Abby’s ex-husband Charles (pictured center, below) back into the fold. Abby and Charles had an arranged marriage that ended after he drunkenly beat her. It’ll be interesting to see why Fitz is bringing him into the Oval Office, where he’ll obviously be interacting with Abby in some capacity.
Scandal season 4, episode 7 airs Thursday, November 6 at 9 p.m. eastern/pacific on ABC. After the episode airs, return to Hypable for our recap! In the meantime, check out our recap of last week’s episode.
