Tired of the election? Don’t worry, Scandal season 6 is over it as well! When the series returns the premiere will open on election night. No more debates, campaigning, or tongue-in-cheek references to the current election cycle.
Who will win the next seat in the White House? Season five ends with the two parties facing off for the Oval. Hoping to pick up where her husband left off, we have Mellie Grant and Jake Ballard on the Republican ticket. And on the Democratic ticket we have newcomer Francisco Vargas and Cyrus Beene.
Whichever way the votes fall we will see some familiar faces roaming the West Wing. Including, Fitz who still has some time left before he gets the boot.
But when Fitz is out, what becomes of Olivia Pope? Will the next president be willing to giver her as much free access as their predecessor?
At this juncture, no administration is going to function smoothly without a little help from Pope and Associates. However, that does not seem to be enough for Olivia. In fact, she seems to want the seat in the office more than the person actually running for it.
And what about Jake and Papa Pope’s plan for the nation? The two butt heads and form alliances more than Olivia and Fitz! Olivia fights to get her candidate into the seat, but if she succeeds, Jake Ballard will be the one spinning it.
The show’s return will welcome back
