It’s all led to this! Scandal’s season 4 airs tonight on ABC, and all signs are pointing to one goal.
The trailer for Scandal season 4, episode 22 offers one clue about the finale, and it’s hardly a shocker: Olivia wants to take down Papa Pope. The elimination of Olivia’s father has been the goal for a long time, but in the latter half of season 4 she’s seemed particularly serious about getting rid of him. Will she truly “handle” the situation tonight? Or is this arc going to go in circles like the Olivia/Fitz romance?
There appears to be only one way to truly get rid of him, and that’s to kill him. In any other situation, like Rowan being imprisoned via David’s case in court, he would break out thanks to his endless list of undercover employees.
A brief clip towards the beginning of the season 4 finale’s trailer suggests that Attorney General David will be bringing his case against B613 to the government, while another clip reveals Mama Pope will be back in the picture. Will she help her daughter take down her father?
A clip from tonight’s episode offers a disturbing scene: Rowan, now a benefactor of Mellie’s campaign posing as a southerner with zero affiliation to B613, asks her to support some of his causes. She appears to agree — but will she panic once Rowan leaves the room?
A synopsis reveals that Mellie will also be a focus of the episode as her Senate campaign comes to an end. “Everything comes to a head in the shocking season finale when Olivia and the team finally make some big moves to take down Command, and Mellie’s fate is sealed as the election results are announced,” ABC says.
The Scandal season 4 finale arrives just days after ABC announced the series has been renewed for a fifth season, which’ll air Thursday nights at 9 p.m. eastern/pacific beginning this fall!
