Last week’s episode of Scandal season 3 ended on a scary cliffhanger: Jake told Olivia she just killed the president.
Update: Read our recap of tonight’s episode!
Tonight’s Scandal season 3 episode, titled “Flesh and Blood,” airs at 10 p.m. eastern/pacific on ABC. According to a synopsis, “A security breach calls for an all hands on deck situation at OPA. Fitz’s re-election campaign becomes stalled and he considers going against Olivia’s advice. Meanwhile, Adnan and Maya continue to plot their next move.”
How did Olivia make such a devastating mistake? Pope and Associates successfully dismantled B613 by disabling their equipment. The timing of the shutdown couldn’t have been worse because Jake was in the middle of monitoring Maya and her bomb. Which she is planning to use on Fitz.
In a teaser for next week we see the president speaking at a re-election event where the bomb has seemingly been planted. If you’re concerned about Fitz being killed, you should check out this article for hints into his future.
The video is very eerie if only because there’s no voiceover or music other than what you hear at the re-election event. Interestingly, Olivia is present at the event but doesn’t appear to be in a rush to disable the bomb. Watch below:
In an intense clip from the episode, Olivia confronts Mellie about her affair with Andrew Nichols and which kid is the VP candidate’s. What Olivia doesn’t know yet is that Andrew isn’t the father — Fitz’s father is.
Check out several photos from the episode as well. These stills focus on Huck, Maya, Adnan, and Harrison:

How do you think Olivia will save Fitz at this event?
Since it is the penultimate episode of the season, we wouldn’t be surprised to see a figurative bomb or two in “Flesh and Blood.” Perhaps the final take-down of Maya and/or B613 is imminent?
