Two new promos for Scandal season 3, episode 10 tease what’s in store for the highly-anticipated second part of the show’s winter finale. Hint: Cyrus continues to suffer.

UPDATE: Read our Scandal recap for tonight’s episode!

In this first clip, we see Cyrus entering Vice President Sally’s home where he’s introduced to her dead husband (who she killed in last week’s episode). Cyrus is understandably silent and is surely trying to figure out how to handle such a surprising twist. Meanwhile, Sally speaks behind him about what this mistakes means in the eyes of God.

Last week Sally killed her husband after seeing the photos of he and Cyrus’ husband having sex.

In a second, trailer-style promo we see Olivia requesting everything they know about her mother Marie Wallace. In episode 9, we discovered that it’s actually Marie who’s the villain, not Olivia’s father Rowan. We also see a confrontation between Rowan and Quinn. The former asks Quinn, “do we have a deal?”

Scandal season 3, episode 10 is the show’s winter finale. New episodes of the beloved Shonda Rhimes drama will return in February.

After Thursday’s episode, titled “A Door Marked Exit,” there are eight episodes in season 3 remaining. There was supposed to be twelve more, but Kerry Washington’s pregnancy led the show to cut four episodes out so that they can finish filming before she gives birth in the spring.

Yesterday we shared photos from the Scandal season 3 winter finale which depict a confrontation between Olivia and Fitz in a private room. At the same link you’ll find another promotional trailer for the storyline.

Tomorrow, look forward to our exclusive interview with two of the show’s stars!
