Scandal is about to break all channels of social media once again. This Thursday’s episode will unfold a surprising storyline for Kerry Washington’s character and her controversial relationship with the president. With the help of Cyrus Beene, it has been previewed that fan favorite couple, Fitz and Olivia, will officially tie the knot on the Oct. 29th episode. To this end, Washington offered her thoughts about Olivia’s relationship with the POTUS and how it mirrors the events in true life.
As seen in the promo released by ABC via Youtube, the episode entitled “Get Out of Jail Free” finds Cyrus Beene -- who just got back from the POTUS’ good graces – proposing the wedding of the year. As crazy as it sounds, it looks like the President will officially wed America’s Mistress.
To this end, viewers are in for another eventful hour. To witness this kind of ridiculous wedding from the eyes of the American people is definitely an episode to look forward to. Should Shonda Rhimes deliver “Get Out of Jail Free” with rave reviews, it can only reflect how the actors in this political series are giving their 100 percent in each episode.
Fans should also look out for Sally Langston’s political attacks against the duo soon after the wedding is made official.
Olivia Pope’s portrayer, Kerry Washington, echoed her thoughts about the advancing relationship of her character with the president. In a report from USA Today, she said, “What's true on our show is what's true in life. That once you commit to a relationship, that's the beginning, not the end. And so it is an entirely new beginning for Fitz and Olivia to exist in a way they've never existed before."
Elsewhere in the episode, Quinn, Huck and the rest of the OPA will resume their mission to defend Olivia against media attacks. Also, vice-president Susan Ross will seek out help from David Rosen for advice. The synopsis was shared by The Futon Critic.
