Scandal Season 5 ends the short-lived happy ending of season 4 where Rowan was put away, Cyrus was fired, Millie was thrown out and Olivia and Fitz show off their love as the forthcoming season premieres on September 24 for more scandals in DC.
Last season ends with love in the air as Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) and President Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn) shares a passionate kiss in the White House. Hulk (Guillermo Diaz), on the other hand, begs for Quinn to give him death after he killed the grand jurors for Command but Quinn spares the life of the man she does almost everything with.
But since the characters live in Shonda-land as Den of Geek calls the realm of the show runner- Shonda Rimes, the quiet waters won't last long. Here are some predictions for the characters in season 5 of Scandal.
Cyrus Beene after being removed as Chief of Staff might seek revenge particularly when he finds some political support against Fitz.
Elizabeth north takes Cyrus' office as Fitz new right hand woman. The question on her motives recur as the audience wonders whether she is really working for the best of America or she is sneaking up the political ladder.
Millie Grant after getting into the Senate is drastically down when Fitz, her husband and President of the State asks her to leave the house. Millie losses her husband but she could not afford to lose even in her political battle against Elizabeth. The audience can expect more intense battle between the two in the next season.
Huck in the season 5 could end up in the jail after Quinn spared his life despite his plea of being killed for his crimes. Quinn's action on the other hand shakes her integrity as a police officer.
Jake Ballard seems to accept his defeat from Fitz over Olivia. But in an interview with Yahoo, actor Scott Folley as reported by Drama Stars teases that there are a lot of roles that are going to shift in the next season including his.
Though the finale of Scandal Season 4 seems to be the perfect ending of the series, Shonda know just how to make the new season more scandalous than ever. The craving of the audience for more is yet to be satisfied in Scandal Season 5 which is to premiere on September 24, Thursday, on ABC.
