Mellie has always been the linchpin holding the Grant presidency together. Whenever she’s been called upon, she’s come through for Fitz, helping to solidify his image as an upstanding family man through (fabricated) tales of their marital happiness and giving him the bump in the polls needed to withstand controversy. However, her one demand has been for him to stay away from Olivia Pope, something that Fitz can’t seem to do. He continues to call the political fixer and, on the most recent episode of Scandal, visited her at the hospital after she fell at Jake’s. Should Mellie get wind that he risked being seen in public with her by running to her side at an unsecured hospital room, will she decide that she’s through with holding things together for her husband?
Listed below are the dates, titles, and descriptions of the next two episodes of Scandal.
Thursday, April 25th – “Seventy-Two”
Secrets from Huck’s life before Pope and Associates are revealed, Olivia and Fitz engage in an emotionally charged conversation, unaware of the fact that someone could be watching, and Olivia’s team comes together to help one of their own. Meanwhile, Cyrus is becoming increasingly skeptical of Jake, and Mellie makes a decision that could bring down the White House.
Thursday, May 2nd – “A Woman Scorned”
The team continue their investigation into the mole and make a shocking discovery in the process. Meanwhile Fitz orders Jake to continue to protect Olivia, who is still very much in danger, and back at the White House Mellie’s ultimatum forces Cyrus into the role of “fixer”.
Scandal airs Thursdays at 10:00 on ABC.
Is Jake the one watching Olivia and Fitz at the hospital? What type of ultimatum could Mellie bring forth that puts Cyrus on the defensive? How long will it be before the truth about Jake is revealed to Fitz?
Sorry, Mellie has NOT been the linchpin holding the Grant presidency together! This season alone we have seen her ambush Fitz on national televison, using words like genocide to force him into war, sandbag him again on national television in the case about the girl who was killed by a diplomat, commit TREASON by forging his letter of reinstatement when he was still in a coma, induce the labor of “America’s Baby” 4 full weeks early in order to manipulate him, and have a contact the families of the hostages behind his back while revealing military strategy. I could go on, but I’ll leave it there. Truth is, she’s caused more trouble than not. On occasion she has been useful…but then again a broken clock is right twice a day too!
First of all I don’t ever take any of mellie’s threats seriously I know she’s all talk and won’t do anything to jeopardize her position as First Lady . She’s not that in love with the president she just wants him to to be faithful to her she’s more concerned about what she can get out of him
Mellie’s is no threat at all
Jake is not the mole but jake knows who the mole is. Olivia was supposed to be at her house the night she hit her head jake offered to come over .but at the last minute he invited her over to his house and therefore olivia wasn’t where she was supposed to be .cyrus had Molly killed because he doesn’t want it to look like president grant told the nation a lie or is incompetent about who the real mole is
There’s a good chance that Vice President Sally Langston is the mole and wanted to put grant down. Nellie is just a joke I mean seriously I never take her serious shes hanging on to fitz by a thread .
Olivua was supposed to die and last minute Jakes feelings got in the way . Jake can’t have anyone know him and olivia are together because the real mole which could also be the guy jake was talking too will take them both out
