Before it goes on a long break, "Scandal" Season 5 will air one last intense episode, and it will involve Olivia (Kerry Washington) taking over the duties and responsibilities of a First Lady.
In the previous episode titled "Rasputin," Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) worked on striking important peace negotiations, while Olivia dealt with someone who claims to have powerful information for her. Meanwhile, Cyrus (Jeff Perry) made a shocking discovery, and as usual, he did his best to control the situation.
On episode 9 of "Scandal" Season 5, Yibada reports that Olivia will start to move to the White House, and she will become overwhelmed with the things she has to do as the First Lady of United States. It was revealed that Olivia will start to become flustered with her duties in the White House as they are very new to her. Can she work things out this time?
Meanwhile, based on the official synopsis for "Scandal" Season 5 episode 9, Cartermatt revealed that Mellie (Bellamy Young) will continue to show her true strength and influence. It was revealed that she will show the world how influential she still is. Elsewhere, Jake (Scott Foley) and Huck (Guillermo Díaz) will still continue to hunt down Rowan Pope (Joe Morton). Will they be able to find him in the winter finale?
After episode 9, it was reported that the show will be going on a break, and ABC has not officially confirmed the return date for the show yet. Many speculate that the show may be back either in late January or early February.
In the promotional video posted on Cartermatt, the show promises more intense and dramatic scenes before it goes on a break, and the fans will be treated with how Olivia will adjust to her new life in the White House.
