After the thrilling revelations in the previous episode of "Scandal" Season 5, President Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) will try to win back the hearts of the American people, while someone will be planning a huge comeback in the White House.
In "Scandal" Season 5 episode 6, Olivia (Kerry Washington) was forced to be engaged with the President so she won't speak to the impeachment jury. However, Olivia freaked out with the thought of settling down with Fritz, so she immediately shut down the plan.
Olivia then decided to ask for her father's help, and Rowan (Joe Morton) offered to get the judiciary committee to drop the case if she can free him from jail. She asked Mellie (Bellamy Young) for help and the judiciary committee dropped the case; now Papa Pope is a free man. Will Fritz find out that Olivia and Mellie worked together to free Rowan?
