In Scandal Season 12 episode 17, Olivia will experience something that will rival moments like when she was kidnapped in Season 4 and when Fitz was shot in Season 2. The fixer is expected to get exact revenge for something, according to the episode promo.
Who will receive some not so sweet payback from Olivia? We will find out in the upcoming episode, called “Thwack,” which is best viewed on television or live online through ABC Live .
The presidential candidates will also band together to keep their deep dark secrets from getting out. We learned in episode 16 that Republican candidate Susan Ross was never married to the man she claimed was his late husband and that her daughter was fathered by a man who was in prison. We also know Democrat candidate Francisco Vargas has a young daughter with cancer. Surely Mellie Grant and Hollis Doyle also have several skeletons in their closets.
Meanwhile, Abby suspects that Lillian Forrester, one of Fitz’s post-marital flings is pregnant. She had the woman follower and discovered that she has toned down her exercise and has been visiting a doctor’s office, which houses primarily OBGYNs. Fitz appears shocked that Lillian was being followed, but as his new Chief of Staff, Abby said it was necessary.
The rest of the story unfolds Thursday when Scandal airs at 9 p.m. EDT on ABC.
