With all of the Scandal commercials lately, you’d think the show was returning this week but no. Olivia Pope and her gladiators won’t come back until September for their fourth season though creator Shonda Rhimes did reveal some teasers for next season.
When we left the cast, Olivia was on a plane with Jake going to wherever Papa Pope approves of and the Tender Scandal Piano Song was playing. TV Guide chatted with Rhimes and asked the pressing question: Is Olivia is officially done with President Fitz Grant?
Rhimes: I always think about the finale when she says to him very clearly, “I am in love with another man.” And he says, “Let’s go anyway.” He goes off with her knowing full well that she’s very clear about her feelings for somebody else. So, whatever that relationship is, as fun or romantic or happy as that will be, she’s very clearly in love with another man. I don’t know what that holds for them. They have to face whatever that’s going to mean.
She also shared that we will be “surprised” by the time period and location of Olivia and Jake. Will the couple be in Paris, strolling along the Seine? Maybe shivering in a Papa Pope-approve torturous man hole because the plane ride was really free trip to Gitmo?
Speaking of Papa Pope, who resumed command of B613 once his plan to kill the president’s son and blame someone else worked out so well, Rhimes says he will “definitely” be around next season. She doesn’t mention Mama Pope so her murder-for-hire antics are up in the air.
