The floor continues to run red with Rowan Pope terrorizing the team tasked to take down B613. The previous episode of "Scandal" showed Jake as the first target, and with the bloody condition Russell left him, the police captain was left to die. With this, fans were priming themselves to carry on without him.
However, the sadness of disbelieving fans who thought the character has been killed off has been punctured. An image from the series shows Jake recuperating from his stab wounds on a hospital bed. But although Jake narrowly escaped death, Olivia's father promises that he is just getting started.
In a promo for the upcoming episode titled "First Lady Sings the Blues," Olivia, who went hopping mad upon knowing Jake was killed, tells Quinn that her father is prepared to kill everybody just to prove a point or teach her a lesson. Anyone around her is not safe anymore.
Now, Olivia and her team are taking "drastic" measures to ensure that what happened to Jake will not happen to anybody else. But with the clip also teasing that "one by one, he is coming for them all," it looks like somebody may fail to "make it out alive."
Will Olivia and her team succumb to her father's violence? It is hard to imagine how they can avoid getting killed while they put themselves in the lion's den. It is especially thrilling as the finale of "Scandal" season 4 is just two episodes away.
The upcoming episode will also show a "mortified" Mellie who watches the nation turn against her. Good thing she is not alone in this horrible situation as Cyrus feels like it is obligatory (or is it?) to help her out.
"Scandal" season 4 episode 20 "First Lady Sings the Blues" airs on April 23.
