'Scandal' season 4 premiere spoilers: Can Jake and Fitz save Olivia in new episodes?

 Wikipedia

It is only a week before the second half of "Scandal" season 4 airs, but fans cannot wait to find out what's in store for Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington). 

In the midseason finale last month, Olivia was abducted by an unknown person. Will she finally resurface in the upcoming episode? The official plot for the soon-to-be released episode titled "Run" reads: 

"Exactly what happened when Jake went to the bedroom? Who took Olivia and where did she go?" 

According to spoilers, viewers will finally find out who kidnapped Olivia when she was hanging out with Jake (Scott Foley). Yet the former White House communications director will still be nowhere in sight. Jake will reportedly team up with Olivia's staff Quinn (Katie Lowes) and Huck (Guillermo Diaz) to help save her life. 

However, Darby Stanchfield, the actress who plays the role of Abby Whelan, shared a juicy teaser for the upcoming episode of "Scandal" season 4. 

"There is the most freakin' hugest surprise that happens in the next four episodes that the original gladiators are going to freakout over. The only clue I can give you is that the fans of the first season are going to lose their minds," the actress said during an interview with TVLine. 

Stanchfield also claimed that the big shocker will make a huge impact in the show. 

On the other hand, the promo photos for the upcoming episode in "Scandal" season 4B show Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) looking miserable while having to make the decision of launching war against West Angola to be able to save Olivia from her abductors. But it seems like the president will weigh all the factors before he comes up with a choice since spoilers claim that his decision will have to wait until episode 11 titled "Where's the Black Lady?" 

"Scandal" season 4 episode 10 airs on Jan. 29.
