'Scandal' season 5 episode 12 spoilers: Abby oversteps her bounds with Fitz

Abby (Darby Stanchfield) will earn her boss' displeasure by breaking his hot and steamy makeout session with a nubile reporter in the upcoming episode of the hit ABC series "Scandal."

In "Wild Card," the promo shows that the President of the United States is still preoccupied with the pretty journalist he met last episode. His obsession will get so bad, even his press secretary Abby (Darby Stanchfield) is worried about him. In the clip, she is complaining that Fitz is behaving like "a horny teenager." He and the reporter can be seen making out while in the presidential car. When Fitz brings the woman to the White House, Abby inevitably walks in on them while they were engaged in foreplay.

Fitz is obviously displeased with Abby, shouting at her and telling her she is way out of line. Abby, for her part, looks very disappointed that the POTUS is letting his libido get in the way of work. It certainly looks like Fitz is determined to have an affair with the woman and nobody can stop him from doing it, even if it means making an ass out of himself. Will his indiscretion push the only remaining person loyal to him to quit her job?

Cyrus (Jeff Perry) is definitely over his dream of becoming a powerful Chief of Staff in the Grant administration. He is now throwing the towel to focus on his next master plan, the campaign for the Governor of Pennsylvania. Liz (Portia de Rossi), meanwhile, is working on Susan (Artemis Pebdani) to make her run in the next presidential election. The synopsis reveals that she will be using David (Josh Malina) to "mastermind a plan of her own." Elsewhere, Olivia (Kerry Washington) wants to know what Jake (Scott Foley) is planning as the new head of the National Security Agency (NSA).

"Scandal" season 5 airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.
