Spoiler alert! This article contains “Scandal” spoilers. Read on if you would like to know what happens next before the next episode airs.

Spoilers reveal that Olivia is already on her way to becoming the most powerful woman in America. Even though Mellie (Bellamy Young) is the president, she was able to sit on the throne thanks to the former's help. In return, Olivia was appointed Chief of Staff of the White House. She is expected to use the position to gain a foothold and become more powerful.

In a recent interview, Young revealed it might take some time for her character to realise there is a traitor near her, and it does not happen to be Cyrus. She said that as much as Mellie is naïve to Olivia’s potential to make grim decisions, she always sought her advice when it comes to moral dilemmas. Olivia always gave honest answers to hard questions; this is why she has earned her trust.

Talking to TV Line, executive producer Shonda Rhimes had reminded fans that Olivia and Fitz have a complicated love story. “We are on a journey and it is coming to an end,” Rhimes said.

It should be remembered that in Season 6, Fitz decided to go low key and live a private life in Vermont after his White House duties. Olivia decided to continue working for the White House, but this time, it will be for Mellie.

Rhimes stated that viewers will be updated on how Fitz has been living away from Olivia. There will be episodes focusing on his struggles and whereabouts.

Season 7 of “Scandal” will premiere on ABC on October 5 at 9 p.m. The show also airs in Australia on Seven Network.
