Fans of the series were directed to an image on the Instagram account for the show, asking its Gladiators (that’s you, anyone that considers themselves a Scandal fan) to get the image to 10,000 likes — or hearts in Instaspeak — in order to unlock a special clip from the February 27th winter premiere. And as is true to the dedicated fashion of Olivia Pope converts, within three hours the goal was reached and this video was unearthed for your viewing pleasure. ~ BUSTLE
According to TV Line:
The truncated, eight-episode back half of Season 3 will focus more on Fitz’s reelection campaign, which is bound to be complicated by loose threads. For one, EP Betsy Beers mused, “It’s going to be interesting to see how much the fat lady sung” when it comes to Daniel Douglas’ “heart attack.” Beers also forecast an “incredibly complicated combo plate of reactions” if Liv learns of Jake’s role as Command and suggested that Quinn’s gladiator status might not be officially revoked. Jon Tenney (The Closer) is booked for an arc as a rumored romantic interest for long-forsaken Mellie, while “Olitz”… does what Olitz does. “Fitz and Olivia are always intertwined in very odd and new ways,” Beers notes. “I would expect that that’s something that will continue.”
