Scandal fans have less than one week until the return of the Thursday night favorite. Kerry Washington is ready for the return of Olivia Pope, and she shared her excitement with fans of the show on Twitter on Thursday night. Katie Lowes joined Washington for an #AskScandal session, and fans asked both actresses for details on the big midseason premiere, Scandal Season 4 Episode 10 titled “Run.”
At the end of the winter finale, fans saw Olivia Pope vanish in less than thirty seconds after she decided to ignore what everyone else wanted of her and focus on what she wanted to do. Olivia Pope had enough of the tug of war between Jake and Fitz, and she had enough of trying to handle her father. She wanted the sun with Jake, and she wanted Vermont with Fitz. She wanted it all.
After that moment, Olivia’s life changes forever. Jake returned from the bedroom to find her missing. When Scandal Season 4 returns, fans will learn what happened to Olivia Pope.
Both Kerry Washington and Katie Lowes played coy when asked to drop any hints about the midseason premiere, but one lucky fan did have their teaser question answered. The fan asked the two stars for five words that described the midseason premiere. Kerry Washington did not hesitate with her answer.
#askscandal @tiyaapiyaa YES. It’s Unlike Anything We’ve Ever Done.
