'Scandal' Season 6 Must Know: Olivia Pope Will Be Haunted By Her Secret Crime; Mellie Versus Olivia's Stand On The Presidential Election

The 'she loves me, she loves me not' saga of Fitz and Olivia's "Scandal" continues on Season 6.  The waiting period took a little longer due to Kerry Washington's pregnancy, but it is indeed coming in January 2017.  All is set with the finest 'Gladiators' in the country, bracing for the Election turn-out.

"Scandal" Season 6 Trailer invites the viewers not to blink on the first ten minutes of its pilot episode because a jam packed action awaits them.  It is also the dedicated time for everyone to know what went after the election.  Mellie and Liv's unconventional team up begets multiple 'friendship' possibilities.  Mellie being groomed by the lady who cheated on her, Olivia, to become one of the World's leader is one thing. 

Fitz always has the power to pull the heart of "Scandal" Season 6 star Olivia back to him.  The trailer gives us a peek on how Liv is leaning towards Frank in a scene.  Aside from the much-awaited lovers' reunion, fans are also dying to know who's going to replace President Fitz.  Is it his former wife Mellie? Or could it be the former Pennsylvania Governor Frankie Vargas? 

Adding to the complexity of the story is Jake Ballard.  Both Jake and Liv are held in the palm of Rowan.  Olivia never hinted that it was her Father who put a decoy toward his plot.  Papa Pope's mocking smile in the "Scandal" 5's finale saying "That's my girl" confirms that he planted Jake and Olivia toward Mellie's ticket for a reason that would benefit his party.

In "Scandal" Season 5, Olivia ended the series with a secret crime. She killed the man behind her horrible kidnap in Season 4.  Olivia beat 'wheelchair bound' Andrew Nichols to death using a metal chair. For sure this crime will haunt Olivia in "Scandal" Season 6.  What's in store for the upcoming tranche? Everything will be answered by January 19, 2017 on ABC.
