Gladiators, after last week’s season 4 premiere of Scandal, I think it’s pretty safe to say that Olivia Pope and Associates are back! And in tonight’s episode, we can look forward to seeing lots of action, inside and outside of the White House.
In Scandal Season 4 Episode 2 “The State of the Union,” in order for Fitz to make the biggest impact with his State of the Union address on gun control, Cyrus sets out to recruit a power couple (Mary McCormick and Josh Randall) who are influential on the issue. Meanwhile, Mellie’s personal struggle gets national attention.
In this sneak peek from ABC, we can see Cyrus asking for Liv’s help to recruit that power couple–well, as you’ll see, Cyrus relies more on blackmail and coercion tactics to get Liv on board:
YIKES! But it must work, because in this stills released by ABC, we can see Liv and the gang are seen working with them.
Some of the most heartbreaking scenes from last week’s episode were of Mellie’s struggle to deal with Jerry Jr.’s death. Based on another still, it seems Mellie will be getting some unflattering media attention. Check out the two stills below along with others from tonight’s episode!






Make sure to tune in to tonight’s episode at 9:00pmET/8:00pmCT on ABC to see how this all shakes out. And you know I’ll be over on twitter live tweeting during TGiT, so join me!
