RECAP: Scandal‘s Final Season, Episode 1
Shonda Rhimes has done it again, airing out the seventh and final season of her hit TV show, Scandal.
On October 5, ABC launched the final season of Scandal, giving viewers a taste of what’s yet to come. The first episode is called ‘Watch Me’, and in case you missed it, I would stay clear of this recap.
With a little drama and excitement, the season started like no other. With Luna Vargas dead, Mellie Grant, Cyrus Beene, and everyone’s favourite, Olivia Pope, manage to make their way into the White House.
With Mellie as POTUS, Olivia Pope is her Chief of Staff, giving her all the power to work her way into DC. This episode didn’t disappoint as Olivia Pope is still her manipulative, power hungry self. She can be seen blackmailing a Senator into giving back a positive response on the free education bill, something Mellie had been cooking up in previous seasons.
OPA, or now QPA, which stands for Quinn Perkins and Associates, is seen scrounging for clients, slowly taking in that since Pope moved on to the white house, a lot of old clientele has vanished. Huck, Charlie, Abby, and Quinn, are given a case when Madeline Stewart needs help locating her father.
It had been a while since he contacted Madeline, leaving her confused and worried over his whereabouts. Jake Ballard, Director of the NSA and Oliva’s former flame, looks into her father only to find out that he’s a CIA agent who helps the Nation by working undercover. Ballard suggests that the only way to help out is to kill him, as theirs a possible risk of getting caught by a terrorist.
But just like clockwork, Olivia Pope cooked up another plan which saved Madeline’s father instead of ending his life, despite Jake’s protest.
Cyrus, Vice President of the United States, is still seen slithering around as he meets up with Senator Diane Greenwald to talk about the Vargas bill. Of course, she disagrees and tells Cyrus that he should start to figure out his future presidency, instead of always being under Olivia and Mellie.
The episode ended with Mellie and Ambassador Marachi, as they have a reunion to discuss the American assets being kept in Bashman.
It’s exciting to see where this season will take us. Until then, grab your favourite wine, a white hat, and tune in next time for another episode recap!
Premiere Date Set for Scandal‘s Final Season
ABC has (finally) unveiled its premiere plan for the 2017-18 TV season. So that means the season premiere of Scandal‘s swan song has been set!
[WPGP gif_id=”6266″ width=”600″]
The Shondaland TGIT block will start with a two-hour season premiere for Grey’s Anatomy, followed by How To Get Away With Murder on September 28, with Scandal joining the lineup the following week for its slightly abbreviated final season.
So that means Scandal‘s 18 episode final season will premiere on October 5, 2017.
