Olivia Pope is no tawdry mistress.
That was the message the White House attempted to send on Scandal Season 5 Episode 5, as Olivia tried to pass herself off as someone truly, madly, deeply in love.
Which isn"t exactly a lie, of course.
It"s the truth and it"s been the truth for a very long time now and the public is only first catching up.
But might this story backfire on Olivia and Fitz? Might the new Chief of Staff (who is really the old Chief of Staff; welcome back, Cyrus!) come up with a new step in the couple"s PR defense that takes everyone by surprise:
A wedding! For real! On the heels of a divorce!
What could possibly go wrong?!?
That"s very much what ABC is teasing in the promo featured here for Scandal Season 5 Episode 6, titled "Get Out of Jail, Free."
Will Olivia and Fitz really go through with it? What will the fallout be from Cyrus even floating this idea to the controversial couple?
Tune in on Thursday, October 29 at 9/8c on ABC for the answer and get your first look at scenes to come right here and now.
