ABC’s ‘Scandal’ season 4 spoilers: Bellamy Young’s Mellie dives into another story

So far on “Scandal” season 4, some of the stories for Mellie Grant have been more than a little bit interesting. This is a woman who is still in the midst of a recovery from devastation, and it is very hard to argue against her life always having a certain element of chaos in it the rest of the way.

During this past episode, we saw her try to use a high-profile cast as a distraction for what ails her, only for it to be solved right from under her in the midst of getting together a massive task force. Moving into the upcoming sixth episode this season entitled “An Innocent Man,” this could happen again. This time around, though, her fixation will be on something a little more historical.

There are also a few other interesting story threads worth looking into when it comes to this episode, including Olivia taking on one of her most interesting cases yet, and Elizabeth’s continued quest to mess up the White House further. Take a look at the synopsis for it now below:

“Olivia is summoned by a convicted assassin who claims he was wrongly accused, and Mellie becomes intrigued by a former first lady whose stories seem to be strikingly similar to her own. Meanwhile, Elizabeth inches closer to corrupting the White House and Fitz makes a shocking move.”

So how long will it be before Fitz starts to feel like he is in danger of losing his Presidency completely? This is a question that we find ourselves asking often when it comes to this show, and we imagine that tradition still continuing here.
