ABC’s ‘Scandal’ season 2 spoilers: Scoop on a surprising death
“Scandal” season 2 has delivered some great ratings throughout 2013 thus far, but you have to believe that episode 13 on Thursday has the potential to knock all of the past episodes out of the park. If the season was structured as originally planed, this would serve as a finale; and thus, it is going to really feel as such throughout the course of the hour.
So what sort of things are often in finales? Think along the lines of betrayals, big decisions, and shocking deaths. (Hey, this is a Shonda Rhimes show.) According to Zap2It, what is particularly surprising about the person who dies during this episode, though, is that the person who does end up passing away actually will bring Fitz closer to Mellie again.
For fans of Fitz and Olivia, we’re sure that this could bring possible gladiator tears. It has seemed over the past two weeks that Fitz was surely ready to say goodbye to his relationship with the First Lady, and was even willing to risk his entire political career and approval ratings in order to do so. However, this one event could cast a little bit of doubt as to whether or not that happens. (The fact that Scott Foley is coming on board the show soon as a possible love interest to Olivia could make things even worse.)
Much of the nine episodes that follow Thursday are still wrapped in mystery; and save for the aforementioned new character, the only other thing that we can confirm is that there will be a time jump of almost a full year between one installment and the next.
Who do you think is likely to pass away? Be sure to share some of your thoughts below, and you can also watch a brief clip of this episode over at the link here.

Yes, I’ll be sad that Olitz will no longer be a couple. If Fitz can turn his feelings off and on like that then maybe he really didn’t love Olivia as much as we thought. I can see if the baby dies they both will be upset but, remember he was explaining to Olivia how Mellie put the baby in danger by have her Dr. induce her labor early?? To me he would be upset and sad. Verna his mother? He didn’t grow up with his mom, what she left when he was a baby? If you remember in beltway unbuckled Mellie asked the secret service guys what made Fitz unhappy? One of the choices was did he speak to him mother? I do know that Verna will pass. I’m stomped!!

I think Verna will die. She had terminal cancer. It will be terrible if something happens to their baby. I think Olivia will marry Edison, but she doesn’t love him. She loves Fitz.
I think in order to keep the public on the edge of their seats, the writer of the series will keep us “hanging” wondering if Fitz and Olivia will eventually become a legal/solid couple. Fitz can’t divorce Mellie for Olivia and stay President. Even though, I want to see Fitz and Olivia together.

Scenario 1:Verna is Fitz’s real mother. She lets him and Mellie know the real truth on her death bed. This is the reason why she scarificed so much for him. This tragic event brings them (Fitz and Mellie) closer together.
Scenario 2: The new baby dies suddenly of sids. This tragic event brings Fitz and Mellie closer together.

I don’t know who will die (a child would be most unpleasant) but if this miserable marriage is dragged out I will stop watching because it’s not entertaining to watch a bad marriage. That’s not what I a want to see in my TV fiction.
