ABC’s ‘Scandal’ season 2 spoilers: First look at episode with ‘Fringe’ star

ScandalWe know that there are plenty of people out there who still miss the brilliance that was Fox’s “Fringe,” but we are pleased to report that for the return of the ABC drama “Scandal” on April 25, we are going to see an appearance from none other than Jasika Nicole as a woman who could play a major role in messing around with the lives of both Olivia and Fitz. The unfortunate thing at the moment, though, is that there are no major details revealed at the moment about her part other than that her role will impact the primary story.

Nicole is not mentioned by name in the synopsis for the episode, though this does make it sound like we will be seeing an hour that is in some ways Huck-centric, and it will feature for the first time someone other than Olivia really starting to raise some eyebrows about not only who Jake is, but if there is a specific person that he is working for:

“Secrets from Huck’s life before Pope and Associates are revealed, Olivia and Fitz engage in an emotionally charged conversation, unaware of the fact that someone could be watching, and Olivia’s team comes together to help one of their own. Meanwhile, Cyrus is becoming increasingly skeptical of Jake, and Mellie makes a decision that could bring down the White House.”

Doesn’t the last part of this synopsis sound familiar? Really, it makes you wonder just how many times that Mellie can really contemplate such a takeover on a grand level, as she has been down this road before more times than we can really count on the show.
