Olivia Pope is safe. Stephen Finch is in St. Petersburg. And poor, poor Andrew had a Huck-induced stroke. The latter plot point will factor prominently on Scandal Season 4 Episode 14.

Now that Andrew is no longer fit to be the Vice President, there's a vacancy in the White House. 

Take a look at "The Lawn Chair" photos and read on below for some of our thoughts about what's coming on Scandal Season 4.

With Andrew out of the way, we're predicting Fitz looks toward Mellie to fill the office of VP. Mellie has aspirations of becoming President, so what better way to get her feet wet than to make her second in command?

Plus, despite all of their differences, arguments, and all out wars, Mellie is still in the inner circle. At least Fitz doesn't have to worry about Mellie kidnapping Olivia to get what she wants, right?

Speaking of Olivia, she's absent from the above photos, probably because she's trying to get a grip on all that she's been through. Plus, she broke up with Fitz when he went to war to try and save her and didn't save her but did end up sending soldiers to their deaths.

To say Olitz is not in a good place right now is sort of the definition of understatement. We'll see how long it lasts when the series returns on March 5th. Until then, remember you can watch Scandal online right here.
