When last we saw Olitz, it was clear they meant to be together, come what may. On Scandal Season 5 Episode 1, at least half of the scandalous couple will attempt to take things to the next level.

That's right. Fitz is dropping the D Word on Mellie Grant.

That can only go two ways, and only one of those will make for drama. There's just no way Mellie's taking this easily, you guys. It's not like Shonda could've made it easy for Fitz and Olivia to be together, you know?

Along the way, everyone will be dealing with the fallout from helping Command, and Olivia will get back to business, starting with a tragedy when the Queen of Caldonia visits. OPA will be tasked with keeping the Royal family's skeletons tucked safely away inside the closet.

5. Long Live the Queen - Scandal Season 5 Episode 1

Scandal Season 5 Episode 1 Quotes

[To Mellie] You don't matter to me. And now you also don't matter to the most powerful man on the face of the Earth.

Liz

[to Mellie] First, let's be clear. You did not do anything for me. You did that for you. You only ever do anything for your own benefit. Second, you didn't take me in. I was your prisoner. I was your puppet. I was your bitch. Third, my payment was that I got you elected. You are sitting in that chair, in this office, a United States Senator, because of me. That is how I repaid you. Fourth, one can only be betrayed if there is loyalty first. I was never loyal to you and you were never loyal to me. I don't think you've ever been loyal to anyone.

Liz
