Scandal Season 6: What to Expect From The Gladiators

The election is coming this fall on Scandal season 6.

Whether Liv is by his side or not, I cant imagine Fitz anywhere other than Vermont.

Mellie Grant

The Republican candidate was finally chosen and Mellie triumphed.

Plus, this is what she has always wanted.

Getting Fitz to the White House was phase one and now Mellie is ready for her phase two.

So, who could throw a hitch in her plan?

Marcus Walker spent season 5 trying to prove himself to the gladiators.

We saw it last season and we are finally seeing it again as he became Mellies voice of encouragement.

But are Mellie and Marcus something more?

In the episode before the finale, we saw an almost kiss between Mellie and Marcus.

There is no way this new storyline will be dropped and is sure to cause some drama.

But, who cant admit that the Marcus/Mellie storyline has been one weve wanted to happen for a while.

Finally, a couple on the show we dont loathe.

Should we start shipping Marlie?

But, I think what Jake wanted most was to be with Liv.

I thought at that moment, Jake would just leave.

Next season, we will see Jake for the first time truly without Rowans control.

Will Jake completely reform?

Just walk into the sun with him and call it good!

Rowan plotted for the entire season to get control of the White House using Jake as his pawn.

So that was that!

Papa Pope finally lost.

All of this plans failed…

Or, did they?

So unfortunately, this probably means Rowan will be back next season.

The man never changes.

Maybe it was his plan all along to become Frankies VP choice.

At first I thought, Vargas actually is a decent human being.

Maybe Cyrus really does care about the people, finally.

Fitz was never really going to let Cy back into the White House, not completely.

So of course, he found another way.

Now, Frankie seems like a smart man.

But, how smart can he be to believe everything out of Cyrus mouth?

But the thing I think mostScandalfans are awaiting for is the battle between Cyrus and Olivia.

We have always known Liv likes to be on top; to be the best at what she does.

Now Cyrus and Olivia arent just opponents, they are enemies.

I think the start of next season we will see more development of her power lust.

But, I think we will see more people start to question her motives.

Some of her gladiators, her friends… may just have to leave Olivia behind once and for all.

What will Olivia do without people beside her to hold her up?

Let the race begin!
