The promo shows Vanessa insulting Olivia and viewers can tell the exact moment the latter lost her composure. She grabs Vanessa by the collar and pushes her to the wall. Olivia then orders Vanessa to continue talking. The whole scenario suggests that they will claw each other's eyes soon if someone will not come to separate them. Vanessa does not seem to care that other people will see her disheveled and unlike her cool, collected self. She certainly looks done playing the part of Jake's loyal wife. What will Olivia do to salvage Jake's political career?
Meanwhile, new evidence will surface regarding Frankie's (Ricardo Chavira) assassination. Last episode, Cyrus (Jeff Perry) confirmed that his lover, Tom (Brian Letscher), never touched Frankie. He also almost convinced Olivia that he was not the killer.
Although she hates Cyrus, Olivia could see that he was telling the truth. The fixer is expected to dig deeper into the matter. If Cyrus is not the culprit, it means that the killer is still at large and may pounce again anytime. Who will be the next target?
"Scandal" season 6 episode 5 will air Thursday, March 9, at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.
