‘Scandal’ Season 4, Episode 20: ‘First Lady Sings the Blues’

680.16x9

Scandal season 4, episode 20 airs tonight on ABC.

Cyrus must defend Mellie to the American people, who have turned against her. Meanwhile, those taking down B613 get into a precarious situation and must go to great lengths to safeguard themselves.

Everyone has a secret, and Olivia Pope has dedicated her life to protecting and defending the public images of the nation’s elite and keeping those secrets under wraps. Revered and feared at the same time, Olivia, a former communications director to the president of the United States, left the White House to open her own prominent crisis management firm. She is hoping to start a new chapter in her life — both professionally and personally — but she can’t seem to completely cut ties with her past. Slowly, it becomes apparent that her dysfunctional staff, who specializes in fixing other people’s lives, can’t quite fix the ones closest at hand – their own.

Olivia’s former boss, President Fitzgerald Grant, and his chief of staff, Cyrus Beene, are never far from her beat. Her clients aren’t the only ones with secrets, though; surprisingly, she may need to exercise all her damage control skills on her own behalf.

Scandal season 4, episode 20 airs April 23 at 9 p.m. EDT on ABC.
