Scandal Season 4 Spoilers: Fitz and Andrew Clash Over Olivia Pope

ABC's Scandal returns with new episodes for Season 4 later this month, so we'll soon find out who has kidnapped Olivia Pope. We'll also see a clash between Fitz and his vice president, according to some new spoilers.

The following comes from the "Matt's Inside Line" column at TVLine.

"Do you have any Scandal or How to Get Away With Murder scoop for us? = Colleen

Scandal's Jon Tenney told me that POTUS won't take kindly to his veep's 'ballsy' move against Olivia ('You don't mess with Fitz's lady!'), while Andrew cheating on Mellie with LizzieBear will be dealt with as well ('There's a lot to be explored there, which I think people will enjoy')."

The midseason finale revealed that Olivia Pope had been kidnapped. Star Darby Stanchfield told TVLine that her friends "address it head on" and the show picks up right where it left off several weeks ago.

Katie Lowes adds that Quinn will take initiative to get her boss back. "As you've seen in the first half of this season, Quinn has taken a step up as far as running things at OPA," Lowes said, "so when Olivia goes missing, you can assume that she is going to put all her effort into the case."

Stanchfield said Abby, now a White House press secretary, "has a bit of a gladiating moment. She gets to dabble in the OPA world. It was fun for me and it's going to be fun for the fans."

But perhaps most interesting of all is the tease of a major twist for longtime fans, as in, those who have been watching from the first episode.

There is the most freakin' hugest surprise that happens in the next four episodes that the original Gladiators are going to freak out over," Stanchfield said. "The only clue I can give you is that the fans of the first season are going to lose theirminds."

Lowes said the twist "was as surprising to me as that 'Dad?' moment at the end of Season 2," in reference to the final scene of the second season in which we learned that Command of B613 was Olivia's father, Rowan. "That's how big of a shocker you guys have coming."

"It's a real surprise for the original Gladiators, the people who have been here since the beginning," she continued. "It's a real OG situation."
