'Scandal' Season 6 Episode 13: Fitz and Olivia Fight Over Rowan
Rowan (Joe Morton) will cause problems between recently reunited lovers Olivia (Kerry Washington) and Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) in the upcoming episode of "Scandal."
In the episode titled "The Box," the synopsis (according to CarterMatt) reveals that the couple will fight over Rowan. While Olivia wants her father to help them take down Peus (David Warshofsky) and Ruland's (Zoe Perry) organization, Fitz is convinced they are making a huge mistake. Rowan has been anything but innocent, orchestrating Frankie's (Ricardo Chavira) assassination to get what he wanted. Fitz believes Olivia's dad will end up double-crossing them as well.
The promo shows that Peus will threaten Fitz's administration with bombings, nine to be exact. All they have to do to stop the carnage is to release Mellie (Bellamy Young), whom they have been protecting. Peus and Ruland know they cannot take over the White House without their "Trojan horse." They need Mellie so the public will acknowledge the change of power in the American government. When Fitz and Olivia receive Peus' threat, the POTUS immediately accuses Rowan of helping the enemy.
