The news outlet teased that it is possible that Bassett will be heading behind the camera to direct an episode of Scandal next season. This would not be a stretch. Shonda Rhimes brought in Denzel Washington to direct an episode of Grey’s Anatomy earlier this season. Bassett has been involved more in television since her arrival on American Horror Story.

Bassett directing an episode? Why not? If she put as much action being this crew as she does in her own acting repertoire…who knows? She might have Olivia kickboxing and Quinn doing more Xena princess warrior out takes. You have no creative limits.
