On Scandal, Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) defends the public images of the most powerful people in Washington but now it’s her own image that needs protecting. This season, the cast also includes Scott Foley, Tony Goldwyn, Darby Stanchfield, Katie Lowes, Guillermo Diaz, Cornelius Smith Jr., Jeff Perry, Portia de Rossi, Joshua Malina, and Bellamy Young.
