TV show description:
Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) has dedicated her life to protecting and defending the public images of the nation’s elite. That means keeping their biggest secrets private. Both revered and feared at the same time, she’s a former communications director to the President of the United States.
She left the White House to open her own prominent crisis management firm. A mesmerizing top crisis manager, Olivia 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 specialize in fixing other people’s lives, can’t quite fix the ones closest at hand — their own.
Olivia’s accomplished staff will follow her anywhere and do whatever it takes to save someone’s reputation. Stephen Finch (Henry Ian Cusick) has dated his share of women but is trying to settle down and finally have a family. Harrison Wright (Columbus Short) is a smooth and slick litigator. Huck (Guillermo Diaz) is a hacker extraordinaire with a CIA history. Firm investigator Abby Whelan (Darby Stanchfield) has an enduring crush on Stephen. And Quinn Perkins (Katie Lowes) is the new young lawyer in the office who’s in awe of Olivia and is initiated in a trial by fire on her very first day on the job.
Olivia’s former boss, President Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn), and his chief of staff Cyrus Beene (Jeff Perry) are never far from her beat. Olivia’s clients aren’t the only ones with secrets however and some of the biggest ones hit very close to home.
Episode #124 — Over a Cliff
With the existence of B613 exposed to the world, Olivia and her Gladiators make the ultimate sacrifice in order to take down Cyrus and Jake — but how far will they go to get justice?
First aired: April 19, 2018.
What do you think? Do you like the Scandal TV show? Do you think it should have ended with season seven?

Scandal was a great ride! I’m glad it was announced it would end rather than an abrupt cancel. I’ll miss it, but the wrap was satisfying.
Man, this show is really missed. I wish it had a couple more seasons on Netflix with Shonda Rhimes move. Total bummer. Thursday night tv is weak now.
Scandal has been one of my favorite TV shows since the pilot. It’s way too graphic in the violence for me, so I skip over the gory parts or close my eyes. Other than that, I’ve been riveted to every episode. I agree that it’s time to wrap it up though. It’s gone astray from its beginnings, which is OK, but it’s time to end it. I hope the end ties it all up in a nice satisfactory package for everyone…
I will miss the show. Really love the actors
I’ll be disappointed if Scandal ends at season #7. I vote to keep it going please Rhonda Rhimes
This really sucks. I have my dvr set on this so I don’t miss a show. So sad to see it end.
Doretha D Barbour, the shows u should cancel u don’t
and the shows that the public love to watch u take off,
What’s up with that, this is s great show , so bring it back on and take some of the other garbage shows take those off like 90 day fiancé .
I am partially glad this show is ending. I don’t care much for one of the main characters. She yells to much at people. Maybe change the actor and it would be better.
I really love Scandal, why does it have to end? We all love to watch this show…. PLEASE DON’T END IT………. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE..
Love the show and whilst I don’t want it to end next season, the fact that we do have a known ending it sight will make it even more watchable.
Perhaps there is scope for a spin off that centres more around the original Pope team and their unique abilities that could carry plots more far and wide than the Whitehouse.
Please please continue
Keep scandal I watch it every single time it is on scandal , how to get away with murder , The Catch and gray’s anatomy don’t cut them you are crazy if u do !
I agree with the comments. Show has taken a dive on ratings and its because of all the flashbacks and prequels. End them already. fix it or cancel it.
Tonight’s episode sucked. Knock it off with flashbacks and prequels. Nice cliffhanger last week with shooting Huck. Not even mentioned this week. This whole Abby thing all of a sudden sucks too. If this is the best you can come up with…CANCEL IT.
Can we please get back to the Love between Fitz and Olivia Pope. When they fell apart. I stopped watching. Why Shonda, Why?
