#Scandal Promotes Portia de Rossi to Series Regular for Season 5 http://t.co/SzLGJoXga8 @ScandalABC
— Hollywood Reporter (@THR) May 15, 2015Mellie has sacrificed her soul — and marriage — for her Senate seat —
But I don't think she knew was doing either of those things, especially because Fitz was so for her and with her. It was so sweet these last few episodes, because, although she might not have his heart, she had his partnership and that was enough for her. She's really like, a "four crumbs and I'm good" kind of girl when it comes to Fitz. So for him to turn so swiftly and kick her out was an absolute kick in the gut. I don't think she saw it coming in any way, shape or form and I don't think she realized she was risking anything. She just thought it was finally her turn.
Looking back, does Mellie think it was worth it? She has the blood of 16 people on her hands, lost her marriage and her place at the White House.
In the moment where we see her walk out of the White House, I think there is a significant turn of a real paralysis and shock. The enormous cost is so overwhelming. I don't know how she'll go forward — especially because not that long ago, she couldn't even get dressed or act right because she was still mourning Jerry. So all this new, fresh ugliness, I genuinely don't know how Mellie will cope.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Has Rowan really been beaten or is he already planning his next move now that he’s behind bars?
JOE MORTON: Rowan is always planning his next move. He’s probably frustrated at the moment. In my mind, it feels like something he can slip out of fairly easily. I know they’re accusing him of extortion, but given everything else that he’s done, it seems like something he should be able to slip out of it. Now I say that, but the other side of the coin is that he’s spent all kinds of time, energy and money to protect Rowan, but maybe not time and effort to protect Eli. It comes to him, “Oh, I may have messed up here. I didn’t spend time to protect this particular chess piece.”
