1. Daddy Is Back—And Sticking Around! Remember how Olivia's (Kerry Washington) father shocked us all with his appearance in the second season finale, in that big ol' whopper of a cliffhanger? Well, according to creator and showrunner Shonda Rimes, season three picks up "exactly 22 minutes later" from where we last left off, and according to Bellamy Young (the first lady), what happens next does not disappoint. "That first episode back picks up right after Dad and it comes out of the barrel like a bullet," she teases. "We learn so much about this one here [motions to Kerry Washington] with the dad thing." Rimes reveals to us that Olivia's father will be a "major story arc" that lasts for at least the first half of the season. And while she agrees that the Daddy cliffhanger is very much what sets up all of season three, it does so "In an odd, peripheral way. In the same way that at the end of season one, the question of who is Quinn Perkins set up season two. It turned out that Quinn Perkins is this girl whose building blew up went to we fixed an entire presidential election."
2. Scott Foley (Jake) Gets Out of the Hole! Remember how Scott Foley's character Jake was tossed in that devastating hole of torture where Huck (Guillermo Diaz) nearly lost his mind? Well, it sure sounds like he gets out. (Cue the Gladiating angels.) When we thanked Shonda on behalf of Noel Cr…er, Scott Foley fans everywhere for making him a series regular in season three, she said: "I would not have been able to put [Scott] in the hole if I had known he weren't going to get out of the hole! It's exciting to have Scott join us because he fits right in, emotionally and personally with everybody. But also story wise, we have a very clear sense of what we want to do with that character." When asked if Jake (who served as one-third of a love triangle with Olivia and Fitz last season) will have any kind of romantic involvement with anyone this year, Shonda shrugged and said "Maybe." Hmph! Maybe they just haven't found the right new love interest for him yet. Any volunteers?
3. Scott Foley Spoils Everything! Just kidding. But he is hilarious. And looks nice with a (hole-grown?) beard. When asked if he gets out of the pit of despair, Scott fumbles a bit, looks for his talking points that were emailed to him, and then says that sadly there is nothing there about Jake. "I can tell you about Olivia Pope, her father, more about her background, her relationship with her father. Huck. I can tell you about Huck. I can tell you about David. I can tell you we're going to learn more about B613." But nada about Jake. Scott also teases that his reaction to the first script was: "Oh my god they're there? Oh my god, what are they doing together? You won't believe who's working with who. Or who's colluding with who. It's very secretive but exciting."
