"Scandal" is about to get sensational as upcoming events indicate a lot of challenges in store for the gladiators. Titled "Honor Thy Father", Olivia will help a congressman as David Rosen strengthens has case against B613.

The episode's synopsis, as per CaterMatt, states that a congressman will ask for Olivia's help. His father is on death row, and close to his execution date so the congressman desperately seeks Olivia's help. The gladiators have quite a challenge on their hands this episode.

But Pope won't be the only one springing into action. David Rosen tries to strengthen his case against B613 by hiring former agents. However, the most interesting part of the episode won't be the congressman's story or David's, it will be Jake Ballard. KDrama Stars notes that Jake will transform from the man of Pope's dreams to her worst nightmare.

The episode's promotional video teases that Jake will show his true colors in the upcoming episode. He is seen threatening anyone who comes after him or stops him, including Olivia Pope. Jake has not taken the center stage in recent episodes so far, so fans will get ample screen time with him. The promotional video describes Jake-centric episode as "crazy, twisty and insane".

Viewers may also get hints as to the endgame of B613. CaterMatt also speculates that a character's death is imminent in season four, stating that it could either be Jake or Rosen. Additionally, the mystery surrounding B613 is sure to thicken in the upcoming episode.

"Honor They Father" will also see guest stars Portia de Rossi and George Newber along with series regulars Kerry Washington, Scott Foley, Darby Stanchfield, Tony Goldwyn and many more.
