The same week another network had a mother of a reveal, ABC's Scandal shocked viewers with a patriarchal reveal no one saw coming. Fine, some fan sites may have suspected, but the final line of the Season 2 finale was such a surprising twist, not even members of the cast knew about it in advance - except one. During Thursday's "An Evening with Scandal" event at The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, the cast shared that no one knew the truth about Rowan's identity until the actual table read for the finale except for Morton, who was clued in from the beginning - something that became hilarious to Washington after the fact. Having him be the leader of a CIA Black Ops division that tortures and kills people was an entirely different direction Rhimes didn't consider until later. When Scandal was picked up for an additional nine episodes this season, Rhimes thought it was the perfect window of opportunity to finally meet Olivia's father, whose connection to B613 and what that means for how Huck (Guillermo Diaz) was able to defect without retaliation is likely on the table for discussion next year. Viewers won't have to wait long to find out what dear old dad is really like since the writers are discussing not doing a time jump in the Season 3 premiere. Defending her decision to break up Olitz once again, Rhimes reveals that they actually shot an additional scene that was cut from the episode in which Olivia and Fitz ended up in bed together again, showing that they were going to carry on their secret relationship.
