Next week's episode of Scandal will feature a slew of guest stars, including Friends alum Lisa Kudrow.

Kudrow will play a Democratic Congresswoman in the new episode titled, Say Hello to My Little Friend. Patrick Fabian (Castle, Criminal Minds, Desperate Housewives) will also appear as scandalous Senator Richard Meyers and Melora Hardin (The Office, Mon, CS: Miami) will play his wife Shelley Meyers.

ABC's synopsis about episode 4 reads: "With Pope & Associates still struggling to find clients, the team decides to take on a philandering senator who enjoys taking photos of his not so public areas. Meanwhile, Mellie gets involved in her own scandal with Democratic Congresswoman Josephine Marcus (Lisa Kudrow)."

In the short sneak peek below, Abby (Darby Stanchfield) announces that Senator Meyer is a "sexting pervy perv."

In the clip, Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) and her gladiators discuss the senator's legal troubles surrounding the death of a mystery blonde. He is accused of murdering her.

"She tried to blackmail the senator, she got murdered," Harrison (Columbus Short) says in the clip. 

"His prints are all over her body," Quinn (Katie Lowes) announces.

The episode will also star Patrick St. Espirit as Peter Foster, Michael B. Silver as Gavin Mitchell, Stoney Westmoreland as Hal Rimbeau, Brian Letscher as Tom, Peter Holden as William Granville and Joe Morton as Rowan. 

The script for episode 4 may have been inspired by the real-life story of New York City's disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner.

In July, The Dirty.com reported that Weiner, the married father-of-one who resigned from Congress in 2011 amid a Twitter sexting scandal, continued an explicit relationship after he stepped down. Sydney Leathers, his sexting partner, shared their exchanges as he was preparing to run for New York City Mayor.

The new episode of Scandal will premiere at 10 p.m. EST on ABC.
