Washington plays the role of the show's female lead character, Olivia Pope. Ms. Pope is D.C.'s top crisis manager, and she is arguably one of the most powerful people Washington.

During the premiere episode, Washington "live tweeted" with her fans as that watched as she struggled to find her way out of captivity.

This heart-racing episode was unlike any episode we've seen, and it's clear that Ms. Pope's fans or 'gladiators' aren't leaving her side until she's rescued from jail.

Washington visited Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about where Olivia is, and she said that she didn't have any big spoilers for the audience, but she did say let Kimmel know that Olivia wasn't hiding in the kitchen.

She admitted that she knows exactly who took her, but she wasn't willing to share, but the actress did say fans will have a little more insight into the situation after watching the premiere.
