'Scandal' Mid Season Premiere Recap

On Monday, TV Fanatic shared some teaser photos from Thursday night's new episode, and it looks like de Rossi's character may have something to do with Olivia Pope's disappearance.

Let's not forget, during the winter finale, viewers learned that Vice President Andrew Nichols was behind Liv's kidnapping, and before that, fans learned that Lizzy Bear was having an affair with the Vice President.

In newly released photos, it appears as if North went to visit the gladiators at Liv's office, and she also had a special visit with First Lady Mellie Grant, but why? Was she there to help get answers behind Liv's disappearance, or was she there to torment Quinn and Huck?
