In the previous episode titled "The Fluffer," Olivia found herself surrounded by a number of enemies, but this didn't stop Liv from carrying out her plans. Nonetheless, what Olivia Pope failed to realize was that the 613 was actually tracking Momma Pope, who was apparently planning in planting a bomb to kill the president. This week, Scandal season 3 episode 17 titled "Flesh and Blood" is going to show us Adnan and Maya's next move, and Liv is not going to be pleased when she realizes that her main concern now is the bomb while Fitz's primary concern is his re-election campaign. This then leads to Fitz going against Olivia Pope's advice. Watch Scandal season 3 episode 17 stream using the free online stream link at the bottom.

Actor Tony Goldwyn recently opened up to Hollywood Reporter about his thoughts on the series thus far. "Shonda keeps building off of what she has done.

All boundaries are removed and truly anything can happen. None of us are safe," he said. "Major characters are certainly impacted in irreversible ways by this momentum that is building."
