Ep 11. Where's the Black Lady?

Olivia Pope is back after her forced leave from Washington D.C., and this time she is getting ready for a challenging new client. The client is being held in isolation somewhere in the Middle East, under the custody of a terrorist group called the Islamic Front. The team at Pope & Associates must work together to find and rescue their client before it's too late.

Meanwhile, the White House is dealing with a new crisis of its own. The Vice President, Andrew Nichols, has suffered a heart attack, putting his position as second in line to the presidency in jeopardy. President Fitzgerald Grant must decide whether to appoint a new Vice President, but his decision is complicated by his complicated relationship with his wife, Mellie Grant.

As Olivia and her team work tirelessly to locate their missing client, they receive a cryptic message from an unknown source, urging them to "find the black lady." They are unsure of who this message is referring to, but Olivia is determined to get to the bottom of it.

Olivia's father, Rowan Pope, also returns to the picture and is determined to get his daughter back into the fold of the shadowy government organization, B613. He warns her that if she continues to meddle in affairs that don't concern her, she will face severe consequences.

As the episode unfolds, it becomes clear that the missing client is not who they initially thought she was. The team discovers a shocking revelation that changes everything they thought they knew about their mission.

The crisis in the White House takes a turn for the worse when it is revealed that Vice President Nichols' heart attack was not natural. Someone has tried to assassinate the Vice President, and the list of suspects is growing by the minute. President Grant must act fast to identify the culprit and prevent any further attempts on his administration.

In the end, the team at Pope & Associates uncovers the truth behind their client's identity and successfully rescues her from her captors. Olivia must also make a difficult decision about her father's offer to rejoin B613, knowing the danger it poses to her own life.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Olivia receives a phone call informing her of a tragedy that has occurred back in the United States. The stage is set for the next episode, as tensions rise and the scandalous plot thickens.
