Scandal: A Shocking and Wrongful Incident Season 5 Episode 8 Rasputin

Olivia Pope is back in action in Scandal season 5 episode 8 titled Rasputin. The episode begins with Olivia taking on a new case for a client who is being blackmailed by his ex-wife. However, this case quickly takes a backseat as Olivia's team begins to focus on a much bigger issue.

It turns out that Olivia's father, Rowan, has been working with a man named Peus to gain power and control over the White House. Peus is a mysterious figure who seems to have some sort of hold over Rowan, and he has been making demands of the President.

One of Peus' demands is that Mellie Grant be made the next President of the United States, rather than Fitz's chosen successor, Vargas. This puts Olivia and her team in a difficult position, as they are torn between their loyalty to Fitz and their desire to do what is best for the country.

As Olivia and her team begin to investigate Peus and Rowan's plan, things take a dangerous turn. They realize that Peus has been orchestrating a series of events that will allow him to take control of the country in a coup d'état.

With the clock ticking, Olivia works tirelessly to unravel the conspiracy and stop Peus before it's too late. She enlists the help of her closest allies and even turns to unlikely sources for assistance.

Meanwhile, Fitz is dealing with his own issues as he grapples with the knowledge that he may not have a legacy to leave behind. He also faces the prospect of losing the woman he loves as he navigates the murky waters of politics and the presidency.

As the episode comes to a close, viewers are left on the edge of their seats, wondering what will happen next. Will Olivia be able to stop Peus and save the country from chaos? Will Fitz be able to secure his legacy and keep Olivia by his side? Only time will tell in this high-stakes political drama.
