The latest "Scandal" Season 6 spoilers for episode 12 reveal that there is a looming threat to the White House occupants. Theodore Peus (David Warshofsky) is flexing his muscles as he ascends to power. The upcoming episode will see him threatening Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) if she doesn't acquiesce to what he wants.
Peus Wants To Get Control Of The White House
According to the synopsis of "Scandal" Season 6 Episode 12, Peus is raring to take over the control of the White House. He assumes that with the help of President-Elect Mellie Grant (Bellamy Young), he will be able to bring down Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn) together with his supporters. He has his eyes set on Olivia. However, some spoilers say Peus will have a fight on his hands as Olivia and Fitz are back in each other's arms.
But Olivia Will Form A Team To Fight Him
In her bid to arrest the growing powers of Peus, some spoilers of "Scandal" Season 6 episode 12 indicate that Olivia will enlist the help of Fitz, Mellie and Chief of Staff Abby Whelan (Darby Stanchfield) to stop Peus from taking over the White House. Apparently, Peus is wrong in his assumption that he can use President-elect Mellie Grant to achieve his purpose.
Olivia Will Ask The Help Of Rowan
Other spoilers of "Scandal" Season 6 episode 12 also indicate that Olivia will try to ask the help of her father, Rowan Pope (Joe Morton). She knows about the capability of her father in solving this kind of problem. However, Morton, as teased by the trailer, will refuse to cooperate with Olivia and her team.
Rowan's Life Will Be In Danger
There are also some "Scandal" Season 6 episode 12 spoilers suggesting that Olivia will be forced to ask Rowan's help because of the confrontation that will happen between Fitz and Marjorie Ruland (Zoe Perry), an ally of Peus. In that verbal skirmish, Ruland threatened Fritz that he is about to lose his powers as POTUS. In some scenes of the trailer, Rowan is seen being attacked by someone. There are other leaks saying he is not the only one in danger.
