Mellie will continue on her path to revenge against Olivia and Fitz, who themselves will stumble on the answer to all their problems, according to the latest spoilers for episode 6 of "Scandal" season 5.

The last time, Mellie realized that the public opinion is swaying in favor of Olivia and Fitz after the two went public with their relationship. And now, she is suffering from the repercussions of his husband and the Gladiator as the press is turning against her.

And there's another wrinkle that she would have to deal with as Cyrus is coming back to team Fitz and abandoning her, which would make her revenge all that much sweeter. Cyrus, in fact, is proposing that Fitz and Liv should get married to make their relationship official and bring the public to their side.

The synopsis of episode 6 for "Scandal" season 5 teased some spoilers as it reads, "Fitz and Olivia will get presented with a shocking plan that might just make all of their troubles go away, and Mellie will get put through the ringer when confronted about her troubled marriage.
