Major Spoiler Alert: This story contains many details of Thursday’s season finale episode of ABC’s Scandal. ABC’s D.C. drama, created by Shonda Rhimes, has grabbed big ratings over three seasons with a potent mix of wild plot twists and savvy use of social media. In another signature Shonda shocker, Washington fixer Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) tonight watched Potus Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn) become a virtual certainty to lose his re-election bid when a bomb intended for him goes off at the funeral of a U.S. senator who’d been assassinated by Olivia’s terrorist mom Maya Lewis (Khandi Alexander) in order to get Grant at the funeral, only Potus isn’t there. But his chief presidential-race rival — and Vpotus – Sally Langston (Kate Burton) was there, and survived, and becomes simultaneous ministering angel and Irony Lady at the scene of the blast.

Well, it was bound to happen: Olivia Pope's ghost of a mother has found her.
After last week's horrifying trip into Mellie Grant's past, the Thursday (Nov. 21) episode of "Scandal" snapped its focus back onto She Who Wears the White Hat, Kerry Washington. And, as in most weeks, Liv was put through the ringer.
Not only did she lose a client (So long, Lisa Kudrow! We barely knew you!), but she regained her forbidden love and a zombie of a mom. First, the love. While Liv was busy at work with Opa to track down that person missing from the flight Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) down way back when, he continues to call her, now that he knows her dad is Rowan/Eli/the boogeyman (Joe Morton). She tells him to leave her alone, she smashes her Fitz phone, but, like Jake (Scott Foley) sadly says, she knows it won't stop him.

A single episode of Scandal has more mysteries than the entirety of Lost and Twin Peaks combined, and in last week's still-buzzed-about episode, Everything's Coming Up Mellie, we got a massive answer to one of the year's biggest questions: Is Olivia's mother alive? (Spoiler Alert: Yes!)
And now that we know actress Khandi Alexander will be playing Maya Lewis in the show's present day timeline, ETonline caught up with the actress to talk about the incredibly secretive casting process, what she's excited for audiences to see in this week's episode, titled Vermont is for Lovers, Too, and what it's -- maybe -- like to work with Kerry Washington!
ETonline: Not to use a bad pun, but your casting on this show was like the mother of all secrets – what was the casting process like?
Khandi Alexander: Mark Wilding, the executive producer, called me and he said, "I can't tell you anything about her, but you are...

When "Scandal" first premiered, Mellie Grant, as played by Bellamy Young, was nothing more than a Machiavellian Lady MacBeth -- the cold, villainous obstacle standing between our hero Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) and the love of her life, President Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn). But as the series has progressed, and as Thursday's (Nov. 14) episode made abundantly clear, Mellie has morphed into the tragic center of the hit ABC show; a woman who, if you're not rooting for yet, you ought to be.
Viewers have always had an idea of the sacrifices Mellie has made in her life so that Fitz could become, remain and succeed as President of the United States. We've heard about how she gave up her career as a lawyer, watched as she stood by a man who threw his love for another in her face; but it wasn't until tonight's episode that the series seemed to...

Scandal is about as crazy as any show from Shonda Rhimes gets, but it’s going to get a little crazier before it goes on winter break. Olivia Pope’s (Kerry Washington) life is going to take a tale spin in upcoming episodes as we get to know her mother. However, it won’t be happy times for Olivia since, if you’ve been keeping up with the show, her mother died recently. But that won’t stop Scandal from exploring their relationship and an actress has been cast in the part. It’s not going to be easy for Olivia, but it’s necessary to dig into the past as the show’s present gets beyond nuts.
Playing Maya Lewis, Olivia’s departed mother, is Treme’s Khandi Alexander. THR reported she would be recurring, beginning with Thursday’s episode. She’ll be seen in flashbacks since Huck and...

Plus, the battle for the White House takes a weirdly sexy turn.
“I have so many questions to ask you, but I’m afraid you’ll kill my friends if I do.” Olivia (Kerry Washington) took father-daughter chats to a disturbing place on the Nov. 7 episode of Scandal, as the red-wine aficionado turned to Rowan (Joe Morton) for answers on “Project: Remington.”
Jake (Scott Foley) did his own investigating, but things took a nasty turn when he was almost killed by a double-crossing informant. Thankfully, and totally unbeknownst to Jake, Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) put a security detail on him, which narrowly saved him from his back-alley encounter. I, for one, am thrilled Jake lived to see another gratuitous workout scene — I mean, live to see another day. Yeah, that’s what I meant.
Of course, none of this compared to the episode-ending confrontation between Liv and Fitz, in which she...

Prepare to meet the mother of all Gladiators. E! News confirms that Treme star Khandi Alexander has been cast as Olivia Pope's (Kerry Washington) late mother Maya Lewis. The actress, who will appear in multiple episodes throughout the third season, will first appear via flashback in this week's all-new episode, "Icarus." As of now, Scandal fans know very little about Oliva's mother. However, we do know that she helped shaped Olivia into the strong, fiery, and successful woman that she is today. Last week our fixer made a rare reference to Maya, when she mentioned that it was her mother who always taught her to speak her mind. A statement that Rowan (Joe Morton), her super-shady father, was less...

Get ready for the mother of all flashbacks, "Scandal" fans.
After revealing that Olivia Pope's (Kerry Washington) mom was aboard the shot-down civilian airliner at the center Operation Remington, it's been announced that "Treme" star Khandi Alexander has been cast as the deceased matriarch.
Alexander will recur as Maya Lewis, beginning in flashbacks in Thursday's (Nov. 7) episode, THR reports. Not only was it revealed during last week's episode that Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) was the one who shot down Maya's plane off the coast of Iceland, but he did so under orders from Olivia's diabolical father -- Maya's husband -- Rowan (Joe Morton).
Goldwyn tells THR that Olivia's mother becomes a "major issue" in the white-hatted fixer's life.
"You can only imagine what that would be like to find out that your mother did not die in the way that you thought she died, in terms of it being a willful act.

She's not the name that some of you have expressed interest in seeing play Olivia Pope's mother on Scandal (that honor goes to Angela Bassett), but Khandi Alexander will assume that role for at least one episode of the hit ABC drama, starting this Thursday. The veteran award-winning actress/choreographer/dancer is known for her long running roles on Treme, CSI: Miami, Newsradio, and ER, as well as for her compelling work on HBO's The Corner, and in films like CB4, Menace II Society, Poetic Justice, and Sugar Hill. Her Scandal character's name will be Maya Lewis. It'll be a recurring role. Should we expect fireworks? Scandal, created by Shonda Rhimes, starring Kerry...

Scandal has at long last cast the role of Olivia Pope's mother: Khandi Alexander, most recently of Treme, will play Maya Lewis, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Alexander played Alexx Woods on CSI: Miami for seven years, recurred as Dr. Benton's sister Jackie on ER, and played Catherine on NewsRadio for four seasons. She'll make her first appearance on Scandal this week — in flashbacks, since her character is dead. At least we all think she is, but this is Scandal. There could be a twist or five.

Welcome to another episode of ‘Scandal’ where political manoeuvres and dangerous liaisons are the show’s bread and butter. Let’s see what happened this week, shall we?
Olivia and her dad Rowan are having possibly the awkward, most stilted conversation between a father and daughter, Liv vocally admitting that she’s just being silent to get through the dinner so that Rowan won’t start performing more power plays against his outspoken daughter and be more like her outspoken mother. Rowan disagrees. At the same time, Jake and Huck are breaking into Rowan’s home, the man himself entering just as Jake sneaks out with all of Rowan’s files on a memory stick. Nice job, boys!
At the White House, Mellie and Cyrus are trying to charm Leo Bergen in order to get him to run the re-election campaign for Fitz. Bergen is brutally honest about Fitz’s chances,...

No.
No, no, no.
What Huck (Guillermo Diaz) and Jake (Scott Foley) uncovered about Operation Remington on Thursday's (Oct. 31) episode of "Scandal" can't be true, can it? This is all a Halloween trick, right? Because there's no way that Olivia (Kerry Washington) will be able to handle this betrayal.
Alright, so, let's just get it out in the open. Huck and Jake, the B613 Brothers, spent the episode trying to piece together just what Operation Remington was with all the spy tactics only two shadow government operatives would possess. And what do they discover? The day of Remington, Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) wasn't in Iran. He was in Iceland. The same day a Boeing 747 went down -- a 747 with Maya Lewis on its passenger list. Who's Maya Lewis, you ask? A woman who never took her husband's name. What's her husband's name, you demand? Pope.
That's right. It's looking like Fitz...
