ABC's Scandal will make its return next week with an all-new episode on April 18 and the latest news around the television hit has it bringing on for the following week guest star Jasika Nicole from Fringe.

Nicole will come aboard the series and likely play a role in Olivia (Kerry Washington) and Fitz's (Tony Goldwyn) lives, according to Carter Matt. However, the respective episode appears as though it will be revolving around Huck (Guillermo Diaz), as he becomes increasingly suspicious of just who Jake (Scott Foley) is and who he's in cahoots with.

The ABC network released an official synopsis for the future installment. Secrets from Huck's life before Pope and Associated will be revealed to viewers as Olivia and Fitz "engage in an emotionally charged conversation, unaware of the fact that someone could be watching." Olivia's team will also come together to help "one of their own" and meanwhile, Cyrus becomes increasingly skeptical of Jake as Mellie makes a decision "that could bring down the White House."

Scandal is set to air its next episode, titled A Woman Scorned, on Thursday, April 18 at 10 p.m. ET on ABC. Behind-the-scenes footage of season 2 can be viewed below.
