In the upcoming episode of Scandal, titled Everything's Coming Up Mellie, Olivia Pope will become her own client.
In the short preview video, the voiceover announces: "The deeper Olivia Pope digs, the more dirty...the more deadly her world becomes."
Pope asks her employees to investigate the plane that was shot down and led to the death of over 300 passengers, including her mother, when she was twelve.

During last week's episode Olivia learned from Jake and her employee Huck, that the secret Remington file contained information regarding the plane crash.

Fitz then says, "I did what needed to be done."
