Ever since the Shondaland show came back from its midseason hiatus, things have gotten more violent and obscure in the life of Olivia Pope, with her being kidnapped and everyone from President Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn) to international drug lords wanting a piece of the action - so what does the "Scandal" season 4 episode 13 bring to the table?

In the wait for the "Scandal" season 4 episode 13 set to air tonight, it's time to recap what happened the last time America visited the Olivia Pope & Associates gladiators, all of whom are currently moving heaven and earth to get Liv (Kerry Washington) back - though some do so more violently than others.

As Melty recaps, the wait for the "Scandal" season 4 episode 13 has turned into a tense event due to the fact that, in the last minutes of last week's episode, the highest bidder of the secret auction was finally revealed: Iran, a longtime enemy of the United States, would gain access to a former White House employee - and, incidentally, also the President's mistress.

In the wait for the "Scandal" season 4 episode 13, the recap continues, the team of gladiators is doing everything they can to get Olivia back. Over the past episode, Huck, Jake and Quinn (Guillermo Diaz, Scott Foley and Katie Lowes respectively) joined forces with Olivia's mother Maya (Khandi Alexander), a known terrorist, to gain access to the secret bid for Olivia.

In their bid to secure a contact to save Olivia, they have to kill a group of thieves for a drug lord - but Huck takes it way too far, worrying Jake about his mental state and his violent tendencies, something that'll probably be dealt with as well in the "Scandal" season 4 episode 13.

Also, the Vice President (Jon Tenney) threatens to tell the world about his affair with Mellie (Bellamy Young) if they charge him with treason, for which Mellie ultimately begs Fitz to drop the charges, because she ultimately wants to be President.

As Ecumenical News reports, the promo for the episode, which is entitled "No More Blood," viewers are presented with the highest bidder, a woman that Olivia apparently knows.

As Latin Times reports, the new "Scandal" season 4 episode 13 will air on ABC at 9pm EST.
