Scandal Season 4 Episode 18: Is Jake Ballard Trying To KILL Olivia Pope? [VIDEOS]

The latest season of the show led by Kerry Washington has created some of the thrilling plot points, particularly after the midseason finale's kidnapping of her character Olivia Pope; now, the "Scandal" season 4 episode 18 shows a brand new side of one of the main characters, as Jake Ballard (Scott Foley) threatens to kill Olivia, with whom she has an on-again off-again romance.

The "Scandal" season 4 episode 18 delves deeper into the issues created by Olivia's kidnapping, as it's become obvious that she's suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from the events; now, the cast of Tony Goldwyn, Bellamy Young, Darby Stanchfield, Katie Lowes, Guillermo Diaz, Jeff Perry, and Joshua Malina take on a new challenge.

According to Christian Today, the "Scandal" season 4 episode 18 sees the return of Rowan (Joe Morton), Olivia's father and the former head of secretive government killers' association B613, and the episode takes the name "Honor Thy Father."

In the past, Rowan has become a dangerous figure to Olivia and the entire country, even having the President's son murdered right before elections, effectively winning Fitz the spot at the Oval Office for the second time.

Melty.com reports that, following Cyrus Beene's recent marriage last week, the "Scandal" season 4 episode 18 is now back to business, as David Rosen's case against B613 takes shape; of course, this'll keep Rowan, a firm believer in the cause behind the organization, on his toes, as he makes a comeback to threaten anyone who'll try to expose it - and it seems the whole thing makes Jake a little bit crazy.

ABC's website shows that there are other surprises in store in the "Scandal" season 4 episode 18 - like Harmony, Mellie's sister, played by Lauren Bowles, and the follow-up of that steamy one-night stand Olivia had at the end of last week's episode.
