One of the actors of "Scandal" Season 6 said "I think that sends a chill through every spine in D.C. when that gets announced because Cyrus is such a monster and has the dirt on everyone and everyone knows that he's capable of anything. Mellie doesn't know when we leave the finale, but it will shatter her.
Mellie would be a little hubris about beating Vargas, but paired with Cyrus, all bets are off. It will really be bloodbath if we come back to an election in "Scandal" Season 6. For the fans and followers, the premiere episode is expected to in midseason 2017 on ABC.
