Scandal Season 4 Midseason Finale Spoilers - Maya Pope Strikes Again in Episode 9!

Scandal Season 4 spoilers for the midseason finale, episode 9 promise viewers that Olivia’s mother, Maya Pope, will return with a vengeance. The end of Scandal Season 3 saw some major changes in Washington D.C., not least of which is Rowan Pope’s [Joe Morton] decision to keep his wife, Maya Pope [Khandi Alexander], alive. At this point, Maya is already an international terrorist who has attempted to kill the president, and did manage to kill multiple people in a church bombing – not to mention being directly responsible for getting a commercial flight shot down years ago. However, Scandal’s mid-season finale is set to bring back Maya Pope, and according to spoilers, they’re going to do it with a bang.

The mid-season finale, titled ‘Where The Sun Don’t Shine’, will feature the [not so] triumphant return of Maya Pope, who was taking up residence in Command’s infamous hole last we saw her. We should remember – as bad as Command/Papa Pope actually is, he’s got nothing on Maya Pope, who is literally the definition of loose cannon. In fact, the only person in the world she loves is her daughter, Olivia, which clearly represents a conflict of interest for her. In fact, it’s one of the reasons that she tried so hard to kill the President during Season 4, so Olivia could be ‘free’. Unfortunately, she was instead blamed for killing the President’s son, which we all know was actually Rowan’s call. Now, the President, Jake, and Olivia all know the truth, after Olivia skillfully manipulates Tom into confessing. However, it’ll be interesting to see how they play with this information, not to mention where Maya actually comes in.

What do you guys think? Will this be the last we see of Khandi Alexander’s Maya Pope? It’s been a while since a crazy death in the Scandal universe, so perhaps it’s time… And Maya’s death would certainly serve a purpose in tying up the whole ridiculous B613 plot line.
