The first half of the season focuses on Jake's arrest for the death of Jerry Grant after Rowan forces Tom to name Jake as the operator. Rowan continues to try to make everyone believe Jake is guilty, which inspires Olivia to find out the truth for herself.

The season also focuses on how Olivia Pope & Associates has been closed, which has led Abby, Huck, and Quinn to seek alternative employment.

Huck is working at an electronic shop and is refusing to come back to the firm, but he eventually does.

The case takes an unexpected twist when Quinn discovers that the killer of Catherine's daughter, Kobiak, has been working with both the head of the RNC, Elizabeth North, and Vice President Andrew Nichols. Their plan is revealed as an attempt to start a war in West Angola. Elizabeth North and Andrew Nichols then engineer the kidnapping of Olivia, anticipating that Fitz will do anything to save her.
Mellie struggles with the death of her son, Jerry. She finally comes in terms with her loss after finding out that Jerry was murdered due to being deliberately exposed to bacterial meningitis rather than contracting the disease naturally, and she chooses to form an alliance with Elizabeth North.

After finding out that Michael has been leaking information from Cyrus to Elizabeth, Cyrus calls Olivia for help. When pictures of Cyrus and Michael are leaked, the couple come up with a plan to get married as a way of handling the crisis.

Alison-Madueke, Nigeria’s Petroleum Minister, emerges OPEC President

Nigeria’s Petroleum Minister, and head of the country’s delegation to the ongoing 166th General Meeting of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC, Diezani Alison-Madueke, has been elected the president of the international oil body.
Mrs. Alison-Madueke, who makes history as the first female to be elected into the office, was elected just as members of OPEC began their meeting at the headquarters of the group in in Vienna, Austria.
She succeeds Libyan Vice-Prime Minister for Corporations, Abdourhman Atahar Al-Ahirish.
Until her election, Mrs. Alison-Madueke, who would serve for one year, was OPEC’s alternate president.
She is expected to commence work immediately to pilot the affairs of the organization at a time members are coming together to find ways of curbing falling global crude oil prices, which dropped to about $73.07 per barrel on Wednesday.
Mr. Al-Ahirish had said at the opening of the private meeting that apart from the impact of speculative activities in the oil market, ample supply, moderate demand, a stronger value of the dollar and uncertainties about global economic growth, were the other key factors moderating price movement in the market in recent times.
Mrs. Alison-Madueke, one of President Goodluck Jonathan’s closest allies, has been accused of mismanaging the oil sector in Nigeria and allowing corruption to thrive.
A 2012 House of Representatives report into the management of petrol subsidy blamed the minister for failing to stop dubious marketers from swindling the government to the tune of over N2 trillion.
The minister has been one the most criticised in Mr. Jonathan’s cabinet, and anti-corruption bodies had protested the move by OPEC to name her the new president of the oil bloc.
