According to new reports, the latest run will continue where it left off before the mid-season break. However, for fans who are dying to see their heroine rescued, sources confirm that it might take a few more episodes before Olivia gets saved.

"Scandal resumes Season 4 on Thursday, Jan. 29 - yet ABC has not released any photos from that winter premiere. Instead, the first photos are from the following episode, airing Feb. 5, and the news is grim: Olivia apparently still is missing," TV Line reported.

"For one, the episode is titled, 'Where's the Black Lady?' - words, I will predict, that come out of the mouth of OPA visitor Marla Gibbs (The Jeffersons). Secondly, the synopsis reads, 'With Olivia still missing, the team comes together to do whatever it takes to find her and get her home safely.'"
