Watch Scandal season 6 finale online: Preview, synopsis and live stream details

In tonight’s season 6 finale, Olivia and Mellie rise to power as the latter gets sworn into office, so here’s how to watch Scandal online or on TV.

While we may have had a shorter season, Scandal went all in for season 6. When we started the season, we wondered who would become president next: Mellie or her competitor, Frankie Vargas.

Unfortunately, Mellie lost the vote, but Rowan Pope shot assassinated Frankie on stage. Afterward, the rest of the season took us on a journey as Cyrus was framed for murder and we discovered that Olivia’s mother had returned. Of course, it wasn’t a straight line from point A to point B either. Along the way, Huck almost died. Abby almost died. There was a woman named Marjorie whose name was also Grace and Samantha and Gertrude … and Rowan cut her head off.

So, yeah, it’s been a wild ride.

Before we moved forward, let’s check out the synopsis for the season 6 finale. It’s two hours long, so that means, it’s going to be a big one.

"Olivia takes a big risk to ensure Mellie’s safety prior to the inauguration.In the sixth-season finale, Fitz uses his power to make some unexpected changes in the final days of his presidency."

Now, if you’re scratching your head wondering what could possibly happen to Mellie tonight, then how about you check out the preview below. It looks like — despite going through exhaustive efforts to get Mellie (and Peus) into office — Olivia’s mother won’t let her stay long.

Allow me to say that if they harm Mellie in any way, shape or form, I will not tune into Scandal season 7. Not even a little. It’s Mellie or bust.
