Scandal Season 3 Spoilers: Will James turn in Cyrus for Vice President's murder?

ABC's hit Scandal returns to the airwaves on Thursday night after 11 weeks without a new episode. One of the major dangling plot threads was Vice President Sally Langston's murder of her husband, which Cyrus (Jeff Perry) helped cover up. But a new video preview for the episode shows that everything could come crashing down for the President's Chief of Staff.

Cyrus helped Sally cover up the murder in order to help secure President Fitzgerald Grant's (Tony Goldwyn) place in the Republican primary, as they now had leverage for Sally not to run on her own. Charlie (George Newbern) came in and cleaned up te whole situation, or so it seemed.

The NSA has intercepted Sally's phone call to Cyrus in the aftermath of the murder and the clean up, and who should receive this information but U.S. Attorney David Rosen (Joshua Malina). The mysterious recording could take down Sally and her associates, which in this case is Cyrus.

Cyrus' husband James (Dan Bucatinsky) had willingly told David that Daniel Douglas was killed, but will he be so forthcoming now that his husband and his job as a Whit House press secretary could be on the line? Check out the video below, in which David appeals to James, here.

TVLine also reported the following about the Olivia/Fitz/Mellie triangle:

"I would love to hear anything Scandal-related, especially on the Fitz/Olivia/Mellie front. -Mandy
Fitz/Olivia/Mellie is precisely what you'll get - though not in the best of ways - as the midseason premiere opens. (All told, 'Olitz' fans can expect :-O :*-( and : D moments, though not in that order.) Oh, and the lunch date teased in this video? You can only imagine what Mellie proposes in the name of making a 'respectable woman' out of her rival."

Scandal returns Thursday at 10 p.m. Eastern on ABC.
