Scandal Season 4 Spoilers: Will Sally Langston Return? Will Andrew and Mellie's Affair Continue?

Scandal returned for its Season 4 premiere on Thursday night, which means the Shonda Rhimes series is just getting started on its sure-to-be wild roller coaster ride.

The "Matt's Inside Line" column at TVLine has two scoops on Scandal this week, and the first one deals with the possible return of Sally Langston in the fourth season.

"Now that Scandal's Sally Langston has lost the presidential election, any intel on what will become of the former veep? -Dan
Good question - and one that might not be answered in full for a while. 'I don't know when I'll be back,' Kate Burton told us at the #TGIF event. 'It'll probably be the second half of the season - that's what they've told me - but [Shonda Rhimes] might change her mind and say, 'No, we're going to do something next season.' Who knows?' But whenever the time comes, expect juicy stuff. Says Burton with a smile, 'I mean, how can Sally Langston not be juicy?'"

Next, the site reports on Mellie's relationship with Andrew. "It appears their red-hot affair has cooled off considerably, in the wake of the First Family losing a child. 'Andrew is not at peace with where things stand with he and Mellie,' Jon Tenney says. 'That being said, at the end of last season, Mellie and Fitz just lost their first child, and so I think romance may not be the first thing on her mind.' As Bellamy Young herself tells us, mourning Mellie 'is in a whole new place, an uncharted, unprecedented wilderness for her.'"
