The episode 7 of 'Scandal' Season 4 is titled "Baby Made a Mess." Olivia is set to start her own investigation to prove that Jake has been framed, which is likely to infuriate her father. The last episode saw Olivia stopping Fitz from handing Jake over to Rowan. She indicated to Fitz that there is still hope for them if he lets Jake live. Fitz spared Jake's life, telling him that it is his gift to the woman they both love. Rowan was not at all happy to learn that he is not getting his dog [Jake] back.

In the final moments of the last episode, "An Innocent Man," Rowan told Olivia that she has crossed him. According to his daughter, she has saved both Jake and Fitz's life. Olivia said to her father, "You may be command, Dad, but I have weapons at my disposal. Weapons you can't possibly possess."

The preview clip and synopsis of episode 7 reveal that Olivia is likely to use the weapons at her disposal to find a way to question Tom. In the preview, she can be seen asking Tom, "Who ordered you to kill the President's son." This interrogation may not make Tom to reveal that Rowan is the mastermind. He is likely to stick to his statement that it is Jake who ordered him to kill Jerry.

Also in the last episode, Mellie got some valuable lessons from Bitsy, the former first lady, on how not to limit herself to just the ceremonial tasks but to play a more proactive role. Mellie told the press that the President is not closing military bases. The story about Fitz planning to close the military bases was leaked to the media by Lizzie Bear. She got the information from Cyrus' new lover, Michael. The findings of Abby's investigation made Cyrus realise that it is Michael who may have leaked the confidential information.

The synopsis of the episode indicates that Cyrus is likely to find the truth about Lizzie Bear and Michael. Also, the episode will see Mellie making a power move. And, the episode will see the return of Joe Bergen, the campaign consultant of former vice president Sally. Katherine, too, is returning in the episode. In the last episode, Quinn found that the key, which she got from the dead girl's stomach, opens a locker that contains Olivia's photos.

Official Synopsis of "Scandal" Season 4 Episode 7, "Baby Made a Mess": "Olivia, still unable to believe that Jake is guilty, sets her eyes on Tom for additional information, and when Leo Bergen's newest client causes a gut wrenching reaction, her associates spring into action.
