Scandal's Season 3 Episode Order Cut Down
Scandal will have a slightly shorter third season than expected: The season's episode order has been cut down from 22 to 18, TVGuide.com has confirmed. ABC didn't provide a reason behind the decision, but it's likely to accommodate Kerry Washington's real-life pregnancy. The actress is due in the spring and the series has chosen not to write the pregnancy into Olivia's story line.
