Episode 15 of Scandal Season 3, "Mama Said Knock You Out"," aired on March 27, 2012 and kept fans in their seats and their eyes fixed on their televisions. Viewers can anticipate scandalous scenes as indicated by the episode title. This episode reveals how the Gladiators were able to keep the killing of James a secret while Olivia will find out that James's killer was in fact Jake.

Directed by Tony Goldwyn, Scandal Season 3 Episode 15 "Mama Said Knock You Out" was written by Zahir McGhee.

The TV series' Season 3 Episode 14 started from the last scene where James was killed by Jake. For the most part, Episode 14 deals with the incidents that transpired after the murder of James. Olivia sought the comfort of her father after learning that Jack killed James, but was surprised when her father said that killing James was "part of the job."

Additionally, it was difficult for David Rosen to follow the orders given by Jake. Meanwhile, the White House went into a settlement when Sally met with the NRA, encouraging Cyrus to arrive at a clever plan. Gun control was suggested by Fitz in the meantime, when James was killed and he also got shot. This premeditated move worked well, causing his popularity to go up in the polls.

The latest episode shows the Grant children inside the White House, which creates the suggestion that Fitz is not the father of one of the children. Viewers will remember that Fitz's wife was raped by his father. Therefore, it could be that one of the children was fathered by his own father to his own wife. That would indeed be a shocking and disgraceful revelation suitable of the title "Scandal."

Scandal Season 3 Episode 16, "The Fluffer," will have Abby substituting for Olivia and taking on her duties at the White House. This episode is scheduled for release on April 10. Episode 17, "Flesh and Blood," will see the team to move into action due to a security breach in the previous episode.
