The ABC hit political thriller “Scandal” just ended its fourth season, and things seems to be looking up for Olivia Pope’s (Kerry Washington) stressed out love life situation.

The episode titled “You Can’t Take Command” ended with President Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn) and Olivia making out on the Oval Office balcony, with all the optimism of that song "Here Comes the Sun" playing on as they got romantic.

Things did not end up so great for other characters, most notably the President’s wife Mellie (Bellamy Young) who was kicked out of the White House after it was discovered that Rowan (Joe Morton) had been able to blackmail her.

As all this occurred, B6-13 -- the covert government agency run by Rowan Pope -- appears to have finally been taken down.

This was, as Lauren Piester notes in her appraisal of the episode on E!, an atypically upbeat finale for showrunner Shonda Rhimes. Piester notes that there is still perhaps the chance that the events onscreen “didn't actually happen and they just forgot to get back out of the dream sequence and show us the real world again.”

As for next season, Portia de Rossi, who had a recurring role in Season 4 playing the underhanded and manipulative chair of the Republican National Committee, Elizabeth North, will return for more episodes in Season 5.

The 42-year old Australian-born actress, who recently opened up about her past struggles with an eating disorder, took to Twitter to express her excitement about doing more work on "Scandal," saying: “Thank you @shondarhimes. Thank you @ScandalABC I can't wait to start Season 5!!”

The model and actress, who got her her first big break on “Ally McBeal” in the 90s, is in a good place right now but can recall with ease her desperate feelings associated with her past food issues.

As reported in ABC News, de Rossi described the cycle, saying of her bulimia: "Erase the feelings with food, erase the food by vomiting, but you still went left with the shame. It makes me emotional just thinking about that day."
