While we're still blushing from Scandal's season five trailer [1], new pictures from the premiere have been released. The episode, airing on Sept. 24, is called "Heavy Is the Head." Here's the synopsis, according to ABC: "Olivia and Fitz are back together again and enjoying every scandalous moment together while Cyrus, Mellie, and Huck are all still dealing with the aftermath of helping Command. Meanwhile, when a visit from the Queen of Caldonia and her family turns into a tragedy, Olivia is hired to make sure the royal family's private life stays private." Can't wait! Here's the first look, plus everything we know about season 5 [2].

Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) returns, looking stern.

This is going to be an awkward talk.

Mellie (Bellamy Young) is determined to keep a smile on her face.

Nope, still awkward.

Irish actress Dearbhla Molloy is guest starring on the episode.

Abby (Darby Stanchfield) and Olivia (Kerry Washington [3]) look like they're back to being best friends.
