In the nearly minute-and-a-half clip, Abby storms through the halls of the White House, racing to stop Fitz and Mellie’s interview, which is supposed to assure the country that their marriage is amazing and Olivia is just a dear friend.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like she gets there in time, as Fitz can be seen telling the reporter, “Our marriage is stronger than ever, but we’re human. It’s hard when they attack our friends.”

The only thing that might save Abby at this point is Olivia’s loyalty to her, which might mean that Abby could keep her job. And, if not, she can always become a gladiator again, and that wouldn’t be a terrible thing. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen the gang back together.
