Watch 'Scandal' Season 5 episode 17 online live; is Fitz in the middle of yet another presidential scandal?

Olivia might have to sort out yet another presidential scandal before Fitz leaves the White House. The sneak peek for Thursday's episode of ABC's "Scandal" hints that Fitz might have got Lillian, the woman who got him back in the dating game, pregnant.

If Lillian is indeed pregnant, then she will be the second woman Fitz has got pregnant since splitting from his wife Mellie. The Season 5 mid-season finale of the ABC drama saw Olivia getting an abortion after realising she was pregnant with Fitz's baby. The president is yet to know about his former girlfriend's pregnancy and abortion.

Coming back to Thursday's episode, the clip shows Lillian going into some medical facility and the next scene is of Abby accusing the president of knocking up Lillian. When he expressed shock that Abby had people spying on Lillian, she said that Fitz made it her job when he started dating her.

"Lillian is pregnant which explains why she's not be working out as much as in the mornings and also explains why she's made three incognito visits to a medical center which currently house seven OB-GYN doctors," Abby said.

Could Fitz be expecting yet another child? The official Twitter account of "Scandal" has been hinting at Thursday's episode being "gasp-worthy" and it is guaranteed that "Thwack" has a shocker in store for the viewers. But it is not clear if it is Lillian's pregnancy.

The synopsis for "Thwack" according to "Scandal" Wikia reads: "The election is in full swing, which means everyone is doing their best to take down their opponents, but when a potential leak threatens several candidates, they have to work together to keep their secrets safe. Boundaries are pushed and lines are crossed as we find out just how far some people are willing to go to protect themselves."
