Rhimes continued talking about Cyrus and Mellie and their situation of not being in the White House anymore.[16]
Rhimes also confirmed that "the reconstitution” of Team OPA would happen in the fifth season, as Rhimes revealed in an interview with TVLine, as she explained that the Gladiator conceit was sidelined a bit in the fourth season to instead "healing" Olivia.
