She had an emotional goodbye with Jake Ballard only to reunite with an old flame at the end of the last season.

And it looks like old habits die hard for Olivia Pope.

The former White House Director of Communications, played by Kerry Washington, was shown getting rather intimate with President Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn) in several steamy scenes that opened up the season five of Scandal.

CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD

Let's get it on: It was straight back to business for Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) and President Fitzgerald Grant Tony Goldwyn

A very extensive sex montage is shown between the two of the main stars featuring plenty of skin and heavy-breathing.

The two actors can be seen rolling around in bed and enjoying some pretty extensive one on one time in the opening minutes of season five of the show.

All this was taking place while Sally Langston (Kate Burton) can be heard making a speech, talking about Fitz celebrating 'betrayal' and 'skipping down the road to Sodom and Gomorrah.'

Love is in the air: The pair are seen getting hot and heavy in the show

Pillow talk: As the pair role around on the bed, Sally Langston (Kate Burton) can be heard speaking in the background

Exercising between the sheets: The duo looked quite worn out by their exertions

As the pair attempt to set some sort of lovemaking world record, it is up to the viewer to decide if the speech is about them, as she waxes lyrical about: 'A commoner, an all-American girl' who leaves her normal life for one with a prince.

However, she is actually referring to the visit of royalty - Princess Emily of Caledonia (Hilty Bowen) who is in the US capitol with her family.

Interestingly, the anglicized republic has a strong similarity to the fictional country of Genovia, in the Princess Diaries - Shonda Rimes who wrote Scandal was a co-writer on The Princess Diaries 2.

Back to business: Then it was time for the duo to attend a state banquet in honour of the Royal family from Caledonia

Fitz is having a state dinner for the family as he is trying to convince them to let him open a naval base in their country.

However the Queen isn't having any of it.

At the dinner, Princess Emily overhears Olivia make some remarks to Abby, (Darby Stanchfield) about how nice her life must be.

She tells the women: To most of the world, I’m not a real person anymore,” she says. “To them, I’m not human. I’m just a spectacle. I don’t think they’d say half the things they say if they knew they were hurting an actual person.

She's back: Olivia was seen having a conversation with Abby (played by Darby Stanchfield)

This seems to be a sign that Olivia is soon going to face the music on her love affair with the President.

With his estranged wife Mellie (Bellamy Young), not present, (Abby tells the press she has flu and couldn't attend) mainly because his lover is, it looks like the writing is soon going to be on a very public wall for the pair.

In the wake of the dinner, the Princess is killed in a fatal car crash in a tunnel, a plot device which seems to have drawn from the tragic fatal accident involving Princess Diana.

This of course creates some tension between Olivia and Fitz as he was given the opportunity to prosecute his royal guests but chose not to due to political reasons.

The commander in chief threatens his romantic-interest with prosecution if she rebelled, which she ended up doing.

Olivia eventually goes after the queen for killing her daughter-in-law.

She also tells the president that they should not publicly unveil their relationship, however, his former Vice President (Kate Burton) takes it upon herself to make the big reveal on national television.
