Shonda Rhimes and co. have done it again!

By way of the momentum generated by its ‘mole’ led plot, ABC‘s political thriller Scandal drew in a sweet 8.9 million viewers last night- marking the highest rated show in the US.

Beating ‘American Idol‘ and ‘The Big Bang Theory’, the Kerry Washington led series scored its best numbers to date, outperforming every other show to have aired in the market this week, serving as the show’s latest ratings win since its April 5th 2012 arrival.

Now on course to rank as TV‘s highest rated drama for the second time in three weeks, the series‘ winning streak comes weeks before ABC are set to announce the arrival of its third season–  helping to pick up the pieces from last night’s explosive revelation.
