Scandal has once again clobbered the competition in this week’s Twitter television ratings for series and specials, giving ABC the consistent edge on Thursday nights.  

Nielsen's Twitter stats show the Oct. 2 episode of Scandal produced 286,000 tweets reaching more than 2.6 million Twitter accounts.

This week’s episode featured Jake booking a hotel room for torrid encounters while Olivia informed him she didn’t do “booty calls”; Cyrus blackmailed Olivia to ensure James and Lisa Elliot show up at the President’s State of the Union Address; and Mellie munched potato chips in her bathrobe while seated at her son’s grave.
