Run eyes over Friday crossword with learner. It's outrageous (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scandal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'run eyes' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to natural events as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'friday crossword with learner it's outrageous' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'with' could be 'and' and 'and' is present in the answer.
'learner' could be 'l' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car) and 'l' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'over' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
