In the words of actress Kerry Washington, no one seems to be safe in the upcoming season 4 finale of "Scandal." 

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the cast of the show teased that something big is about to go down during the season ender this week, and they are hoping that the only casualty will be the ruthless B613. 

Actor Scott Foley, who portrays the role of Jake in the political thriller, shared that he is hoping that governments would change something about the typical investigative agencies to be able to defeat organizations such as the fictional B613 led by Joe Morton's Rowan Pope. 

But according to Joshua Malina, the actor who portrays the role of David Rosen in the series, most of the characters will be in the middle of very difficult crossroads by the end of the season. 

"In the finale many of the characters are put to difficult decisions, and very important decisions, and decisions that have huge ramifications," the actor shared. 

On the other hand, Guillermo Diaz, the actor who portrays the role of Huck said that the season finale will change the way the viewers feel about some of the characters in the show.

"We find out that he will do anything possible to have them in his life again, and he's capable of anything, so he's a bit of a loose cannon right now. It's a bit scary," Diaz shared. 

Meanwhile, TV Line said that Washington's Olivia Pope will hire a new gladiator to help Huck and Quinn (Katie Lowes) with their job. It means that a new gladiator will be introduced in "Scandal" season 5. The report said that Olivia will be hiring someone she already encountered before, which means that it will be someone who already appeared in the series. The actress tapped to be the newest gladiator, according to speculations, could either be Portia de Rossi, Lena Dunham, or Lisa Kudrow.

More information about "Scandal" season 5 is expected to be released soon. The season 4 finale airs on May 14. The  live stream is available to watch here on ABC at 9 p.m.
