TV Guide's column,The "Mega Buzz" released a few teases for hungry fans.

"It sounds like Maya's plan to target the president with her bomb will come to fruition, " the column stated. "In other words, expect an explosive season finale. Making matters worse, we hear the finale takes place on Election Day, which means that the lives of even more people, including campaign manager Olivia, will be in jeopardy. Anyone want to guess the victim(s)?"

Scandal actress, Darby Stanchfield also gave viewers a tease in TVLine's column, "Matt's Inside Line":

"'The finale explodes into a million different pieces...This set of characters, especially over at Olivia Pope & Associates, are more splintered off from each other than ever before. When we were shooting the episode, I actually thought to myself, 'I wonder if they're actually going to tear down the set and build a new one?' It's that extreme.'"

Fans can watch the season 3 finale of Scandal, Thursday, April 17 at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.
