Speaking about the much anticipated April 17 season three finale of the hit show, series star
Kerry Washington told the
Hollywood Reporter
it's going to be an "explosive" night. "One of the craziest things
about this season's finale is that you'd think at this point it would be
impossible to shock us as a cast anymore, but we were floored after
this table read," she said.

"It gets crazier and crazier in the most wonderful way. Even the
writers were excited about it during the table read," Washington
continued. "Shonda kept saying, 'It's only Act Two! It's only Act
Three!' because we couldn't believe how much story was being exploded in
each act. It's quite a ride."
