Kerry Washington’s Heart-Pounding Reaction To New ‘Scandal’ Episode

Gladiators, get your red wine ready for an all-new “Scandal” “unlike” any episode you’ve seen before, Kerry Washington hinted.

“The episode that you’re gonna see next Thursday is unlike anything we’ve ever done before on ‘Scandal,'” the actress – who plays lead character Olivia Pope – told Access Hollywood on Thursday night in Los Angeles at the First Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards. “When we got together to watch it, my heart was beating out of my chest.”

The winter finale of “Scandal” left fans with a major cliff-hanger. When Jake Ballard returned from the bedroom, Olivia was mysteriously missing from the living room and left spilled wine behind. Was she abducted? Who’s responsible for her disappearance and where did she go?

Kerry couldn’t provide us with any of those answers.

“I can’t tell you anything else without risking getting fired,” she apologetically told Access.
