Olivia and Jake might fight the biggest battle of their life to save the White House in the action-packed finale episode while fans probably have to bear the jolt of a shocking death.

The official synopsis and picture released by ABC leaves quite a few clues of the finale episode 'The Price of Free and Fair Elections'.

Actor Tony Goldwyn who plays President Fitzgerald Grant in the Shonda Rhimes political thriller spilled some spoiler bean while giving an interview to hollywoodreporter.com

"Shonda keeps building off of what she has done. I didn't know how she would top the death of James Novak, and yet she has with this one. The stakes keep getting higher and she just does not back down. All boundaries are removed and truly anything can happen. None of us are safe," Goldwyn said.

When asked if any major character will die in the season finale, Goldwyn replied, "I can't say that, but major characters are certainly impacted in irreversible ways by this momentum that is building."

Olivia is surely keeping no stone unturned to keep her clients' secrets intact but can her mother Maya play a hindrance to her efforts and how Olivia will understand mom Pope's motives in order to save the White House?
