Spoiler alert: This post contains spoilers for season three, episode 18 of Scandal. If you have not watched the episode, stop reading now.

Season three of Scandal wrapped up with an election-altering church explosion, a surprise death (maybe even two, depending on how Harrison's cliffhanger moment unfolds) and Olivia's decision to fly away from the nation's capital with Jake by her side.

Show creator Shonda Rhimes joined late-night host Jimmy Kimmel to discuss the finale and share the above blooper reel, with an assist from actor Scott Foley.

The behind-the-scenes gaffes teach us Mellie (Bellamy Young) can't stop saying "fart" in place of more jarring expletives, Huck (Guillermo Díaz) is an expert Shake Weight user, Harrison (Columbus Short) can control his pecs quite well and David (Joshua Malina) loves teasing Jake (Foley) about his Felicity days at inopportune times.

Rhimes also fielded several questions about the season's last episode, "The Price of Free and Fair Election." Rhimes gives insight into whether Olivia (Kerry Washington) really quit Olivia Pope & Associates, how Jake almost became a vice-presidential candidate instead of B613's leader as well as what the thought process was for Huck and Quinn's sex scene.

In another segment, Rhimes answers questions about Harrison's fate (is he dead?).

A third clip recaps the cast's individual visits to Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Kimmel, in a final video, interviews a not-so-anonymous informant.
