The 'Scandal' Cast Had Their Final Table Read, and Everyone Was Crying

It's the beginning of the end!

Scandal held its final table read on Friday, and judging by the cast's reaction, the series finale is going to be pretty emotional. The show's final episode, titled "Over a Cliff," was written by creator Shonda Rhimes, though she curiously seemed to be the only person not in tears by the end of the table read.

"The final #Scandal table read #shondalandfamily," Rhimes captioned a photo smiling from ear-to-ear with Scandal stars Tony Goldwyn, Cornelius Smith Jr. and Kerry Washington, who still had curlers in her hair.

Washington wasn't shy about sharing her feelings on Twitter, writing, "The final table for @ScandalABC just happened. I have no words. And a lot of tears." Her on-screen dad, Joe Morton, meanwhile, shared his hilariously devastating reactions.

The cast and crew couldn't have been more pumped up at the start of the table read, as Smith shared a video of everyone cheering for Rhimes. But as Darby Stanchield noted, tissues weren't hard to find. See more reactions below.
