"Scandal" wraps up its second season this week (Thurs., May 16, 10 p.m. ET on ABC), and there's no telling what kind of twists and massive cliffhangers they'll leave us with before Season 3, especially now that we know who the mole is .
Star Katie Lowes stopped by HuffPost Live to talk all about her character Quinn's evolution and her new partnership with Olivia Pope & Associates' resident spy guy Huck (Guillermo Diaz). Could it be more than just a mentor-mentee relationship? Would she be up for a Huckleberry Quinn hook-up?
"Sure! [Laughs.] I would be game for anything," she told HuffPost Live. "Whatever is thrown at us, we will take it on and we will grab it and we will do with it what we will." Spoken like a true Gladiator.
But Lowes also revealed a little-known fact about her past with a fellow "Scandal" star.

Watch her gush about Perry and the rest of the cast here:
