Ruland, aka Mystery Woman (Zoe Perry), and Peus (David Warshofsky) may have bought the electoral votes for Mellie (Bellamy Young) to become president, but the former first lady still needs to be sworn in. "It is not official yet," Young teases of the two-hour finale, which covers Mellie's scheduled inauguration. "We're certainly in a battle at this point between good and evil. ... By the finale, some folks will have become people you couldn't have imagined they would." That may include Mellie herself, whose White House dream is "too close now and she's gonna give it her all." "She's terrified [of Peus]," Young says. "But she's at a time in her life where she can't succumb to the terror. She has to walk forward in spite of the terror."

Despite defying the Mystery Group's orders to name Peus her VP, Mellie's all-female ticket of her and Luna Vargas (Tessie Santiago) remains intact. "[Luna's] still finding her footing, but she's proving to have a good heart and to be a fast learner and to be a great member of the team," Young says. "Mellie is very proud to have an all-female office and really believes that together they can restore hope to the country." But that doesn't mean Team White Hat will loop Luna in on all the crazy drama. "I will just say that trust takes time."

You can also expect another cliffhanger and Quinn (Katie Lowes) to be the MVP. "My favorite finale moment belongs to Quinn," Young shares.
