The Apr. 16 episode of Scandal, "I'm Just a Bill," ended with a dramatic twist. (Seriously, don't keep reading if you don't want to be spoiled.)
The promo for next week's episode hints that Jake has died, with someone screaming over his bloody body and Russell confirming to Rowan that he "has been eliminated."

And many Scandal fans were NOT happy about a Jake-less Washington D.C.
Nooooo not Jake Ballard. 😭😭😭😭😭 #scandal
Jake Ballard dying on Scandal is worse than Zayn leaving one direction #ScandaI
Some were so upset, they were threatening to stop watching the show.
ok listennn.. If Jake Ballard is killed off of Scandal I WONT WATCH IT ANYMORE
What even is Scandal without Jake Ballard? Bye.
Even Foley took to Twitter to seemingly say goodbye to Jake's fans.
So, there it is. Thank you Twitter for tonight and all of the Thursday nights. It's such an honor. #Scandal
And Malina tweeted that it had "been a real pleasure" working with Foley, who joined Scandal in Season 2.
It has been a real pleasure working with @scottkfoley. #Scandal
