‘Scandal’ Season 6: Huck Likely Alive; Guillermo Diaz Talks Character’s Fate

"Scandal" Season 6 Episode 7 hinted at Diego "Huck" Muñoz's demise, although it is unlikely that he is dead. Guillermo Diaz hinted that his character is still alive.

"Scandal" Season 6 Episode 7, "A Traitor Among Us," saw Huck take three bullets to his body. Meg shot him twice on the chest and one on the stomach. The episode ended with him bleeding and fighting for dear life. It left viewers to wonder if he is truly dead or just seriously injured.

Huck's fate in the coming episodes of "Scandal" Season 6 remains unknown. Whether he survived his gunshot wounds and live to expose Meg is something that fans should watch out for. While his wounds hint at his ultimate death, it is still unlikely that this is how the show bids goodbye to Huck.

Diaz hinted that his character is still alive in "Scandal" Season 6. According to TV Line, he told reporters at PaleyFest to just tune in to the show and find out. The actor said his lips are sealed but his statement hints at Huck being alive. "There's been so much love for Huck, for this character that I've been so lucky to play for this long," Diaz said.

Likewise, according to Vulture, Huck is too important to let go since he is a skilled hitman. It is rare to find someone with his caliber in D.C. Huck is similar to his ally and fellow hitman Jake Ballard. The show has been trying to kill Jake for the past seasons but to no avail. The character is now a series regular in "Scandal" Season 6.

Perhaps the same applies to Huck. That cliffhanger in "Scandal" Season 6 Episode 7 is probably just a distraction to throw viewers into a loop when it comes to storyline. After all, if Meg had not shot Huck then fans would not have known her client. It turns out that Meg works for Abby Whelan, the White House chief of Staff.
