Female powerhouses Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) and Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) will finally meet during a special Shondaland crossover event on Thursday, March 1, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The crossover between How to Get Away With Murder and Scandal was announced earlier this month via social media, when executive producer and mastermind Shonda Rhimes tweeted a photo of the script where Olivia and Annalise meet for the first time.

In the crossover, after attorney Annalise appears on Scandal, Olivia — President Mellie Grant’s (Bellamy Young) chief of staff — will head over to star in How to Get Away with Murder. The producers won’t spill details regarding the big event, but some suspect it involves Annalise’s class action lawsuit against the state of Pennsylvania over wrongful convictions.
Scandal airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC, followed by How to Get Away With Murder at 10 p.m.
