Earlier this month, Shonda Rhimes confirmed that a How to Get Away With Murder and Scandal crossover episode was in the works after a few not-so-subtle hints from Viola Davis and Kerry Washington. Now we have a few more juicy details about what happens when Annalise Keating and Olivia Pope's worlds collide.

On Thursday, Davis stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to dish about her experience working with America's favorite gladiator, and yes, it was everything you'd expect it would be. "Every time [Kerry and I] touched on the show, it was static electricity. Every single time. It was black girl magic on steroids!" the Oscar winner teased in the interview above.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the highly anticipated episode will air on March 1, but one familiar face we won't see is Liza Weil. If you recall, Weil first made her mark as the now-deceased White House intern Amanda Tanner on the first season of Scandal and currently plays attorney Bonnie Winterbottom on HTGAWM. The outlet has confirmed Weil will not appear in either of the crossover episodes, avoiding any confusion for viewers.

The epic TV event is a just few weeks away, and we couldn't be more pumped! Pour the wine, pop the popcorn, and keep reading to see the exciting set photos Washington and Davis shared that started it all.
