After seven seasons , Shonda Rhimes ’s " Scandal " is over , but it ’s Olivia and Fitz forever .

Sure,Kerry WashingtonandTony Goldwynare happily married to other people with children. But as long as they keep blessing the “Olitz” fandom ofScandalwith reunions — we’ll happily accept.

TikToker Kimberly Mykelsaidit best: “I just wanted to come on here and thankShonda Rhimes, first and foremost, because she prepared America for a woman likeKamala Harris.”

“Because Kamala is very TGIT-coded if we really want to clock it. You know what I mean?”

For the uninitiated, TGIT stands for “Thank God It’s Thursday,” a reference to the legendary night Shonda Rhimes’s hit shows aired on ABC:How to Get Away with Murder, Grey’s Anatomy,andScandal.

So, when it was announced thatScandal’s Tony and Kerry would attend the Democratic National Convention, it felt too good to be true.

Tony, aka President Fitzgerald Grant III,spokeon night one of the DNC; obviously, the scandalous fandom couldn’t stop talking about it.

Then, Kerry, aka Olivia Pope, kept teasing us with hints about the reunion of TV’s greatest fictional presidential love story (if you ignore the “scandal” part), and my jaw was on the floor.

Anything for democracy I guess … 😂 https://t.co / sy3ksy1DbR

And just like a climatic resolution of the penultimate episode of a Shonda Rhimes classic, Olivia and President Fitz were reunited on Wednesday night during night three of the DNC.

Kerrysharedthe two selfies with Tony, captioning them, “Giving the people what they want. @tonygoldwyn #ForDemocracy #DMC #Olitz.” All I could hear was the “Olitz Love Theme” by Chad Fischer playing in my head.

Rightfully so, the fandom was beside themselves at the sight of them embracing each other again. Here are my favorite reactions:

If the DNC gets Kerry Washington & Tony Goldwyn to accommodate they ’re in love onstage , the election will be in the purse for Harris .
