The Scandal trailer for season 5 opens with Olivia Pope and President Grant Fitzgerald tossing and turning in the sheets, with Etta James’ β€œAt Last” playing in the background. At last, the trailer suggests, these two long-suffering lovebirds are together, and plan to stay that way. We also see Fitzgerald serve his wife, Mellie, with divorce papers. America will have a nice time discussing the morality of that decision.

In the trailer for How to Get Away With Murder, Annalise Keating’s law students are knee-deep in yet another investigation. This time it’s about who killed Rebecca Sutter (and Keating seemingly pretends that she doesn’t know). Season 2 should be just as layered as season 1.

Get ready, everyone. #TGIT is back with a vengeance. The new seasons for both shows start Sept. 24.
