Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) and Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) fought to reform the criminal justice system yesterday on the Scandal and How to Get Away with Murdercrossover, but did they succeed?

After some serious head butting over whose reputation was worse — honestly, it’s too hard to decide which of these ladies has more skeletons in their closet — Annalise and Olivia finally found a way to work together by facing their sordid histories head on.

Their first task was getting the case in front of the Supreme Court at all, which was a hurdle Olivia Pope could clear. Unfortunately, with Quinn (Katie Lowes), Abby (Darby Stanchfield) and Mellie (Bellamy Young) allying against her, finding judges that would take her side was an obstacle not even Olivia could tackle alone. Only a crisis of conscience on Quinn’s part saved the case from getting shot down yet again.

Reconciliation between Quinn and Liv is still way off the table at this point, but it’s nice to know that they both still hold true to that gladiator mentality.
