This Thursday at 8 p.m. EST is the return of something I’ve been waiting for since November. Shondaland is, once again, open for business. It’s hard to do a refresher course for these three programs because so much has happened. SO. MUCH. Like, too much for any other show, but Shonda don’t play that, and she makes the plot move faster than a cardiothoracic surgery at Grey-Sloan Memorial. So, I decided on giving you a fun way to watch on the 11th by creating a drinking game. You can choose to go the #TGIT way (tequila during Grey’s, red wine during Scandal, vodka during HTGAWM) or the Marshal way (so much red grape juice that you’re using the bathroom every commercial break). No matter the way, let’s get out #TGIT on!
