There are some people who show up every day to their job on a TV show and they do their work and they go home, just like everybody else. Then there's the Scandal cast, who are 100 percent obsessed with each other. Like, scan any cast member's social media and it's one photo after another of them hanging out and being BFFs.

The love-fest continues today on the show's Scandalversary—a.k.a. the anniversary of the show's premiere. It was April 5, 2012, we were still listening to Adele's 21, and The Wanted was a band that was still relevant. Then Olivia Pope walked into our lives wearing a gorgeous coat, handled some stuff, and our lives were never the same.

Kerry Washington, Tony Goldwyn, Bellamy Young, Katie Lowes and the rest of the cast have posted photos honoring the series on its special day, but there's one problem—it might be season five in Scandal land, but it's only been four years since the series debuted. So while it's not actually the fifth anniversary of the show (despite their label as such), we're still excited to see one of our favorite TV casts post photos honoring each other.

Listen, just because math might not be the Scandal team's strong suit doesn't mean we love them any less.

Kerry bought smoothies for the whole cast and crew, Tony posted a pic from the first scene he and Kerry shot together, and Katie posted a GIF of a scene that brought one of the greatest phrases with which Shonda Rhimes has ever blessed us, "bitch baby."

Happy anniversary, Scandal! Let's reconvene in a year and celebrate the actual fifth anniversary.

Scandal airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on ABC.
