You know the best part about the fact that Scarlett Johansson and SNL‘s Colin Jost are reportedly dating? The potential for ScarJo SNL cameos—particularly those of the ScarJo-as-Ivanka variety. And last night, dear viewers, in the last episode of SNL this year, we received one.

During SNL‘s holiday-themed cold open, Johansson surprised the audience when she took the stage to resume her role as First Daughter Ivanka Trump. The award-winning actress had hosted the show back in March and made a quick cameo in an episode that aired in May—both times donning a long blond wig and bodycon dress to play President Trump’s favorite daughter. But it’s her latest appearance that really captured how we all feel about this last year.

The scene opens with a “Special Message from the White House,” before we see President Trump (played once again by Alec Baldwin) and First Lady Melania Trump (played by Cecily Strong) reminiscing about all of Trump’s “accomplishments” from the last year. You know, ending the “War on Christmas,” bringing coal back in a “big, big way,” and tax cuts that “might even make me a real billionaire,” as “Trump” puts it. According to the satirical President, 2017 was “the greatest year in the history of America. And maybe the entire Planet Earth.”

To celebrate, “Trump” offers his thanks to all the people who work for him—and some who no longer do. “Because I can’t help myself, we’re going to also remember all the haters and losers we destroyed this year,” he says. “And we’re going to hang ornaments with their faces on them on what we’re calling ‘The Tree of Shame.'”

First, good ol’ Kellyanne Conway (played by Kate McKinnon) stops by with a James Comey ornament. Then Sarah Huckabee Sanders (Aidy Bryant) drops off Sean Spicer and Anthony Scaramucci (remember him?) tree decorations. They’re followed by Mike Pence (Beck Bennett), who gifts the president a glass ball ornament with the face of “that traitorous Mike Flynn” on it. Omarosa Magiault (Leslie Jones) also attempts to stop by but is quickly thwarted by Secret Service.

Attempting to move on from his brief Omarosa scare, “Trump” asks “Where’s my next ornament?” And that’s when viewers hear a familiar voice.

“I’m right here, Father,” “Ivanka” says, entering the scene wearing a dark, fitted, sparkly dress.

“Trump” asks where her husband, Jared Kushner, is. “He’s packing a go bag before the FBI arrives,” she responds before adding: “I’ll always remember that one time I heard him talk.”

“Ivanka” then presents her father with the ornament she’s brought him: Roy Moore.

“Poor Roy,” says Baldwin’s Trump. “I thought for sure he would win. Until he lost. And then I said I always knew he would lose. At least America knows that I finally supported an accused child molester.”

Then Johansson delivers a line that, to some, might just sum up Trump’s first year in office: “Well, as I said, there’s a special place in hell—and we’re all there.”

Watch the full thing below—and keep an eye out for Donald Jr. (Mikey Day), Eric Trump (Alex Moffat), and Jeff Sessions (McKinnon again).
