The Abbott Elementary School star and showrunner spoke with PEOPLE on Saturday, October 26 at the EMA Awards, where she revealed what fans can expect from the highly anticipated episode. She remembers when the idea came to her and, as she explained, it was a complete accident.

“I think someone posted a stupid thing on the Internet Rob McElhenney and said, “That looks like it Always sunny episode,” she explained. “And then he said, ‘It’s more like… Abbott episode.’ That got Rob and I talking, and the episode isn’t about that, but Rob and I really got along.

“I think what was important, first of all, was that I connected with the lead creator of this show and we saw a world where we could combine our shows because they’re both in Philadelphia,” she continued. “It was really simple and people get confused, but I think it works really well and it helps that we’re all under the Disney umbrella, so it wasn’t as painful as it could have been.”

As for whether she’ll be able to let loose during the crossover special, Brunson said she will.

“Yeah, my mom isn’t allowed to watch it,” he jokes.
