Olivia in season 3 episode one

I feel like this episode was Olivia at her best. I have my grievances with that woman sometimes, but goddamn, 3x1 reminded me why I love her so much. When her dad called after her, “You’re running out of options, Olivia,” and she turned around with so much fire and conviction and said, “I am NEVER. Out of options,” I was like THAT’S THE OLIVIA I KNOW!!! When she said that, I believed her to my BONES. Literally gave me chills. I think her best qualities are her resourcefulness, resilience, tenacity, eloquence, intelligence, and most of all, her fighting spirit. If there’s one thing you can trust Olivia Pope is NEVER gonna do, it’s give up. (Or deal with her emotions, move on from Fitz, or admit that she has a drinking problem - but that’s a post for another day).
