Quotes
Olivia Pope: I did what I had to for my client. I made a tough call. You don't like it, Abby, too bad. It's my name on that door, not yours.
Abby Whelan: Don't talk to me about tough calls or names on the door... When Charles fractured three of my ribs and broke my jaw and threw me out into the snow in my nightgown, Olivia Pope took a tire iron and broke his knee cap and got me the best divorce attorney in the state and got me out of that marriage. It's what Olivia does. It's who you are. You are the gladiator. I would gladly follow you over a cliff, but you've gotta show up. You gotta be a warrior. You don't get to pick and choose when the real Olivia Pope walks through that door. You made the wrong call.

The plot was completely unrealistic.

If a brutal South American dictator existed and were a sworn enemy of the U.S., would the guy be invited for a conference to Washington and be allowed to enter US territory with his family and army?! Really?

I am sure the same topic could have been developed without going as far as making up a dictator of an unspecified country in South America after all that specific countries such as Argentina,Chile,Brasil,Uruguay,Paraguay,Bolivia and Perú have done to get rid of old dictators.
