As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- Olivia's "I could have a reporter here, asking why you are prosecuting an innocent medal-of-honor winner. That was me threatening you."
- Olivia and her team fighting against dictators, a Corrupt Corporate Executive, a Spoiled Brat who jumped the slippery slope, and a lot of evil people, and still being brave and fighting for what's right.
- Abby reminding Olivia of who she is, after repeating calmly : "Well, I wanted to leave Charles.", she bursts and shouts everything she has kept on her, proving how much of an Iron Woobie and The Heart she is.
- Congresswoman Josephine Marcus delivering a scathing speech about sexism in politics
. - Mellie gives an amazing speech in "Randy, Red, Superfreak and Julia."
- "I just want to be clear that there are some things that I'm just not going to do anymore. Things that just feel like an insulting waste of time once you have held your dead son in your arms. Monitoring you is one of those things. So I'm saying when you see her, and you come home and you're all hot and bothered and you decide to pretend that you are a good family man so you climb into my bed and on top of me. I'm saying when you see her, you will tell me because I'm going to want some warning because I don’t know if I can even imagine getting turned on by you right now. Oh and FYI when you stick your hand into my panties, another thing that I just don’t do anymore is wax. So it's 1976 down there so you maybe wouldn't be turned on by me anyways. So the point is, when you see her you will tell me."
- Olivia spends most of "The Lawn Chair" hanging on by the proverbial thread. She's still awesome, though.Olivia: The fact that they stand in the street and say things you do not like does not make them a mob. It makes them Americans.
- Huck lays Rowan/Eli out in "Baby, It's Cold Outside." Huck calls Rowan a failure as a father, since Olivia hates him. Rowan is at a loss for words.
- Fitz arriving completely unannounced at Olivia's apartment, accompanied by the full Presidential motorcade and the Secret Service, just to take her on a date. Doubles as a Heartwarming Moment because he doesn't care about whether the media (still attacking Olivia for revealing their affair) hounds them or not.
- One early episode involved OPA defending a politician who they screwed over. He killed the guy his wife was sleeping with. At the end of the episode, it's revealed that he knew all along, and murdered the lover, and everything else was him tap-dancing. And Liv can't do a thing about the fact that she just got a murderer off.
- The stunning showdown between Olivia and Annalise Keating on everything from Annalise being "blacker" than Olivia to their various personal failings. The fact they have their hair in curlers in a beauty salon doesn't take away from how fantastic seeing them face off is.
- In “Like Father, Like Daughter”, Karen becomes involved in a sex tape scandal, and Olivia is forced to make a deal with the parents of Donald Morgan III, one of the boys Karen had sex with; $2.5 million in exchange for the video. But when the Morgans actually have the audacity to ask for more money and insult Karen, that is the final straw for Olivia, who calls off the deal and threatens to expose them to the tabloids as blackmailers and child pornographers.Olivia: (hands them the check) 2.5 million as promised, I just need—
Mrs. Morgan: (to her husband) You didn’t tell her?
Olivia: Tell me what?
Mr. Morgan: Uh, we’re gonna need another 500,000. Cover expenses.
Olivia: …Excuse me?
Mrs. Morgan: We’re thinking an even 3 million. You know, so the world never finds out the President’s Daughter is a dirty little slut.
(Beat as Olivia calmly takes out her phone and takes a picture of the Morgans)
Mr. Morgan: Wh-What-What’s going on? What are you doing?
Olivia: Deal’s off. (takes back the check and takes a picture of it, as well)
Mr. Morgan: Off?!
Mrs. Morgan: What’s with the pictures?
Olivia: These are for the tabloids. Smile. (takes another picture of them)
Mrs. Morgan: Tabloids?
Olivia: Think I’ll leak them to the Post first. Morning shows will pick this story up in seconds.
Mr. Morgan: What are you talking about?!
Olivia: Oh, I’m gonna destroy you.
Mrs. Morgan: Destroy us? No we’re the ones with the proof of the First Daughter whoring it up…
Olivia: THAT FAMILY LOST A SON, A SON, AND YOU’RE—! These are children, you sick sons of bitches! Kids experimenting, and you’re exploiting them, that makes you child pornographers!
Mrs. Morgan: Are you out of your mind?!
Olivia: Kiddie porn, starring your very own flesh and blood!
Mr. Morgan: That’s insane! You have no evidence—!
Olivia: I’ll manufacture it! I’ll pay eyewitnesses, I’ll plant stories, I’ll do anything and everything to assassinate what little character you have, and I won’t give it a second thought because you two are the absolute worst kind of people; the kind who have everything, but still want more! I have the Head of every News Organization on speed dial, and they will run the HELL out of the story of the rich parents who sent their son to have sex with the President’s Daughter, just so they could blackmail the White House! And in the blink of an eye, everyone you now consider a friend will erase you from their memory, and every family in America will hate you, FOREVER. And forget about ever leaving your house again, because they will know your faces, because I will make sure they are etched into the American memory, because that is what I do, and there is no one better in the entire world at it than I am! (Beat as she pulls out two pieces of paper and pens) These are Non-Disparagement Agreements. Sign them, quickly, so I never have to see your faces ever again.
