Olivia is a professional 'fixer' who makes problems go away before anyone even knows they exist. For the moneyed, the powerful and even the President, Olivia is a legend in her field.
Her spectacular success is mostly due to her unbreakable rule of always trust your gut.

Each week, as the team races against the clock to defuse intriguing new problems before they become full-blown disasters, they also have to deal with their own personal issues.
They may call themselves 'gladiators in suits', but little by little, Olivia and her crew begin to reveal the chinks in their armor. Don't let the occasional establishing shot of the real D.

Although we seem to see the White House just beyond these gates, don't believe it. But it's a spot that most visitors to the Huntington never see. Located outside of the main entrance, just west of the entrance drive, there is a smaller road which runs to the west and leads to the white, marble mausoleum of Henry Huntington.

Many cast members looked at the entire seventh season as one long goodbye — or an extra victory lap, per Bellamy Young, who says creator Shonda Rhimes had initially eyed an earlier end date. So much so, Joshua Malina tried to put a moratorium on sentimentality. Though, he admits, that all changed on wrap day. The final scene filmed — which may or may not actually be the last moment of the series — was shot within QPA previously OPA , and there was not a dry eye on the Los Angeles-based set.
