You know what I find a little bit hilarious, given how different we are and the different reasons we watch this show? I think my favorite ep of the season, taken as a whole, is also 7x16. There was just kind of nothing not perfect in that episode, and it only gets better each time I watch it. Now for pure ship, 7x19 is absolutely my favorite, because at least to my way of thinking, that's when Jack's fuzzy Renee feelings finally busted out full force and my ship became canon from both perspectives. So 7x19 will always be way high up there, but for everything involved in TV awesomeness, 7x16 wins. Yep.
Rewatching with my Larry love in full bloom was nothing short of fabulous. It was so great to go back and adore him even when I'm still thinking, "Oh leave Jack alone, you big cockblocking wanker!" or "Don't talk to Renee that way, dillweed." Totally nothing but love.
And yes to Allison's correct choice, both as a parent and a president, to let Olivia go down. She broke my heart in that final conversation with Ethan. I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic that they'll use her better in S8.
ETA: Oops just read your response below. So 7x08 is your favorite. Well I still love 7x16 above that one, for reasons I'm sure it's pretty easy for you to put together;) That still doesn't change my amusement at the degree to which my conversion to obsessive Larry!love changed my view of this entire season.
