Allison & Olivia

The current news cycle has me deeply considering the end of Season 7 again (please, I'm begging y'all to be adults and not ruin this by starting a dumb debate, but mods feel free to kill if need be).

The more I rewatch it the more difficult I find it to side with Allison for turning over Olivia. She did the right thing, there is no question of that, and pardoning Olivia was unethical. But when you look at the larger context, who did that decision help?

It's completely reasonable to imagine any of 4,000 people in the government subverting that pardon, you would see it all the time in a show like Homeland. That just seems like the course of due politics.

It often seems like Allison is more concerned with doing what feels right than what is actually best for people. No question she should have fired Olivia, but I still really don't understand whose life was made better by her destroying her family.

Even Jack, I think, in a similar situation would probably just off the person. Especially if it was that personal.

What would you have done in her specific situation?
