- TriviaThis episode marks the first appearance of Sue Wilson since the final episode of season 5.
- GoofsIn the show, the House of Representatives deadlocks during the vote for president, and neither Meyer nor O'Brien are elected. The Senate elects Laura Montez for vice president. Since the presidency is vacant, Montez ascends to the presidency. In real life, this situation could not occur. If there is no president-elect certified by Inauguration Day, the Vice President-elect would serve as acting president. The House of Representatives would have to continue holding votes until there is a winner, at which point the acting president would go back to serving as vice president. It would not be possible for the House to allow the acting president to remain in office indefinitely.
- Quotes

Featured review
S7: A bit too "of the moment" at times, but consistently hilarious and sticks the landing perfectly
The seventh and final season of Veep opens with a connection to reality as it sees Selina land at the wrong airport, with all the press and crowds at the other one. This happened in Obama's campaign and it is used well here. Similarly (although some would disagree), there are themes of the campaign trails here that mirror that of the races running up to the 2016 election. All of this adds to its teeth, even though it comes with the small downside of making the show feel like yet another swipe at Trump, and is thus a bit "dated" out the box - only slightly mind you, and it doesn't stop it being funny anyway.
The writing is suitably exaggerated for the sake of humour, and it is consistently funny in the dialogue if not always the events. The cast deliver as they consistently have down the years, and Louis-Dreyfus in particular relishing the explicit dialogue and range of delivery. The writing is strong throughout, but I was particularly impressed by how well it brought it home, giving the characters conclusions, and being remarkably bittersweet at the same time. For fans of the show for all these years, it is a season that hits everything it has done well before and is a fitting end.
