Olivia Jerl is a Senior (Grade 12) who previously attended Clearwater High School in the Class of 2016, and one of the original thirteen regular characters. She is spunky, speaks whatever is on her mind, isn't afraid to upset people, and is even known to be somewhat conniving at times. She also has a side of her that is motherly, caring, and extremely protective of her friends. Sometimes, she takes her protectiveness too far to the point where she becomes overbearing or over-the-top. Her main storyline since her introduction has been about the abuse she gets from her mother and her frequent attempts to escape, which are all squashed by her extremely vindictive mother. Over the seasons, this takes a toll on her mental health and strains many of her friendships leaving her on the outs of her friend group. In the sixth season, she fakes a suicide and leaves town to finally escape this abuse, making a cameo appearance in the seventh season when she recruits her friends' help in securing her more money.

She used to be best friends with Scott Taylor and Eliza Bell, but they have drifted apart over the years. She is good friends with Ethan Webber, Brittany Brith, Alicia Borden, and Jamie and Moon Stellar. She has a long-time heated conflict with Sophie Clark which was never fully settled and has physically fought her on two occasions. She was previously in a long-term relationship with Troy Steele and faked a pregnancy to try and get him to stay with her, which failed. She is portrayed by Elizabeth Gillies.

Character History[]

Season 1[]

In Anything Could Happen, Scott calls her and asks if they can hang out. She seems very excited and asks him to meet her at her locker the next day.

In Love Drunk, she is in history class with Ethan and is miserable, asking him when the class is over. Ethan says he hopes it's soon because he hates history, which Olivia replies saying that everyone does. Ethan suggests he could set the classroom on fire so they never have to go back, but Olivia theorizes that they would just be moved to a different classroom, disappointing Ethan. An ornery Ethan asks Olivia if their teacher, Mr. Tucker, would notice if he threw a notebook at him, in which Olivia tells him most people would notice if they were hit with a large object. The two then start to throw various objects at each other until Mr. Tucker notices and halts their war, asking what they're doing. Olivia tries to avert trouble by jokingly saying they were reenacting a battle, but it is to no avail, as Mr. Tucker gives them detention. Olivia tells him she doesn't like detention, but he does not care. This leads to Ethan throwing his notebook at him, and Olivia immediately knows he is in deep shit, trying not to laugh as he is sent to the office.

She is later seen at lunch, where she steals Ethan's seat and tells him to sit next to Danielle instead when he is annoyed by this. After Ethan mentions he is looking for a mellow girlfriend, Olivia suggest he date Danielle, despite her being right there. When Danielle wants to hang out after school that day with Ethan, Olivia tries to bring up that Ethan has detention, but Ethan cuts her off and she rolls with it, despite not knowing what he's going to do about it. The next day, Olivia informs Ethan that Mr. Tucker was pissed he wasn't at detention and that she hopes he had fun with Danielle, because Principal Hanson is now looking for him. Principal Hanson shows up, almost on cue, and Olivia wishes him luck before walking off.

In Fuckin' Perfect, she's tutoring Ethan when Sophie comes up and asks them what's up. Olivia tells her that Ethan is failing so far, which Sophie isn't shocked by. Sophie then asks them to go to the mall later, and when Ethan says he has to go fishing with his dad, Olivia jokes and says he really means his mom won't let him. Ethan threatens to stab her with his pencil, and Sophie suggests her and Olivia have a girls' night instead. Olivia tells her that it doesn't work for her, and when Sophie suggests they just text all night like they usually do, Olivia says she can't text either. Sophie tries to figure out why, but Olivia gets overwhelmed and rushes off, telling Ethan to have fun failing his test, which he is offended by.

Olivia later calls Sophie that night and tells her that she and her dad are coming to pick her up so they can hang out at the beach. Sophie is confused, since Olivia said she couldn't hang that night, but Olivia explains she's at her dad's instead, and it's all good. Sophie asks her if she's not allowed to do stuff when she's at her mom's, and Olivia dodges the question and asks if she'd rather talk or hang. Sophie says she'd rather hang, and Olivia impatiently tells her to get her scrawny ass downstairs and hangs up, leaving Sophie very confused.

The next day in class, Olivia and Sophie are talking about how much fun they had the night prior. Olivia mentions how fun it was to terrorize the children at the beach and says she is proud of them. Abby then joins them and invites Olivia to a slumber party that night, but Olivia tells her she can't go, but tells them to have fun. Sophie asks her why she can't go, and Olivia won't answer, shutting Sophie down and telling her to drop it when she presses further. A frustrated Sophie then goes and asks Scott what goes down at Olivia's mom's house, and Scott tells her he promised Olivia he'd keep it a secret and won't break that.

Olivia is later sitting at her locker listening to music and doing homework when Sophie sits next to her and takes out her earbud, telling her she wants answers. Olivia finds this amusing, calling her detective Clark, but soon gets annoyed when Sophie asks her about her mother's house again. She tells Sophie that she doesn't want to tell Sophie, so she never will. Sophie is upset, and tells her that she can trust her, but Olivia calls her out and tells her that she can't since she ran to Scott behind her back. Sophie is shocked that Scott told on her, and Olivia explains that her and Scott have each other's backs and are like soul mates, and she can play him like a guitar. She warns Sophie not to bring it up again or she'll get angry for real and walks off, leaving Sophie mad.

Danielle later approaches Olivia at the end of the day at her locker and asks her about what happened between her and Sophie, since Sophie was saying Olivia was being a bitch. Olivia admits to being a bitch, but says that Sophie deserved it. Danielle asked her what happened, but Olivia tells her that she doesn't feel comfortable telling her. Danielle accepts this and wishes her luck before starting to walk away, but Olivia stops her and says she knows Danielle isn't the person to pry for information like Sophie is, so she feels better about letting her know. She then admits that her mother is abusive, but assures Danielle she is okay, since she spends most of her time at her father's house. She says that it's embarrassing to admit that, and Sophie just keeps trying to dig into her head, which Olivia hates. Danielle lets her know she'll tell Sophie to stop, and tells Olivia to take care of herself and text her, which Olivia says she'll do. Olivia then sighs as Danielle walks away, looking a bit embarrassed to have confessed her secret.

In Keep Holding On, Scott comes to see Olivia at her locker and she asks him what he wants. He jokingly asks if he can't just come visit his best friend, and Olivia jokes in a funny voice that he stop this outlandish behavior. Scott tells her that he wants to have a Walking Dead marathon that night and asks if she'd like to join. She asks him what day it is, and when he realizes it's Wednesday, he apologizes, since she'll be at her mother's house. She tells him it's alright and to just to watch Walking Dead with Eliza, but calls dibs to hang out with him that weekend. Scott tells her that he's going on a trip with his family all weekend, and Olivia asks him if he'd rather be with her. Scott agrees that he would, but sadly says the universe doesn't want them to hang out, which she agrees with. He asks her if she's going to be okay at home with her mom, and she tells him she'll be fine. He leaves for class, wishing her luck, and she says goodbye, but seems disappointed she can't see him more after school.

Olivia gets home from school that day and calls for her mother, only to see a note from her saying that she went out and to watch the kids. Olivia mutters to herself how her mother left her younger siblings home alone again, and answers the phone when it starts to ring. It is her mother, who is furious and says that Olivia is lucky she picked up the phone. Olivia asks her what's up, and her mother asks her what she had asked Olivia to do earlier that day. Olivia remembers that her mother asked her to take out the trash and forgot, and tells her mom that she's going to do it right away. Her mother is mad, and despite Olivia apologizing, calls Olivia one of the laziest people on earth and says that she should have left her out on the street. She warns Olivia she'll be home soon and that the house better be spotless, and Olivia understands, hanging up and becoming overwhelmed when one of her younger siblings starts to cry.

Olivia starts putting on her makeup in the school bathroom and overhears a conversation between Abby and Leah, where Leah is complaining about having the worst mother because she won't let her join a club. This sets Olivia off, who chastises Leah, saying that there are plenty of mothers who don't care about their kids at all and that her mom sounds like she's doing a good job. She then lets her rage boil over, calling Leah a slut as she storms out of the bathroom. Danielle overhears and pulls Olivia aside, asking if it was her yelling inside the bathroom. Olivia asks for Danielle to let her go, but Danielle persists, asking Olivia what is going on. Olivia breaks down and explains that she hears all these people who hate their mothers for caring too much, but all she wants in life is for her mother to care about her. Danielle tries to comfort her, and tells her that her mom does probably care, but Olivia suggests all she cares about is that Olivia watches her other children. She tells Danielle that she is her mother's slave and only uses Olivia because she can't do anything herself. Olivia then breaks free from Danielle's grip and storms off.

She gets home and tells her mother she brought them food. Her mother is suspicious as to where she got the money for it, and doesn't believe her when Olivia says it was from mowing their neighbor's lawn. She then asks her mother to sign her test, explaining that she failed it since she had to take care of her siblings while her mother was out and couldn't study. Her mother gets very angry, calling her dumb, but still can do better than an F. Olivia promises her she'll try harder, but assures her she still has a B in the class. Her mother doesn't care, and refuses to sign it, telling her to have fun when Olivia tells her she'll get a detention if she doesn't sign it. Olivia grows more frustrated and tells her she would have aced it if her mom didn't dump her kids on her all the time. This sets her mother off, and Olivia immediately regrets saying it, trying to leave the situation and go to her room, but her mother asks her to repeat what she said, but Olivia denies saying anything. Her mother tells her to shape up, and Olivia breaks again and tells her that she will when her mother does. This makes her mother snap, who throws a frying pan at Olivia's head, striking her hard and sending her to the ground. Her mother tells her to shut the fuck up and goes to her room while Olivia lies in pain on the ground. Olivia gets up and cuts her wrist with a kitchen knife, very upset over what just happened.

Olivia calls Eliza over after the incident to lean on, and admits to her that she self-harmed again. Eliza is disappointed to hear this, saying she hasn't done it in so long, and Olivia shows her the bleeding wound from the frying pan to explain why she did it. Eliza is shocked and tells her she can't live there any longer, but Olivia doesn't know what to do without any hard proof of her mother's abuse, explaining that despite all the cuts and bruises from her, she also has self-harm wounds that her mother could use against her. Olivia is lost on how to get proof, and Eliza suggests she set up a secret camera to catch the abuse happen, and then Olivia and her siblings would be taken out of the house. Olivia asks her what would happen to her siblings, and starts to second guess this idea when Eliza explains they would be put up for adoption rather than go with Olivia and her dad since he is not their biological father. Olivia explains to Eliza that her siblings are the only things keeping her alive, and Eliza tells her she has a choice to make, since she doesn't want them to have to go through what Olivia did. Eliza leaves her to figure out what she wants to do, and Olivia tells herself that if she loves someone to set them free, indicating that she's going to try and send her mother to prison.

She is setting up the camera when her mother comes in, and Olivia eggs her on to get the abuse on video, asking her to sign the test again. Her mother tells her to shut her mouth about it, and Olivia continues to ask her, raising her voice. Her mother tells her not to yell at her and slaps her so hard, Olivia falls to the ground. Her mother then yells at her, asking why she loves to make her life hell, and calling her a brat before leaving the room. Olivia gets up and smiles, happy she managed to get proof on camera. She tries to upload the video online, but stops herself when she hears her baby sister crying, admitting to herself that she can't lose her siblings. She closes the window and goes to tend to her sister.

105a — Olivia talking to Eliza about her mother.

The next day, she joins Eliza and Scott at lunch and tells Eliza she deleted the footage she got when Eliza asked her what happened. Scott asks her why, and Olivia explains she's not ready to say goodbye to her siblings yet, and can put up with her mother for a few more years until things become unsafe for them. Eliza asks her what she'll do if her mother hits the babies, and Olivia says she'll kill her mother, but tells her friends not to worry, and that she'll make it through, seemingly found strength in her siblings.

In This Is How I Disappear (1), she is at lunch with Scott and Brittany and after Brittany calls Scott out for checking out a guy, Scott asks them if it's weird for him to do that if he's straight. Olivia tells him it is weird for a straight guy to do that, and doesn't seem convinced when Scott says he's straight. After Brittany has him do an exercise where he pictures a guy and girl in his head and has no reaction to the girl, Olivia congratulates him for being gay. Scott doesn't want to believe it, so Olivia tells him to come with her to Pride after Jamie told her about it, and that people talk about their problems, so Scott might find some clarity. Scott accepts the offer, and the next day, they go together. Jamie mentions to the group there that she got Olivia to come to FilmFridays, and Olivia comments how awesome it sounds, saying Scott should go too. When they are doing their introductions, Olivia is shocked when Scott introduces himself as bi, and is thrown off when she has to go next. She introduces herself, saying she is straight, and then nudges Scott, showing how taken aback she was by his announcement.

At lunch the next day, Scott tells Jamie his parents won't let him go to Pride again, and Olivia asks what happened. Scott explains they think he's too young to be exposed to that stuff and Olivia comments that she didn't even know he was bi. Jamie calls Olivia out for saying this to the lunch table, since no one there knew, and Olivia realizes her mistake, apologizing to Scott for outing him. When Scott explains he'll have to keep his sexuality and any relationships he has with men a secret from his parents, Olivia apologizes, feeling terrible for her friend. At the end of the day, she is hanging out with Scott by their lockers and announces she has to go. Scott asks where she's going, and she feels bad saying it, but tells him she's going to Pride. Scott tells her he's coming with, and she is surprised, asking about his parents. Scott tells her that he'll lie about where he was and that they can't control his life.

In This Is How I Disappear (2), she is hanging out with Sophie and Scott, who was busted by his parents for going to Pride without their permission. Olivia suggests to Scott he doesn't have any other options except just not going, which shocks Scott, since Olivia is the rebel telling him to listen to his parents. She accuses Scott of being a goody-two-shoes and not being able to break the rules anyway, but Scott points out that he already did by going without his parents' permission. After Mr. Pendar agrees with Olivia and tells Scott not to go, Olivia tells him maybe it's for the best, but Scott doesn't agree.

In Dancing On My Own (1), she kneels in front of Scott while he is at his locker and asks him to homecoming, which he laughs at, but turns her down, mentioning he's going with his girlfriend, Harley. Olivia tells him she forgot about Harley and he should talk about her more, but accepts this and says she'll just go with Brittany and Chloe. Scott promises to still hang out with her at the dance, and she makes him agree to 3 dances together, which he agrees to. After Scott leaves, Moon approaches her and teases her about how much she wants Scott. Olivia admits it, and Moon tells her that she's had a crush on him for 3 years and she let some "crazy bitch" come steal him from her, planting the thoughts in Olivia's head that Scott owes her feelings in return. Olivia initially says that Scott just sees them as brother and sister, and she doesn't want to make things weird since she knows he would turn her down. Moon then manipulates her, saying eventually it will become too much for her to even be around him, and Olivia contemplates this as Moon leaves her alone with these thoughts.

Olivia takes what Moon said to heart and ends up enacting a sabotage plan in order to break up Scott and Harley. She approaches Harley at her locker and tells her that it's so cute her and Scott are dating. She then mentions that it's nice she can look past his anger issues and complaining, and mentions how Scott forced his last girlfriend to have sex with him. Harley is very distraught by all of this, and asks for Olivia to elaborate, but Olivia tells her she can't and makes her promise not to mention that she said anything before walking away, proud of her plan and happy with herself.

Trey walks up to Olivia at her locker later that day and Olivia starts confiding in him about her feelings for Scott, and how now that he's in a relationship, she just wants to rip his girlfriend's head off. Trey admits he can't relate, and Olivia explains further that she has had a crush on Scott since grade 7, and she was just about to get the courage to finally ask him out when Harley came into the picture. She expresses that she's frustrated with him because she's given him so many hints and clues that she likes him, but he never noticed any of them. Trey tells her that she can't expect people to read her mind, which she understands, and admits she just wants to cry being around him now. Scott breaks their conversation up and tries to hug Olivia, giddy about a test he passed, and is confused when Olivia is cold to him. She tells him she's fine when he asks her what's wrong, and tells him not to touch her, because he doesn't mean it. She then storms off, emotional, and leaves Scott very confused.

Olivia arrives at the dance later that night and approaches Eliza, asking her if she's seen Scott anywhere. Eliza tells her she hasn't seen him, but he did tell her Olivia was acting weird earlier. She asks Olivia if she's alright, and Olivia tells her something is wrong, and she just really needs to talk to Scott. Eliza tells her to ask Chloe, but she hasn't seen him either. After Gina makes a homophobic comment about Scott, Olivia stops Eliza from fighting on her by pulling her away to help her find Scott. Eliza tells her that Scott told her Olivia didn't want Scott to touch her, and is confused. Olivia admits to being confused about what she's feeling as well and says talking to Scott will help her figure things out. She then blames Harley for stealing Scott away from her and causing problems. Eliza tells her she can't blame Harley for this, and Olivia admits she needs someone to blame and looks sad as she ditches Eliza to search for Scott.

Olivia rushes to the bathroom, where she deviates a very nasty plan to break up Scott and Harley. She starts to cry when Brittany comes into the bathroom and makes up a story about Harley telling her never to speak to Scott again or she'll wish she didn't. Brittany believes her and Olivia continues that Harley has been nothing but mean to her and she's sick of it. Brittany offers to stay and comfort her, but Olivia tells her to go back to the dance and she'll be out soon. Once Brittany leaves, Olivia wipes away her fake tears and looks very happy that her plan is set in motion.

Her mother actually acts nice throughout the meal and when the awkward dinner is over, she is happy with the results. She talks to her mom afterwards and comments about how nice it was, but her mom tells her to shut up and explains that she acted nice so when Olivia tells Troy she abuses her, Troy won't believe her. She then whacks Olivia across the face when Olivia calls her a bitch and leaves. Olivia starts crying and says she knew it was too good to be true.

In Waiting For the End, Keith calls her and asks if she can come to his family's dinner party in place of Hank who he just broke up with. Olivia is hesitant at first, but after asking if there will be food, she agrees to go. At the party, they are getting food and Olivia brings up how he's single now, saying it's better than being in a relationship since you can fool around with more than one person. Keith suddenly likes being single and she jokes that he's a man-whore, but that it's sexy. She then sticks a cookie in his mouth and he kisses her out of nowhere. He panics and quickly leaves while Olivia stands there confused. The next night, he comes to her house to apologize for ditching her after the kiss.

They pinkie promise on it.

She then rolls her eyes when Abby returns and lightly flirts with Sophie. It is later revealed by Leah that Olivia told everyone about the kiss between Sophie and Abby.

She then calls him a lost cause and leaves in disappointment. He calls her later that night and tells her that he needs help, but he needs someone to be there for him. Olivia tells him that she'll be that person.

Season 3[]

In That's Not My Name, she and Scott are walking down the stairs and see flyers for Danielle's new band that she is having auditions for. Olivia comments how she loves Danielle, but notes how she always has to be the center of attention. They are both startled by a super loud bass drop from music playing in the other room and enter the library to see a bunch of flashing lights and huge speakers. Danielle tells them she's trying to get people's attention to audition and Olivia agrees that it's working, a little stunned by the measures she took. She leaves the library with Scott after Principal Hanson comes in and screams at Danielle.

In Girl On Fire, Olivia approaches Keith at his locker and notices his hickey, asking who it's from. Keith tells her he can't say until they are official, which he thinks is going to be soon. Olivia asks how long he's known him and he explains that they met on the first day of class since they were science partners. Olivia is surprised at how far they've gotten in 3 weeks and Keith pulls out a box of condoms from his bag, saying he expects it to go even farther that night. Olivia is apprehensive for him to have sex with someone he barely knows, but he assures her he knows him well and doesn't need permission to have sex with him before winking at her and walking away.

Olivia and Brittany see Keith the next day talking to a boy and after the boy leaves, they approach him and Olivia asks how their night prior went, asking if it was action packed. Keith admits he might have taken someone's virginity the night before and while Brittany celebrates with him, Olivia tells Keith she hopes he made it special for him and didn't just do it in a car like he did previously. Keith reminds her they don't speak of that and she apologizes and says she forgot. Keith says they're official now and gives them his name, but warns that he's not ready to be out yet, so Olivia promises to keep her lips sealed and walks off with Brittany, unaware that Keith just lied to them this entire conversation.

Olivia is later seen eating lunch with Angel and Scott and Moon approaches them, very upset and asks what's wrong with Eliza. Angel mentions how she's been bitchy ever since dating Dex, which Olivia says is odd because he's the nicest guy ever.

In Wake Me Up, she and Troy are leaving school and she mentions how their six month anniversary is coming up in three days. Troy comments that she's not going to believe the date he planned for them and she gleams with happiness due to it being a night she is at her father's, meaning she can go out. Scott walks up to them and asks Olivia if they're still on the next morning, and she says that they are and then invites Troy to join them, but he declines. He kisses her and heads off to his bus, leaving Olivia confused. Olivia and Scott watch as he talks to Brendan, which they are surprised by, not knowing they were friends. They lament how Brendan beat up Scott the previous year and is a part of a gang, which Scott mentions he hopes Troy isn't a part of. Scott leaves as Olivia continues to watch them talk and looks very worried.

As Olivia and Scott hang out the next morning, they notice Troy and Brendan hanging out again, and Scott tries to heed Olivia's concerns by saying they could have just been friends for a while without Troy mentioning it to her. Olivia's mind starts to wander and she comments how bad it would be to find out that her boyfriend is a drug dealer two days away from their anniversary. Olivia goes to spy on what they're talking about and hides behind a bush, capturing the attention of Danielle who is walking by. Danielle asks what she's doing and Olivia shushes her and yanks her down into the bush with her where she explains why she's spying on Troy. They both listen and hear Troy and Brendan shit talking Scott and how Troy doesn't want Olivia to be friends with him because he's gay. Danielle is shocked and goes to confront them. She tells Brendan off and the two then storm off, leaving Olivia with Troy. Olivia asks what his problem with Scott is and Troy explains he just doesn't want Olivia hanging out with him because he doesn't like being around those people. Olivia calls him homophobic, and he says that he isn't, he just doesn't understand why someone would want to be that way. Olivia mentions to Troy all the horrible things Scott has gone through due to his sexuality and asks why he would choose for that to happen, and Troy says it is for attention. Olivia tells him not to talk to her and storms off.

Later, Olivia is pulling Keith through the halls to find Troy and have him explain to Troy why being gay isn't a choice. Keith asks why she doesn't have Scott do it, and she explains it is because Keith is way more comfortable in his sexuality. Olivia asks Keith why being gay isn't a choice to Troy and Keith answers, but Troy just gets annoyed and tells her to let him have his own opinion. Olivia explains LGBT right mean a lot to her because of her multitude of gay friends, but Troy cuts her off and tells her that he doesn't have to be friends with him just because she wants him to be, using a gay slur. Olivia and Keith both leave, disgusted with Troy. Troy finds Olivia after class and tries to talk to her, but she doesn't want to hear it after he called her friend a slur. After she refuses to listen, Troy comes out to Olivia as bisexual, shocking her. He tells her he didn't want to be and didn't tell her because he didn't want to lose her. She explains she loves him more now that she knows the real him, saying the L word for the first time. He tells her that he loves her too and they kiss.

They leave the school and Troy goes to apologize to Keith as Danielle asks Olivia if she's still with her asshole boyfriend. Olivia explains he's just misunderstood and was afraid to be himself. She explains that she's so messed up, and Troy is her rock. Danielle tells her not to let him go and Olivia says she doesn't plan on it as she watches him lovingly.

In Wonderwall (1), she is at Dex's surprise party and jumps out to wish him happy birthday as he and Scott walk into his house. She later is seen being excited to start drinking along with everyone else but Eliza.

In Ray of Light, she is in science class with Ethan and Moon and is confused while combining chemicals. Class ends and Mrs. Lib reminds the class that parent-teacher conferences are that night. Moon comments how her mom is coming even though she told her not to and Ethan says his parents aren't coming. Olivia says there's no way she'd let her mother into the building, but as she is about to leave the room, Mrs. Lib stops her and asks if her mother is coming in. Olivia tells her she isn't, and Mrs. Lib explains she's going to email her and tell her to come in since Olivia is already failing the course and they can come up with a plan to get her on track. Olivia panics and tells her that her mom will be there and Ethan says in the hallway that it isn't going to go well, which Olivia agrees with, looking terrified. Olivia is walking with Troy, who wants to Skype that night since he misses her, but Olivia says she can't because her mom is coming in for conferences. Brittany and Scott join them and overhear, both shocked and scared of what will happen. She says that her father can't come in because he works Tuesday nights and knows she's going to get beat to shit for failing a class. Her friends offer to help her, but Olivia says she just has to deal with the cards dealt to her and walks off looking distressed.

Olivia is later seen dragging Eliza into the bathroom and explaining that she has to end her mother's abuse once and for all before she starts doing it to her younger siblings. After saying how she can't take it any longer, she calls child services and when Eliza is scared that things could go wrong, Olivia says she'll take the risk to save her brother and sister. She then reports her mother to CPS, looking hopeful. As she leaves the school with Troy and Eliza, she is approached by a policeman who explains that an anonymous caller reported abuse in her household and she's going to have to go with them. Troy is shocked that someone would do that, and Olivia admits to him that it was her who did it and finally took control of the situation. She hugs Eliza and kisses Troy, who offer her luck and their help if needed and leaves with the policeman who explains she won't be returning home until the investigation is complete, making Olivia very happy.

Olivia is waiting in her living room as the cop comes out of the room with her mother and says they want to interview her next. After the cop goes back into the room, Olivia's mom grabs her arm and lets her know there's a recorder hidden in the room and if Olivia says anything about the abuse, she will stab her father in the head. Knowing she would do it, Olivia denies any abuse to the cop as she looks very sad and looks around the room for the recorder, but to no avail.

As the cop leaves, Olivia's father runs up the driveway and tells her that no one was supposed to know about this, and Olivia denies having any idea who called it in. The cop tells Olivia she will be staying with her father until the investigation is complete. The cop leaves and Olivia's mother exits the house and tells them they won't get away with this, showing them a paper for child custody. She explains she's going to get Olivia full-time without allowing any visits from her father. Olivia grows very upset, telling her to burn in hell and that she can't do that. Her mother tells her to shut up and says she knows it was her who called, so she should enjoy her time with her father now while she can. Her mother goes back inside and Olivia looks very scared, but her father assures her he won't let that happen and he can file for custody too. She starts to cry regardless and he holds her, looking very shaken.

She later is with her father and Troy at her father's house and they both assure her they won't let her go back to her mother and will win the custody case. Olivia doesn't seem so sure and says she just wants to be with them two forever. They hug her as she looks very depressed.

In Dark Horse (1), she is at The Hub hanging out with Scott and Angel when Sadie barges into the place and calls Scott out for ruining her relationship.

In Forget Forever (1), Olivia is at the mall with Danielle and Angel, and after Angel asks about their Thanksgiving plans, Olivia explains this will be her first Thanksgiving with just her and her father and she's excited to not have to put up with her mother for it. After Danielle complains about having to have dinner with her mother's new boyfriend and his daughter, Olivia tells her they can't be that bad, but Danielle disagrees and wants to go to someone else's dinner instead. Olivia tells her to chin up and be a good daughter and go since if he's as bad as she says he is, him and her mother won't last very long anyways.

In Do What U Want, Moon approaches Olivia and Alicia, who are talking in the hallway, and asks if it's bad if she likes a guy she barely knows. Olivia explains that she and Troy didn't know each other before they started going out and sometimes you just know when you meet a person it's meant to be. Olivia is then delighted to hear the boy she's talking about is the new foreign exchange student. Troy comes up and asks what they're talking about as he kisses Olivia and Alicia asks if he believes in love at first sight. Troy tells them he loved Olivia the minute he met her. She kisses him again and tells him Moon might have found her first boyfriend and to go for it.

Ikyc2 — Olivia having a nightmare about her mother.

In I Know You Care, Olivia is asleep in her bed and her dad comes in and shakes her awake. She awakens, startled, and says she just had the worst dream about her mother. Her dad hands her a glass of orange juice and offers to take her to therapy in order to deal with all the trauma she went through at her mother's house. Olivia denies needing it, saying she's happy to be living with him. Her father reminds her that this is temporary and after her mother gets cleared from child services, she'll go right back to her. Olivia says she understands this, and wants to spend every moment there while she can before she is taken away. As she heads for the shower, she trips over garbage all over the place and mentions that his place needs to be cleaned, but he chuckles that this is a decade worth of trash and they wouldn't even be able to make a dent. She continues to the bathroom and comments how great it is to wake up without any bruises as she happily looks at herself in the mirror.

In school, Mr. Stein stops her and hands her a letter that was delivered to the school for her from her mother. She looks at it as Chloe and Moon walk over and ask what it is. She says it pertains to her GPA and is to be given to her dad, noting that this can't be good. After class, she goes to her locker and tries to secretly open the letter, but is interrupted by Troy, who comes up and wraps his arms around her. She tries to hide the letter, but Troy sees it and reads it, revealing that it says that CPS dropped the charges against her mother due to minimal evidence and that she will be suing for full custody of Olivia. Troy reveals that the letter is from her mother's lawyer and Olivia says she's been planning this for a while, she bets. She gets very upset since she's so happy living with her father, and now her mom is going to take that away from her too. She sounds desperate as she asks how much more she is expected to take. She starts crying and Troy holds her and she vows to not let her mother win the custody case, but acknowledges that she doesn't think anyone will be able to stop her since she always wins. Troy tells her she won't win this time since Olivia has so many people on her side this time. Olivia hopes he's right, but doesn't look too convinced.

The next day, Keith approaches Olivia in class who has a videotape that she explains is her mother's lawyer's statement for court. She explains to Keith what is going on and Keith is lost as to why her mother even wants her so badly since she doesn't seem to like her. Olivia explains that her mother needs her because she does everything for her such as watching her kids and cleaning the house. Keith comes up with the idea that Olivia should let her mother know she won't be doing that stuff for her anymore if she wins the case and she should do something that would make her mother not want her anymore. Olivia ponders this idea as class starts. Olivia later is pacing the hallway alone, having memories of the awful things her mother did to her playing through her mind along with the memories of her cutting herself. She snaps and runs outside, seeing a couple of her friends around a car. She grabs the keys to the car from Angel's hands and gets in, driving off and speeding down the road towards a brick wall. She crashes into the wall and the airbag is seen deploying as her friends watch in shock.

She is seen unharmed at the police station with an irate Troy, who tells her this was not how to deal with the situation. Olivia tells him that her mother won't want back a girl who steals cars and crashes them. Troy reminds her she's going to have a criminal record and her father is going to have to pay fines for what she did, but she tells him she'll just explain it was an accident. He tells her it doesn't matter if it was an accident, since she still stole the car. Olivia apologizes, but gets very upset, explaining she was willing to do anything not to go back to her mother's house. She starts to cry and Troy holds her, telling her they'll figure it out. She tells him she'd rather be jailed living with her dad than free living with her mom. A little while later, she is sitting alone while her father and Troy are talking to the police when her mother comes up from behind her and asks if she enjoyed her joy ride. Olivia asks what she's doing there, and her mother tells her she wouldn't be a responsible mother if she didn't come check on her daughter after having a run-in with the law. Olivia tells her that she understands if she doesn't want her to come back home, but her mother sees right through her plot and tells her she won't get away that easily. Olivia asks why she wants her so badly, and her mom explains that she wants to see Olivia hurt like she is because she was fired from her job. She says she can get her job back if she wins custody and shows her boss that CPS was mistaken the whole time. Olivia tells her that she won't win, but her mom points out that her fender bender was done under her father's supervision and Olivia has never had a run-in with the law under her care. Olivia understands her mistake as her mother tells her that her plan made it easier for her to get Olivia back and tells her that she'll see her in court before leaving as Olivia cries to herself, horrified with what she did.

In Same Love, Olivia sees Eliza looking upset in the hall and asks what's wrong. When Eliza tells her that Dex is annoying, Olivia asks what he did this time, and Eliza explains that he doesn't seem excited to see her anymore like he does with other people and she had to tell him to stop talking to Scott because they were getting too close. Olivia is shocked by this and calls her a cling monster, saying that is never attractive to people. Eliza tells her she doesn't want him to leave her, and Olivia tells her he won't if Eliza stops being crazy and she can't dictate who he's friends with. Olivia tells her that guys need guy time, and Dex and Scott are like brothers so Dex is probably upset that Eliza told him to cut him off. Eliza tells her he doesn't need bro time, he needs her time and he's still not over his brother's death, so he needs her. Olivia tells her guys mourn differently and to just show him she's there for him and he'll come to her when he's ready. She tells her again not to tell him who he can be friends with and Eliza rolls her eyes as they walk off together.

Olivia motions for Eliza to join her and Alicia in class and Eliza tells them that Dex blew her off for Eric. Olivia reminds her she doesn't own him and offers for Eliza to meet her at the beach that night to hang with her while she does her community service hours from the stolen car incident. Eliza is initially hesitant, but Olivia reminds her it's better than staying home doing nothing. Eliza decides to go, but Alicia passes and Olivia tells Eliza she and Alicia are partners for the lab and to find someone else. Eliza finds Brendan and as they hit it off, Olivia watches suspiciously.

That night at the beach, Olivia is picking up trash as Eliza arrives and Olivia complains that they won't let her have electronics, so she can't listen to music and has three hours to go. Eliza jokes that this is why people don't crash other people's cars and Olivia justifies her actions by saying she thought she had to at the time. Eliza is hit in the head with a frisbee, which is revealed to be Brendan's. As they talk again, Olivia notices they want her to go, and picks up trash elsewhere. Once she notices them getting too friendly, Olivia comes over and asks Eliza to help her, causing Brendan to leave. Eliza is mad Olivia did that, but Olivia calls Eliza out for having double standards as Dex isn't allowed to talk to other girls, but Eliza is here flirting heavily with a boy. Eliza denies flirting, but Olivia tells her she wonders what else would have happened if she didn't come over since Brendan already flashed her his body. Eliza tells her she's leaving and to have fun cleaning up other people's garbage, causing Olivia to look extremely angry.

In Misery Business (1), Olivia is at lunch with her friends and when Keith and Scott are having a private conversation about their relationship, they are surprised when they see everyone was listening, and Olivia tells them it's what they do. As Keith plans to meet Scott's parents, he said they will fall in love with him and Olivia wishes them good luck, knowing it won't go well and gives Scott a reassuring smile as he looks nervous. She joins Scott at his locker later and asks if he's actually going to come out to his parents. Scott tells her he's not sure and is lost on what to do, so Olivia tells him Keith can't make him do it if he's not ready. Scott reminds her how ignorant they were when he tried to join pride club their freshman year, and Olivia suggests maybe they've opened their minds since then. Olivia offers to talk to Keith about it and says it's shitty of him to expect Scott to come out for him. She goes up to Keith and tells him it is a big issue for Scott to come out to his parents and he knows how homophobic they are. Keith explains he doesn't want to be someone's dirty little secret again, but Olivia asks what he would do if Scott's parents ban him from seeing Keith ever again. When Keith can't come up with an answer, she tells him he didn't think this through and doesn't care about what Scott thinks about this, as long as he gets what he wants. Keith gets mad and tells her to mind her own business for once since this is between him and Scott. He slams his locker and tells her not to test him, but Olivia isn't scared and jokes his parents might buy him a bodyguard to keep her 30 feet away. She laughs and starts to walk away, but warns him not to fuck up Scott's life, or she will fuck up his way worse.

In Misery Business (2), after learning Keith outed Scott to his parents, which resulted in Scott getting kicked out of his house, Olivia tracks down Keith at school the next morning and slams him into his locker, reminding him that she warned him not to ruin Scott's life. Keith tries to explain himself, but Olivia doesn't listen and tells him he needs to pay for what he did and won't let him off the hook for this. She tells him that she hopes one day he realizes ruining other people's lives doesn't make him feel any better about his own and leaves, still furious.

In I Write Sins Not Tragedies, Olivia looks mad and Angel walks up to her, asking what's wrong. Olivia points out Keith, who is talking and laughing with a group of people and is aggravated that Keith had no repercussions for what he did to Scott, and is just as popular. Olivia says he's going to make him pay and says she warned him she would get revenge if he did anything to Scott, and she keeps her promises. Angels warns her maybe not to fight fire with fire, but Olivia is determined. She later finds Angel before class and tells her she has the perfect plan and reveals she made a fake profile on a gay dating app and has been talking to Keith all morning on it and has him obsessed with this fake guy. Angel asks if she's going to get a nude from him and spread it across the school, but Olivia instead wants to continue to talk to him until he is in love with this fake man and then break his heart, just like he did to Scott. Angel refuses to participate, as she thinks it will make them just as bad as Keith, and Olivia gets annoyed, saying she's just sticking up for her friend, but says she will just do it on her own and leaves, annoyed.

Later, however, Angel overhears Keith lying about what happened to Kat and tells Olivia she's in on the plan after all. Olivia explains to her where she is in her plan, and Angel sounds slightly worried, but Olivia tells her it will be okay. After logging into the fake account, Angel decides to delete it and Olivia confronts her about this the next day. Angel explains this is Scott's fight to fight, not theirs. She explains that Scott is over it and doesn't want revenge, so they need to do the same. Angel then pushes for Olivia to talk to Scott about this instead of just planning revenge for him, and Olivia understands, going and talking to Scott.

Aine1 — Olivia looking proper before the trial.

In Almost Is Never Enough, Olivia is standing in front of her father's fireplace going over her testimony for the upcoming custody trial with Troy. Olivia grows frustrated and says it doesn't matter, since her mother will win no matter what. Troy tells her that with that attitude she will, and reminds her the evidence they have against her, which Olivia reminds him is just pay stubs. Troy is confident that if they prove her mother is never home anyways, that the court will leave her with her father. Olivia instead just wants to tell the courts she's an abusive bitch, but Troy tells her they have no evidence of that and her mother will have retorts ready to go if she brings that up. Olivia is upset since her word has to count for something, but Troy tells her it doesn't in court since they will believe a 35 year old business woman over a 16 year old any day. Olivia looks defeated and rests her head on Troy's shoulders, saying she should enjoy the time here while she can since she's about to be headed back to hell. He tells her to stay strong and they can win this and kisses her head, but she looks like she doesn't believe him.

At the courthouse the next day, she is sitting looking very fancy with Troy, Ethan, and Brittany by her side. She exclaims that she is so nervous, she can barely breathe and might pass out on the stand. Ethan tells her to calm down and that it'll be okay, but she tells him she can't calm down since this is the most important day of her life. Brittany tells her she can get through anything and asks why Scott and Eliza aren't there for her today. She tells them they're up to their own stuff nowadays, looking glum. Her dad walks over and says they're ready to start, and Olivia reflects on how after this trial, her life will either be amazing or complete shit. As everyone enters the courtroom, Olivia is pulled back by her mother who says it's good to see her. Olivia says they both know that's not true and asks what she wants. She asks Olivia what she wants for dinner later in the week since after the piece of evidence she got against her father, there's no way she'll lose the case. Olivia calls her bluff, and her mother asks if she's ever bluffed in her entire life and walks into the courtroom, leaving Olivia scared. Her father comes and asks what that was about and Olivia lets him know she has something against him and asks what it is, since she doesn't want to be shocked later. Her father has no idea what it could be and walk into the court room, with Olivia extremely nervous.

As the case begins, her lawyer sees she is very visibly shaken and pats her shoulder, telling her everything will be fine. She fills him in on what her mother said, but he says she's bluffing and he won't let her win. Olivia points out it's hard to trust a lawyer she found on craigslist, and he agrees, but then reminds her not to bring up the abuse. She tells him without it, they don't have much of a case, and he tells her to trust him and he has a plan. At the end of the first day, they are all leaving and Olivia is surprised her mother didn't bring up anything against her father and was bluffing. Her lawyer tells her not to forget there's a whole extra day and she could bring it up then. As the lawyer leaves and her friends offer their support, Olivia thinks she's waiting to play her cards until the next day. Her father tells her there's nothing for her to have against him, and Olivia doesn't quite believe him as they all go out for dinner.

The next day, everyone returns to the courtroom and Olivia's mom takes the stand, scaring Olivia. She says she has evidence that will show Neil Jerl is not fit to have custody of his daughter and plays a video of him at a party smoking weed and his friends telling him to let his wife have his daughter, which he says is a tempting offer if it lets him smoke more. Olivia has tears well in her eye as her father looks horrified. Olivia's father tells their lawyer to do something, so he asks for Olivia to take the stand, but before she can, she starts sobbing in response to the video and storms out of the courtroom. Troy follows her out and says it isn't over yet, but Olivia disagrees and says she's tired of fighting and doesn't have anything left in her. He holds her as she continues to cry over the video.

They all return to the courtroom and Olivia's friends hold her hands as the judge gives his verdict, which is custody to her mother with limited visitation from her father. Olivia immediately loses her cool and shouts about her mother's abuse, running up to the judge, but he calls the case closed and leaves as Olivia breaks down completely, her mother calling her foolish as she does so. Her father tries to comfort her, but Olivia tells him that she thought she had one parent who cared about her, but he cares more about weed. He tries to hold her, but she pushes him off and Troy and Ethan keep him away from her, telling him to get out. Her lawyer apologizes to her and she says she has two more years living in complete hell. Brittany mentions there has to be something they can do, but Olivia says she's tried everything and nobody cares about her, not the court or her parents. Troy reminds her that they all do and they all surround her in a group hug.

Troy is later dropping Olivia off at her mother's house, and she says she doesn't want to go in. Troy reminds her that in two years, the two of them can get out of here together, which she says is 730 long days. He hands her his necklace so that he can be with her and she tells him that she loves him. She kisses him and then sadly goes inside, where her mother said she assumed she was gonna kill herself. Olivia says that she unfortunately didn't and goes out with friends, leaving Olivia to watch her siblings. As her mother is leaving, she turns back around and slaps Olivia so hard, it echoes throughout the room and tells her it was for making her look like a fool in the courthouse. Olivia drops to her knees as her mother leaves and keeps repeating that she can't do it as she cries and the babies both start to cry as well.

Season 4[]

In Know Your Enemy, Eliza bumps into Olivia after hurriedly leaving the chem lab and in doing so, knocks Olivia's books out of her hand. Olivia is initially annoyed, and tells her to watch out, but softens up and hugs Eliza after she apologizes. Eliza asks how her break was, and Olivia informs her that she was at her mother's house every single day. She changes the subject and asks why Eliza was leaving the chem lab so quick, wondering if she was making out with her side bae. Eliza tells her she was just getting homework she missed, and Olivia asks how things are with her and Brendan and if they are still a thing. Eliza doesn't give her any details and Olivia guilts her by saying she thought they told each other everything, but sees now Eliza has a perfect boyfriend and an asshole she neglects him for. Eliza tells her she's not neglecting Dex and to calm the shade. Olivia points out she's definitely betraying Dex, which upsets Eliza, who explains she doesn't tell Olivia things anymore because she always judges her. Olivia tells her what she's doing is selfish and dumb and she should break up with Dex or end things with Brendan. Eliza tells her she loves Dex, but he's been different since his brother died and she hates having to fight for his attention with Scott. Olivia tells her to dump him, asking if she even has feelings anymore. Eliza says she does and can't live without him, and Olivia tells her it's not fair she's stringing Dex along while finding passion with Brendan. Eliza says they've only banged four times and Olivia tells her it's wrong, but that she won't tell anybody. Olivia then notices Dex and Brendan laughing and talking together and beams, finding it hilarious that Eliza's boyfriend and side piece are becoming friends. She calls it karma and laughs to herself as she leaves Eliza panicked.

In Ain't It Fun, she is walking into school with Troy, Ethan, and Candace, who brings up they should double date. Olivia explains she's not allowed out much, which Candace says is dumb. Ethan leaves with Candace, knowing Olivia doesn't want to explain her situation again. Troy mentions how unfair it is that Olivia can't do anything at her mom's, especially now since she's there every day. She tells him she's just going to lock herself in her room all summer. Troy notices a bruise on her arm and asks if her mother is hurting her again, which Olivia says was inevitable. She tells him to drop it since school is the only place she can get away from her and doesn't want to talk about her here too. Troy offers to try to help, but she tells him there's nothing he can do and to drop it, leaving very frustrated.

In class, Moon is catching Olivia up on Scott's new homelessness, which she finds very sad. Moon asks if they even talk anymore, and Olivia explains that Scott has more popular friends now, and she doesn't have time to hang out with people anymore, so they drifted apart, but she still cares for him. Their teacher comes over and gives Olivia a pass to go home early, signed by her father. She finds him in the office and he tells her he has to talk to her about something important that may get her out of her mother's house. She excitedly leaves the school with him. They go to a restaurant where Olivia hopes this is good since she knows how mad her mother will be if she finds out she left with her dad. Her dad then tells her he doesn't think her mother is actually her mother. Olivia is very confused and he explains that she knows that he and her mother had a one-night stand which ended up with her mother pregnant, which is why they married. He then explains that they lied to her, and he didn't know she was pregnant until Olivia was already born. He explains that he thinks her mother took her from one of her friends who couldn't care for her and then called him and told him it was his so he would help her raise it. He says he doesn't have proof, just a lot of suspicions he plans on trying to get evidence for. Olivia realizes it makes sense why her mother would hate her so much more than her other children, since she's not really her's and decides to look for evidence on her own.

At home later that day, she is on the phone with Troy and looking for pictures of her as a newborn, which she can't find, gaining hope that maybe her father's conspiracy is true. She tells Troy it'll be bittersweet if it's true, since it will mean her father isn't her father, and social services will take her away from them both and she could get adopted by anybody. Troy tells her at least she won't be abused and Olivia is lost on what to do, so Troy tells her to meet him and Ethan at the Hub since her mother won't be home for a little while longer. She tells him she's watching her sister, and he tells her to bring her. As she enters the Hub, Scott is angrily leaving and bumps into her and her sister. She asks him if he's okay and he angrily tells her he's perfect before storming off, confusing Olivia. Troy informs her she almost missed a fight between Scott and Keith, and she says she doesn't want to hear about it and Keith deserves to be castrated. Olivia sits down with her sister and Ethan tells her Troy filled him in and her situation is crazy. Olivia discusses how things could get way better or way worse if it turns out to be true and is scared of getting adopted and leaving Florida and all her friends. She says she's not going to social services since they didn't do anything for her last time, so she's going straight to a lawyer and plans to have her father sue her mother. Troy tells her that her father is a bit of a coward and might not do it, but she tells him that he came to her with this for a reason and is ready to fight. Her sister then starts to cry and Olivia tries to comfort her as Troy and Ethan seem unconvinced her plan will work.

She returns home and sees her mother standing there, becoming horrified as she knows she is pissed. Her mother screams at her, asking where she was and not believing she just went to get food. She asks why her photo albums are everywhere and when Olivia doesn't answer, she slaps her. Olivia tells her that she knows she's not actually her daughter, and her mother denies it being true. Olivia tells her she couldn't find any pictures of her as a newborn and her mother leaves and comes back with an older photo album, which contains these photos. Olivia is shocked and saddened and her mother calls her stupid and when Olivia gives her sass, she pushes Olivia down the stairs, hurting her badly. Her mother then tells her never to leave the house without her permission again and Olivia cries in pain, saying her last shot was just taken away.

In Glory and Gore, Olivia is talking to Eliza and Brittany when Dex comes up and calls out Eliza for cheating on him with Brendan. After Eliza starts calling out Scott for telling Dex, Olivia tries to get her to stop and gets very angry at Eliza after she tells Dex that Scott has been in love with him since they met. Olivia gets very annoyed with the amount of drama going on and holds Eliza back as she gets extremely furious. After Dex breaks up with Eliza and him and Scott storm off, Olivia tells Eliza it was very low for her to tell Dex about Scott. Eliza counters that by saying Scott told Dex about her and Brendan, asking what she was supposed to do. Olivia tells her she should have admitted to her mistakes and Scott deserves better and then leaves Eliza along with Brittany, disappointed.

In With Every Heartbeat, Olivia is in class and after their teacher starts handing back tests, Olivia says she knows she failed. After she gets it back, she sees she was right and got an F.

After Brittany gets her test back and Mr. Stein announces she was the only A in the class, Olivia calls her a teacher's pet.

In Bed of Lies, Eliza pulls Olivia aside in the hall and asks when everyone started to hate her. Olivia tells her it was since she became a mega bitch. Eliza asks since when she was a mega bitch and Olivia explains she cheated on her boyfriend, was awful Scott, and has treated her friends badly. Eliza admits to doing that stuff, but says she's still the same Eliza. Olivia tells her the Eliza she knows wouldn't have abused her boyfriend or cheated. She then tells Eliza people have reason to turn this against her when she can't believe she's being perceived this way. She then tells her to try and fix things. She later sees Eliza crying while with Troy and asks her if everything is okay. Eliza tells her a new problem has arose and Olivia shoos Troy away so they can talk. Eliza reveals to Olivia that she thinks she's pregnant and after Eliza lists off the symptoms she has, Olivia tells her not to freak out since she might not be. Eliza then reveals she is also late on her period, but Olivia is still confident she's not pregnant. Eliza then reveals that the father could be Dex or Brendan and Olivia says it doesn't get worse than this. Eliza and Moon then plan to take it together after school, and Olivia says she wants to be there, but can't because of her mom, which Eliza understands.

In Ain't No Rest For the Wicked (1), she reveals that she is on the dance committee to give her an excuse to get out of her mother's house and initially plans to go mini-golfing on a double date with Troy, Brad, and Alicia, but drops out due to her mother.

In Ain't No Rest For the Wicked (2), Olivia tells Danielle, Abby, and Peyton that she wishes she could come to the dance to see their performance, but knows they're going to do great. After Peyton asks why she isn't coming, Olivia says there was no way her mother would let her go and wishes them luck again before leaving.

In Glitter in the Air, she is outside after school talking with Scott, Hank, Chloe, and Jamie discussing how someone crashed into Hank's car and drove off, which Olivia finds awful. After Keith arrives and admits to it, she says this is a new low, even for him. After Scott and Keith get into an argument and Keith slaps Scott, Olivia is shocked and helps Scott, but is even more shocked when Dex comes and knocks out Keith, starting an argument between Hank and Dex. Olivia tells them all to take a breather. She then follows them all to the office when Principal Hanson comes out and tells them to come in and tell him what happened.

In All About You, Olivia is freaking out over Scott and Dex finally getting together and tells them they are the cutest thing she has ever seen. After Alicia calls them a power couple, Troy admits she's right and tells Olivia they've been dethroned, which makes her laugh and she hugs Troy, elated for her friends.

In Dream Catcher, after Eliza blames her abortion on Moon and Julia starts a protest against Moon for the abortion, Olivia approaches Moon and tells her she is so sorry this is happening to her and almost everyone is behind her decision and thinks Julia is messed up for doing what she's doing. Moon tells her it wasn't her who had the abortion and is just taking the fall, but won't tell her who it was when Olivia asks. Olivia tells her that Moon always sticks up for everyone else and it's time for her to stand up for herself.

In Ultraviolence, Olivia finds Eliza in the hallway and tells her she's on a whole new level of bitch after pinning her abortion on Moon, telling her it was leaked by Clearwater Secrets that the abortion was actually her's.
