Confused over Olivias attitude over Mellie/Marcus, Quinn/Charlie, Fitz


She was acting jealous and bitter last night. It seems like she envied Mellie, was bitter and jealous about Fitz and his latest. She told Quinn to stop making excuses and be with the man than loves her. She could be with Fitz right now and have what Mellie and Quinn have so why is Olivia all full of attitude?

reply

That's what I want to know. Nothing's stopping her from being with Fitz but her. Why can't she have love and her work? Who said she had o have one or the other?

reply

The short and simple answer is mental illness.

Rowan. Remember he says having a family makes you weak.

She could also be with Jake if she wanted to. She has two men that would be with her. All she would have to do is say the word. Maybe it's sinking in that she's damaged and broken. That she needs to get herself together before she can even think about being with a guy. I hope someone asks and we find out why she's choosing to be without them.

She used to have three. Edison also wanted to wife her up.

No one knows not even Olivia. Shonda just writes these emotions without explanation and then Olivia will change her mind in two weeks again.

This isn't much of a question when it comes to Jake. As we saw in 5B, choosing to be with him wouldn't be good for her and it's with him, she's isn't the main concern. It's just as much about saving Jake, who by now should be trying to save himself.

reply

She is referring herself to the Marcus. Olivia was a ladder climber so she is saying he is too when he is actually a good man. Sadly.

reply

It's going to be the typical "boy moves on with another girl", and Olivia has to come back and get her man. Boring!

What would be artistically brave is to end this series with both Olivia and Fitz going their separate ways.

Let the conversation begin! 

She's hard to root for, that's for certain.
