Eventually, Jacques succeeds in persuading her that he's on her side. Olivia rushes to him looking at Jacques through the car window. She and Jacques introduce themselves to each other. Jacques tells Olivia to lean closer to him as he takes her glasses, wipes them with his handkerchief and puts them back on Olivia's head. Then he asks if she sees him better and Olivia responds that it depends on what he will show her sitting on a backseat of his taxi as both drive to the Penthouse. Jacques gives Olivia climbing equipment and they have a romantic moment when Olivia asks where does her safety rope lead to. Jacques pull her closer and replies 'to me.'. Then they climb the Penthouse to Esmé's apartment to look for the Quagmires. Unfortunately they do not succeed to find the triplets and leave the apartment.

In The Ersatz Elevator: Part Two Jacques and Olivia drive in the taxi and Jacques persuades desperate Olivia not to give up and become a volunteer too. He tells Olivia that he can show her why she is needed to be a volunteer and tells her to hang on to something sturdy which follows by Olivia holding Jacques's shoulder. Confused, Jacques looks back at Olivia from his driving seat and she gently smiles at him. They eventually arrive at the remains of the burnt Baudelaire mansion and Jacques tells Olivia everything about the VFD schism and how it began. After the explanation Olivia confirms to Jacques she wants to become a volunteer and will stay by his side to the bitter end. Jacques and Olivia head by Jacques's taxi to the IN auction in Veblen hall to save two of three Quagmire triplets. This time Olivia is in the driver's seat. They arrive in time, but due to overall chaos, none of them is able to help the orphans. They are later carried away by a crowd rushing out of the hall when it became OUT.

In The Vile Village: Part One Jacques and Olivia are on a side road waiting for a red herring when they see Count Olaf's car with an actual Red Herring attached to its roof. They arrive to the Village of Fowl Devotees to track down the Count Olaf and, eventually, the Baudelaires too. Jacques and Olivia change their clothes to cowboy uniforms and go to catch Olaf into an old bar, where he hides. Jacques confronts Count Olaf while Olivia is watching them. Olaf tries to escape before astounded Jacques, but Olivia does not hesitate to unroll a fire hose causing Olaf to trip over it. They manage to handcuff the treacherous villain and lock him up in a jail cell of the village's police station. After Jacques fails to get any information about the Quagmire triplets from Olaf he sits next to Olivia in the next room and they talk. After being interrupted from the conversation by a loud sound of escaping steam from a teapot, Olivia offers Jacques to read his future from his teapot.

Behind the scenes: Esmé and Count Olaf's associates arrive at the jail freeing Count Olaf, disguising Jacques as Count Olaf and putting Olivia into a jail. Imprisoned Olivia talks to Esmé admitting Jacques is her boyfriend and telling her the location of the Sugar Bowl to save him and herself. Outside the police station, Jacques and Olivia to his taxi car. Jacques tells Olivia to go to the Caligari Carnival and pose as a rotating role of Madame Lulu while he goes back and takes care of Count Olaf and his associates. Right before Olivia departs in Jacques's taxi he kisses her on the lips for goodbye. He also gives her his spyglass. Jacques goes to the village's bar to fight Olaf, but is tricked by Esmé who throws a large book on his head. Jacques lying on the floor is then beaten to death with a crowbar by Count Olaf.

Olivia poses at the Caligari Carnival as Madame Lulu. After the arrival of Count Olaf and his troupe. She continually reminds Olaf that he murdered Jacques and before packing up to leave the Carnival with the Baudelaire children, she looks at Jacques's VFD movie scene with nostalgia and says aloud his lines before the movie comes up to it. In the next performance of Caligari Carnival she is thrown into a pit with hungry lions, which confirms her death.

## Fandom support

Oliques is one of the most popular ships between two adult *A Series of Unfortunate Events* characters. They are shipped in the Netflix adaptation only because Jacques has almost to none role in the books and Olivia is a completely different person in the books. Some fans call the ship *Jalivia*, but this ship name is rather confusing, since it can be for a fanon femslash ship between Olivia Caliban and Jacquelyn Scieszka known officially as Olivyn. Other ship name is *Jolivia* used mostly on Tumblr.
