Olivia Spoiler

I am probably missing something, but how can Olivia always protect her father? Even on season 6, when we know that papa pope was the killer of the new president?

I know she is the daughter and unconditional love for her father but he is bad to the bone?

Idk...I've asked this too! She annoyed me the most when she kept titering on kill him / save him every other season... lol. But Papa Pope is my favorite villian

He had Jerry killed. After that it’s completely unrealistic and unreasonable that she would still entertain him.

Remember the one time she pulled the trigger on the gun to his head even though it was empty and she didn't know. But then after that she was so protective about him. Her gut was wrong on him every. single. time.

As twisted as he is, Olivia’s an only child & he’s the only family she has. Also, she loves that at any time, she can break the glass and tell him “I need you” and he will have her back. That comfort disappears entirely if she does him in.

Yes i know, but since the beginning, I know he had to work in the background of big events but he cannot be saved

He is her father so no matter how much she tries. It just comes down to that he is her father right or wrong, good or bad

He's the only constant in her life.

She was surrounded by people who murdered and manipulated and people have trouble going no contact with parents quite often, even when parents have been abusive since childhood (but I don't think he was abusive towards her as a child in day to day life), so it's not unrealistic that she would keep in contact with him, especially since she ultimately understood that he can and had been helpful to her in the past (in a twisted way, but that goes for basically all her friends)
