Wouldn't Kevin's SS issued vehicle have some sort of tracker on it? Between his cell and Olivia's I would've expected Fitz, Cyrus and Huck to be able to figure things out quicker. Fitz was very understanding and gentle with Olivia. She does seem to be in shock so the last thing she needs is yelling and a lecture. He can save the serious discussion they need to have for later. Don't know what Rowan thought he was doing by staying mum at first. So many people did the wrong thing that lead to Maya killing two people and escaping. Maya being Olivia's mother is besides the point. She's an international terrorist, murder is no biggie to her. If he couldn't handle the job then he could've let the POTUS decide what to do with her. They just lost Olivia's phone signal or that happened two hours ago? It wouldn't matter who the woman was on the phone it was clear she was involved with Olivia's disappearance so they should've tracked whoever this person was. Are these people professionals? Rowan needs to find Maya then hand her over to the POTUS. Mother in law or not she needs to be locked up, neither man is in a position to be thinking about Maya's punishment in terms of what Olivia would want. Rowan's lucky he's been given leave to find her and that he may not be locked up when he returns.

I can't stand Maya. Some of the things she would say to Olivia and Rowan were accurate, but she's so awful that they never would tune her out. She's unapologetic about the things she's done and doesn't care about her daughter at all. Olivia's life was turned upside down when she lost her mother, but Maya just brushes it off. Olivia though Eli was the bad parent. Turns out she has two of those. Maya comes across as a psychopath so it would be difficult to sit Olivia down and tell her about the unhealthy relationships and situations she has in her life. Olivia needed guidance from someone that didn't want anything from her and unfortunately did couldn't even get that from her mother. A new Olitz story would be great.

I was surprised when Fitz said Karen wanted to spend more time with her mother. I guess their getting along now? Perhaps it's because Mellie has nothing better to do and she really does only have her kids. I just don't know if she's capable of change.

The wedding was lovely. What wasn't was Olivia's behavior. Who in their right mind leaves their own wedding reception to go with an ex somewhere? First off she had no business answering her phone, I'm not sure why it was on to begin with. This curiosity to know what's going on is bizarre. There wasn't any client she was dealing with so she should've ignored Jake. Then when he brought up her mother she should've known that was reason enough not to get involved. I have no idea why Olivia would fall for Jake's manipulation. She doesn't owe him a thing. She wanted to be with Fitz and Jake knew who truly had her heart. He was a fool for trying to force things. Besides, I still haven't forgotten him giving her the concussion and then begging her to lie about how she got it. Not to mention all the other times he got physical or gas lighted her. Screw him. Jake is emotionally unstable and is looking for anyway to get revenge and away from Rowan. Olivia set this is motion by telling him not to kill her father so he trying things a different way that's less likely to get the outcome he wants. Really Jake is ultimately responsible for getting himself killed. He got so desperate he forgot he's dealing with a terrorist.

Having said all of that, Olivia left her reception without telling her new husband, Huck or other SS agents where she was going. This was always going to end badly. Why does she believe she always knows best? She got thrown in the hole and Kevin was murdered because of her need to always show others she's in control yet at the same time prove she wants to please her parents. She was disappointed that Eli didn't come to her wedding, but he was right not to go. It would've been disingenuous since he doesn't approve of this relationship. Olivia's parents show time and again that they only care about power yet she thinks they give a damn about her. Eli may care as he sees her as an extension of himself. Maya though doesn't care about Olivia at all. She's a straight up psychopath. Turning the gun on her own daughter. I get wanting out of the hole, but she could've done that by simply locking Kevin, Jake and Olivia in that room and leaving.

With Olivia it's one step forward and five steps back. She ruined what should've been one of the most important days of her life because she refuses to cut certain people out of her life. Now the day will always be tainted. Olivia had so much growth prior to chapter twenty. I know this is for drama, but it might have made more sense if she didn't willingly go along with all this. She had moments where she acted foolishly before, but meeting Jake secretly for months makes her look bad. This whole situation could've been avoided if she'd just put Fitz and her family first. She's now a mother and a wife and she hasn't been acting like they are her top priority.

I'm glad they found her so quickly. Now we have to wait for Maya to strike again, she truly is . Our lovers are together again, but I think she will have a hard time snapping back from this one

I think the story is too early to end yet. Maya needs to be found and Rowan dealt with. Another OLITZ story would be great!

This story is so stupid, who disappears on there wedding day! I'm so glad maya shot Jake and locked Olivia in the cell and now she's killed her guard and no one knows where she is!

This story messed up in chapter 20 when Liv left her own wedding and CY told Fitz she was with Jake (did you forgot you wrote that)? I know it’s your story to tell, but you made Jake more important than Fitz on Fitz’s wedding day! As always, Jake manipulation is so big that Liv runs to him. It would have been better if you as the writer waited to have her go and “help” Jake! You tainted your own story just for some mystery shit with of all people Jake! Why do you think most stopped watching the show, it went to crap... B613!

People stopped reading your story because of wha did to Fitz. This is not a true Olitz story and I don’t plan I think this story messed up in chapter 20 when Liv left her own wedding and CY told Fitz she was with Jake. I know it’s your story to tell, but you made Jake more important than Fitz on Fitz’s wedding day! As always, Jake manipulation is so big that Liv runs to him. It would have been better if you as the writer waited to have her go and “help” Jake! You tainted your own story just for some mystery shit. Why do you think most stopped reading or the show went to crap... B613! on reading anymore of your stories!

Please update soon. Hoping Kevin called for help. I am sorry Jake is dead, but he should have known what would happen.

Great first chapter excited to read the story

I glad they found Olivia before Rowan did because I think he would have left her down there...

can't wait for more of the backstory on how Maya got out of the hold, and if Rowan will figure it out, before it's too late. I hope Liv being missing doesn't derail the wedding.

Wow, that was a real turn around. Can't wait for the next chapter

Maya is evil. She needs to be assassinated. Rowan is evil too. He also needs to be assassinated. I enjoy this story. It is well written, and I thank you for bringing these characters to life from another perspective. I would like a new Olitz story line whenever you decide to end this story.

Terry storyline please

i’m so in love with your story, wish it was the real Scandal

Looks like Liv does want a somewhat large wedding. I'm sure she has an assistant and/or wedding planner helping her with everything. She better get that dress for herself soon. I was wondering if she'll have Karen and Quinn stand for her or maybe she won't if Fitz isn't having a best man or groomsmen.

Jake didn't have a difficult time finding out about Maya. Rowan's a little slack with the guys he had watching her. Liv was whispering when Jake called her because she just had to keep it a secret from Fitz. She's made things worse. She allowed herself to be drawn into whatever is going on between Jake and her father. If Jake wants to get back at Rowan then he's free to do so without Liv's help. She's risking her family by doing this. Why did she actually believe that she was safe just because Eli/Rowan is her father?

Jake had a good place to visit Maya everyday to earn her trust, it's just that she chose to give him nothing. I imagine she will get upset that he didn't visit her for almost a week or bring her anything. Not sure why because she hasn't been forthcoming with information. He didn't forget about her, he's been busy. Maya was right in what she said to Eli about Liv. He's the one who did a crappy job of parenting Liv. Blaming Maya for ruining their family yet taking no responsibility for his part if classic Eli/Rowan. It's always someone else with him. I can't stand Liv's parents.

As for Teddy, Fitz would be the primary guardian/parent. He has full custody, as per the divorce, but Mellie gets every other holiday and summer. So I guess I understand why Fitz didn't insist that Teddy be present for the twins birthday. He could've pushed the issue if he wanted, but it wasn't that big a deal. Teddy should be with the rest of his family at the wedding. If Mellie tried to keep him away with would be out of spite. I wonder how much time she actually spends with Teddy when she has him. I'll bet a nanny is taking care of him for most of that time.
