A lot happened to Olivia while Elliot was gone. He has to earn her trust again to learn what she's been through and confront the consequences of his absence.

Olivia and Elliot navigate their relationship and blended lives after season 23's drama is resolved. Noah is a rebellious teenager struggling to come to terms with his origins.

Barba reaches out to Olivia in an attempt to mend their friendship. Elliot isn't happy and his jealous side shows. EO Angst/Drama

Elliot drops by the precinct to bring Olivia coffee, but Amanda Rollins makes her wariness of him known.

Olivia has been by Elliot's side and his rock through the worst. After a particularly rough case, he finally gets the chance to show up for her.
