The apple does not fall far from the tree, poisoned though it may be.
Rowan once said that to Olivia, and his words have never been truer than in tonight’s season finale.
Olivia finally stands up to her father and frees Jake from his control — but in the end, does exactly what Rowan wanted. He wanted Jake as the VP candidate, and Jake becomes the VP candidate (albeit for Mellie, and not for Frankie Vargas).

To defeat the monster, Olivia has become one herself.
Here’s a rundown of the finale:
