Sometimes the gems of the episode are a bit hidden, and this is the case with this episode, especially as it relates to the aspect of Olivia reconnecting with the little girl she saved years ago.
It looks like they are going to reconnect, but then they do not.
However, what is poignant is that Olivia realizes how important this day is to the young woman. She could have inserted herself into this situation, this event, and I'm sure the young woman would have appreciated it, but she may have looked back and wished she had participated in the events of that day with her friends.
No, this was a case where Olivia, as usual, chose to put the gal first, and did what was best. It was about TIMING. Let the gal enjoy this day, with her friends, have the celebration, etc. There is a time and a place for everything, and that wasn't the time or the place for Olivia to insert herself at the cost of the events and celebration that was going on around the gal at that time.
It just goes to show, yet again, how Olivia is always putting the others ahead of herself and choosing what she thinks is best for them.
But, you sometimes have to take a step back from the episode to have the understanding, yourself, to be able to see that, along with Olivia (and her writers and producers).
