Canon
Jacques appears much more frequently in the Netflix adaptation. He presumably went to Prufrock Preparatory School with the other Volunteers, and is noted to have driven the taxi when Lemony escaped the opera night in The Penultimate Peril: Part Two. He seems to be a taxi driver and recruiter for the organization. He also meets with Lemony at some point after the Opera at a Masquerade party in VFD Headquarters. Larry Your-Waiter rescued by Jacques Snicket. In The Austere Academy: Part Two, at the request from Jacquelyn Scieszka, he arrives at Prufrock to rescue Larry Your-Waiter from the freezer he was thrown into. Upon being confronted by Carmelita, he informs her that he works for an organization that keeps an eye on "children of interest" and insults her before leaving with Larry and calling Jacquelyn to inform her of the situation.

In The Ersatz Elevator: Part One Olivia visits Arthur Poe at Mulctuary Money Management. She tries to tell him about how Baudelaire and Quagmire orphans are being taken advantage of. As usual, Poe does not listen, although it is mainly because he is about to go on a helicopter search for the Quagmires. Jacquelyn Scieszka overhears the conversation and has Jacques Snicket pick up Olivia in his taxi and recruit her into their secret organization, VFD. Jacques manages to earn her trust and the two of them head to 667 Dark Avenue to search for the kidnapped Quagmire triplets. Jacques and Olivia search 667 Dark Avenue for the Quagmires by climbing up the side of the apartment building in order to do so, but have no luck looking for them.

In The Ersatz Elevator: Part Two Jacques and Olivia drive to the remains of burnt Baudelaire mansion and Jacques tells Olivia everything about the VFD schism and how it began. Jacques Snicket said that the Quagmire kidnapping was the result of this, which was the result of: a stolen object (the Sugar Bowl), a moving violation, a misdemeanor, two poison darts, 3 civil suits settled out of court and a murder. After theexplanation he and Olivia head by Jacques's taxi to the IN auction in Veblen hall to save two of three Quagmire triplets. They arrive in time, but due to overal chaos none of them is able to help the orphans. They are later carried away by a crowd rushing out of the hall when it became OUT.

In The Vile Village: Part One & Part Two, Jacques and Olivia are on a side road waiting for a red herring, when they see Count Olaf's car with an actual Red Herring attached to its roof. They arrive to the Village of Fowl Devotees to track down the Count Olaf and evntually the Baudelaires too. Jacques and Olivia change their clothes to cowboy uniforms and go catch Olaf into an old bar, where he hides. They succeed and detain Olaf at the local jailhouse, unaware of Esmé's new role as Officer Luciana. Off-screen, she detains Jacques and Olivia before setting Olaf free afterwards. In jail, Olivia convinces Esmé to free her telling her location of the Sugar Bowl, an object with ties to Esmé's past and whole VFD, admiting Jacques is her boyfriend to Esmé. Jacques directs Olivia to Kit Snicket, a fellow associate, posing as Madame Lulu at Caligari Carnival in order to find the Sugar Bowl before Esmé does. Right before Olivia departs in Jacques's taxi he kisses her on the lips for goodbye. Jacques stays at the village in order to watch over the Baudelaires. Unfortunately, he is murdered by Olaf once Olivia leaves.

In The Carnivorous Carnival: Part One & Part Two, Olivia reveals to the Baudelaires that "Madame Lulu" is a rotating role. The adaptation mainly follows the same plot as the book, except Olivia is more honorable to the Baudelaires as she never reveals their true identity to Count Olaf and tries to save their lives. She explains about why she gave Esmé the location of the Sugar Bowl and that she swapped places with the previous Madame Lulu (Kit Snicket), so she could retrieve then it. She continualy reminds Olafhe murdered Jacques and before packing up to leave wit the children, she looks at Jacques's VFD movie scene with nostalgy. Later during the gruesome performance at the lion pit, Olaf realizes that Olivia is "that school librarian" and kills her by cutting a rope holding the bench she was standing on, leading her to be eaten by the lions below.

Fanon
Oliques is one of the most favourite ships between adult A Series of Unfortunate Events characters. They are shipped in the Netflix adaptation only beucase Jacques has almost to none role in the books and Olivia is a completely different person in the books. Some fans call the ship 'Jalivia', but this ship name is rather confusing, since it can be for a fanon homo ship between Olivia Caliban and Jacquelyn Scieszka known officialy as Olivyn.
