That'd be the funniest way it could come to a head: Ed pulling Ollie aside, genuinely bearing his soul and concerns about him thinking Ollie is legit competing with him on his research, and then Ollie just puts her hands on his shoulders and says whatever the era-appropriate version of "Bruh it ain't that deep, I can throw aside the research notes*, I just wanna suck on those fish titties"

(*Ed later finds Ollie's research notes on Oskar and discovers it's actually art of Oskar getting boned)
