A counterexample can even use a nonalgebraic isolated type. Let , , , and . The quantifier elimination for dense linear orders without endpoints shows that all elements have the same complete type over the empty set: a one-variable quantifier-free formula has no order information except and .
Thus isolates . Every is a dense linear order without endpoints, and every element of realizes . Such a model cannot omit it. Even a type with infinitely many realizations need not be omittable; isolation is the relevant obstruction.
