#also came to the realization that nicky and glenn basically made the same decision of:

[jack-the-fool]

I think what really gets me is that, while Nicky clearly has the memories of the OG timeline it's still not the actual life he lived. Him wanting to connect with Glenn on a father-son level is filtered through so many layers, of that original idealism of their initial relationship, of their current relationship of parental figure.

And Jodie has changed too. It's not too much of a stretch to see how the demon reveal has changed both of them, and them alternating between which experience/memories they want to seek out. Which experiences they want to let define them.

But with Glenn and Nicky, I also feel like there's this sense of Painful Self Awareness with their actions. Glenn distances himself from Nick's life because he can tell he's negatively affecting him, and Nicky leaves Taylor's life because he doesn't want to put a target on his back. Their motives are both to protect but they don't consider or acknowledge how much those same actions can also harm.
