#remember when Nick tried to have a drink with her and she was like 🙂 no 🙂

Ok this is soo random but I was always so confused about Nick's backstory??? Like were we supposed to think that Nick was the brains behind the operation the entire time?? Like how much was Rio and Nick working together? Was it 50/50. I feel like Nick's MO is that he was always super jealous of Rio because hello??? And always took credit for everything that Rio has built on his own. Is that a correct read? What's your opinion 🧐 also bonus but what do you think Beth's impression of Nick is?

firstly I think it's very important to remember that Nick is 5'9 like that informs so much

secondly I don't think we're meant to think he's the brains at all I mean he was giving Dense™. I try not to think of him but I got the vibe he and Rio operated in tandem to help eachother out, Rio from the actual crime side making money and Nick from his smarmy good guy façade role as a councilman to help bend the law when Rio needed it. Mutually beneficial but something Rio chafed against cause Nick is Nick and who wouldn't want to get rid of him tbh

Beth 'I'm 🤢 not doing 🤢 anything 🤢 with the brousin 🤢' Boland at best thought Nick was a fun way to find things out about Rio.
