## Plot

### Season 2

In Season 2, Nico lives alone with his daughter Livie, separated from Cassie and Noah. He cares a lot about his daughter and lets her do her own thing. When Ford and Livie go missing he immediately comes to the rescue, henceforth spending much time with Ford's mum, Rose. Nico also wants to talk about the past, but Livie refuses - at least until Ford encourages her to be courageous. Their whole family, as well as Ford, gather in the living room to chat about everything, which takes place after Johnny's accident and whilst Johnny is still unconscious.

Eventually the family start living under one roof and start to get along more - apart from Nico and Cassie. But, the two of them do manage to help Livie and Ford set up for Livie's 18th birthday party together.

At the end of Season 2, Ford, Livie, and Amber are in the car with Rose. Livie mentions how she's noticed her father seeming distant and reckons that he's in love again. Rose instantly blushes and Ford catches on, starting to get mad. Clearly, Rose and Nico love each other.

### Season 3

Nico and Rose are always together and never leave each other alone. Rose won't even give Ford attention when he's struggling. Instead, it's Nico that helps Ford. Whenever Ford needs help or needs to tell anyone anything, he and Johnny go straight to Nico - who secretly is on Ford's side all along and not Rose's. As a result, it gets so bad that when Nico tries to call the police after Ford gets abducted, Rose even tries to stop him. But he doesn't listen; he has to do it for Ford, not for Rose.

Nico's the only adult that will actually listen to Ford, and when Ford finds out the horrifying truth about his dad, he and Johnny run to Nico for support, knowing they'll receive it.

Nearer the end of Season 3, when Ford is in desperate need of help for both Lilliana and himself, Johnny rushes to find Nico so that the two of them can reach the crime scene as fast as possible. Rose finds out about Nico's disloyalty and she isn't very happy.

He also loves Cassie, but doesn't think she loves him. Rose is his second choice and he hates it when he argues with Cassie.

They get together at the end of season 3.

### Season 4

He's happy he and Cassie are together again. He also wants to help Ford, and suddenly a girl appears on his doorstep, one of Amber's friends. He agrees to talk, surprised to see Amber, but willing to keep it underwraps and help them out. He doesn't want Cara to get away with her blackmail.
