## History

### Season 2

#### "All That Remains"

Shortly after the death of Nick's mother, Nick's group comes into contact with another survivor called Clementine. Nick is first seen arguing with his fellow group members about how they should handle Clementine, whose dog bite is mistaken for a walker bite. Pete speaks in Clementine's defense, but both Nick, who is holding a rifle, and Rebecca are adamant to the point that the girl must be put down. As Clementine comes to, she attempts to say something, but Nick, having been startled into pulling the trigger, cuts her off with a gunshot that narrowly misses her.

Nick is berated by the rest of the group for potentially alerting walkers in the vicinity. After the cabin group has decided to lock Clementine up, Nick and Luke are charged with escorting her to the shed.

In the evening, Nick and the rest of his group have a meeting about Clementine and what they should do with her, a discussion Clementine herself eavesdrops upon while sneaking around the house. Later, the entire group goes to the shed to check up on Clementine and find her having just survived an encounter with a walker. Although Nick and Rebecca react poorly to the revelation that Clementine had stolen supplies from them, they ultimately allow her to come inside to have her arm looked at. When Carlos confirms that she had not been bitten by a walker, Nick offers an apology for his earlier behavior, which Clementine accepts. Nick explains the cabin group had dealt with a situation similar to hers in the past, which led to the death of his mother.

The next morning, Nick gets into an argument with his uncle while on the way to the group's fish traps. Despite Clementine's attempts to defuse the situation, Nick ends up cutting the discussion short and goes ahead to the river by himself. However, upon his arrival there, Nick discovers a large amount of bodies, all of whom appear to have been shot, and calls for the help of Clementine and Pete.

The three decide to inspect the corpses in an attempt to find out what happened, though Nick is reluctant, believing themselves to be in danger. Pete again berates Nick for his behavior, following which he and Clementine go to investigate the opposite shore, leaving his nephew by himself. This effectively splits up the small group and leaves them vulnerable when walkers suddenly emerge from the woods and ambush them. Pete is bitten and runs out of ammunition, while Nick is surrounded and almost overrun by walkers.

Clementine tries to help Nick, crossing over the river to join him, dodging the walkers in her path. Clementine and Nick then watch as Pete is helplessly devoured by walkers on the other side. This visibly horrifies Nick, who scolds Clementine for not running over to Pete to help him.

#### "A House Divided"

Clementine and Nick are holed up in an old shed, attempting to find safety from the horde of walkers. After Nick manages to block the door, preventing the walkers from getting in but also trapping him and Clementine inside, he becomes listless due to his uncle's death. Clementine decides to have a look around the shed while attempting to come up with an escape plan, though Nick is largely uncooperative. He stays that way until Clementine finds some old jars of whiskey, from which Nick then starts drinking. The pair eventually decides to just wait it out, in the hopes that the rest of the cabin group will find and rescue them.

While Nick continues drinking, Clementine falls asleep, though she is woken up again by him smashing the whiskey jars against the wall, which she attempts to dissuade him from. Nick then confesses to Clementine that he had to kill his mother after she was bitten, and that he is simply "not built" to have the same ambition and drive as Luke. He then offers Clementine a drink, saying that it will be "[her] first and [her] last." Clementine accepts the offer but spits the drink out after tasting it. Nick then tells her to leave him behind and make a run for it, as he believes the others aren't coming for them.

Clementine convinces Nick to try to escape with her. Nick smashes one of the jars over a walker's head as they leave, alerting several others due to the sound. He then draws their attention in order to provide Clementine a means of escape. Nick is not seen again until Clementine and the rest of the cabin group return to the shed, where they find him passed out from the whiskey but otherwise unharmed. Nick is briefly consoled by Luke about the death of his uncle, following which he is informed about the appearance of Carver at the cabin.

While the group is walking, Nick speaks to Clementine about their time in the shed. He then becomes listless again and starts to lag behind a little bit, causing Luke to express his concerns about Nick's emotional stability. Luke then requests Clementine keep an eye on Nick. Five days later, the group arrives at a lake and plans to make for a lodge on the mountain, with Luke and Clementine going first to check whether it's safe to cross the lake by bridge. Nick attempts to offer his help, insisting that he's "fine", though Luke dismisses him and instructs him to stay with the group.

However, Nick chooses to follow them anyways and panics when he sees Luke and Clementine being approached by a stranger on the bridge. Assuming the man is holding his friends at gunpoint, Nick aims his weapon and then fires, misinterpreting Luke's wild gesturing as a sign to shoot. After the wounded stranger falls to his death, Nick is admonished for the preemptive attack.

Once across the bridge, Clementine speaks to Nick. Nick starts sarcastically thanking her for her lack of support after he shot the stranger. He begins to doubt himself, fearing that he is losing it. He then asks what time it is, checks his wrist, and remembers that he left his watch in the cabin; the watch was a gift from Pete.

Although things start looking up when he and the cabin group are invited to stay at the lodge, Nick continues to struggle with the shooting on the bridge, wishing he had not pulled the trigger. During dinner, Nick expresses this sentiment, though Luke simply urges him "to try to forget about it". The tense atmosphere continues when Nick and Kenny get into an argument, with Clementine getting caught in the middle, which is only resolved by the timely appearance of Walter.

When Luke and Clementine come to understand that the stranger on the bridge had been Walter's missing partner Matthew, they try to figure out what to do. While they are discussing what course of action to take, Nick finds them and demands to know what is going on. Clementine tells Nick the truth, after which he is overcome with guilt and wants to tell Walter what happened, though Luke tries to dissuade him from doing so. Clementine is then forced to confront Walter, as he has found Matthew's knife, which she had taken from the station house, in her backpack. Venturing outside, she comes clean about the cabin group's involvement in Matthew's death, following which Walter asks her if Nick is "a good man".

Clementine defends Nick, saying he is a good guy - adding that "he saved [her] life". When Nick then joins them and asks what is going on, Walter demands that Nick tells him what happened. Nick confesses that he shot Matthew because he believed the latter was going to shoot his friends, which Walter seemingly accepts.

Nick and the others then go to shut down the wind turbine, as the strong winds are causing it to generate a lot of noise. Shortly after Clementine has managed to turn off the wind turbine, the group finds themselves surrounded by walkers. While trying to get back to the lodge, Nick gets grabbed by a walker, but is narrowly saved by Walter. The two then join Carlos and Sarita, as Clementine runs back inside the lodge to alert the others. When Carver appears, Nick is apprehended like the others, survives the hostage situation and is then taken to Carver's camp.

#### "In Harm's Way"

Nick is first seen in the back of the Howe's Hardware truck with the rest of the cabin group and surviving company from the lodge.

Nick is notably excited to see Reggie again, as are the other members of the cabin group. The two briefly discuss what happened to Reggie's arm, for which Nick tries to take responsibility, saying it is his fault, since he thinks Reggie lost his arm because he was captured by Carver. Reggie then reassures him that the loss of his arm had nothing to do with the cabin group's escape, following which Nick retreats to bed and stays quiet up until prompted by Clementine. Nick tells her he is sure Luke will show up to come save them from their predicament, as he and Luke have been friends for about twenty years. He then lies back down to get some sleep and advises Clementine to do the same.

The next day, Nick can be seen with the other prisoners and is presumably carrying out tasks assigned to him by Carver. Although news of Luke's arrival reaches him and the others by the evening, he does not participate in working out their escape plan. The day after, Tavia sends Nick, along with Sarah, Rebecca, and Jane to do their chores, leaving the delivery of the radio to Clementine, Kenny and Mike. Nick is not seen again until Luke is captured by Carver.

While Kenny is being beaten by Carver, Nick calls out to the man to stop the brutal scene, but is powerless to do anything, as Clementine tries to intervene. Nick is later seen sitting next to Luke around the fire-pit, where the group is discussing whether or not escaping that night is a good idea. Nick sides with Luke when the latter states he believes it is too soon, since the majority of the group is in bad shape. Following Kenny's awakening, the group decides to go ahead with their original plan, relying on Clementine to set it in motion.

However, Nick and the others are intercepted on the way out by Carver, who holds them at gunpoint and berates them for trying to escape. They are saved when Clementine momentarily interrupts Carver, allowing Luke to get a hold of Carver's weapon and turn the situation around. When Kenny and Rebecca, with the support of Clementine, decide to kill Carver, Nick shows non-verbal disapproval and exits before the deed is carried out.

Upon seeing the herd of walkers, Nick becomes worried, but Luke reassures him that if Clementine managed it, so he can too. Nick is not shown having any difficulty passing through the herd at the end of the episode and is assumed to be with Luke.
