Edie

**Edie** (*ee-dee*) is a flight attendant, and the wife of Nicky Pearson.

## History

Edie came across Nicky while he was on a flight for his home state of Pennsylvania. She was insistent that he put his seat back in an upright position, and he challenged her. Their exchange turned flirtatious as he playfully dismissed her authority, and a flash-forward indicated they were a couple as they embraced at the family cabin.

A short time after their initial encounter, Edie visited Nicky at the cabin in present time. Together, they shared a dinner with Kevin and Cassidy. They engaged in more playfulness as Edie grew acquainted with company, and later, she and Nicky watched a movie together, as she had plans to stay the night.

In The Guitar Man, Edie once again went to the cabin for dinner. She spent time playing board games with everybody, including Cassidy's son, Matty. Later, after Matty struggled to play a guitar Kevin let him use, Edie put on a Smokey Robinson record and danced with Nicky to avoid the noise. That evening, after everything had settled, Cassidy ended up hospitalized after a car accident. During her overnight stay, Edie and Nicky watched the kids.

In the future, Edie attends Kate’s second wedding alongside Nicky, who is now married to her. They play a card game with Rebecca and Miguel, and watch “The Golden Girls” alongside Rebecca later on, both expressing concern when her memory lapses. They attend the ceremony and reception later, where they celebrate with the family and dance.

Further on, the Pearsons gather together to discuss what to do with an ailing Rebecca, as Miguel has recently passed away, and her Alzheimer’s has progressed. Edie and Nicky help distract Kevin's twins for a while, and later join in on the discussion, insisting they will be around to help take care of her, alongside other family members.

By the early 2030s, Rebecca is nearing death, and the family once more gathers to discuss aspects of her life as they comfort her one by one. Edie attends the funeral alongside Nicky.

## Personality

Edie is quick-witted with a sarcastic sense of humor. She appears to be responsible, hard-working, and loving toward her family.

## Relationships

### Romantic

Little is known about her life before meeting Nicky, except that she had been married three times, and had two children with one or more of her previous husbands. Edie dated Nicky for am unknown period of time before marrying him off-screen.

In Strangers: Part Two, the first hints of her existence were shown when a future Nicky was wearing a wedding ring at Rebecca's bedside. By The Ride, a mysterious white car at the Pearson cabin further hinted at her character. In The Adirondacks, shortly before Edie appeared on-screen or was mentioned by name, it was shown that they had married by the time Kate and Philip had their wedding, based on a flash-forward where Nicky mentioned “the wife".

Their relationship is shown to be positive and humorous. She and Nicky end up living in the original family cabin, next door to the new one that Kevin has built.
