## Premise

Liz and Ed, a hyper-competitive career mom and lovable but dorky “fun dad,” unwittingly welcome 13-year-old Nick “into their family of four before realizing she is a street-smart con artist with a secret agenda: She has infiltrated the family with the intention to get revenge on them for unknowingly ruining her life. But as Nick gets to know the family, she will find compassion for them and will struggle with whether or not she can ultimately go through with the plan.”

## Episodes

### Part 2

> "*There are definitely some things that are going to come up in Nick’s way that will be major obstacles for her. There’s so much pressure on Nick from so many sources and she doesn’t know what’s true anymore. Everything she used to rely on is gone now, and she’s really freaking out now. Going into Part 2, there are higher stakes. They put so much pressure on her and continue to build. That balance of her father and the Thompsons really plays a role in Part 2. There’s a lot of struggle. There are so many different things that she needs to consider.*"

## Trivia

* In every theme opening, Nick is shown standing alone on the stairs holding an item that is important to the episode.
* Every episode has "The" in the title.
	+ “Follow the Lady” is the only episode name that doesn’t *start* with “The.”
* Part 2 is often mistaken as the second season of *No Good Nick* by fans.
	+ It is not Season 2 as Lori Mae Hernandez states in a comment on an Instagram post that Season 1 is divided into two parts, and David H. Steinberg says that Part 2 is in Season 1. On August 6, 2019, both Sean Astin and David H. Steinberg state on social media that they want Season 2 to happen.
* There is a ‘90s-themed episode in Part 2. Melissa Joan Hart and Sean Astin dress up as title characters that they used to play—Clarissa from *Clarissa Explains It All* and Rudy from *Rudy*.
	+ This episode is “The Trojan Horse.”
* Part 2 came out on Josie Totah’s eighteenth birthday.
* In Part 1, Liz and Jeremy are unsure about Nick, while Molly and Ed were in favor of Nick. During Part 2, the characters made a switch. Liz and Jeremy were okay with Nick, while Molly and Ed become suspicious of her. Coincidentally, while discussing Nick after discovering her schemes, it was Liz and Jeremy who stood up for her while Ed and Molly went against her.
