Nick is also blackmailed by Kate  Roberts into making Sami's amniocentesis say that EJ was the father of Sami's twins. Nick saves Sami and Lucas Roberts from a bomb that Dr. Rolf planted, sustaining head injuries in the process.

Nick deduces that Artemis and Demarquette are not really China Lee's children , which she confirms upon her release from jail. She had been hired to protect the boys, but refuses to retake custody of them. A man named Umar Abboud comes to Nick's home and claims that he works for the boys' parents and had been sent to bring them home.

Abboud is in the employ of the boys' parents, who are wealthy foreigners with many enemies. Having secured political asylum, they wanted to be reunited with their sons; Chelsea's abduction had been a ploy by the family's enemies. Nick agrees to let Artemis and Demarquette go. Nick and  Chelsea reunite. He helps Chelsea find proof that Ford Decker was the campus rapist by breaking into Ford's room in order to take photographs of his drugs and journal. After the campus rapist situation is resolved, Chelsea and Nick grow apart because of her attraction to Dr. Daniel Jonas, and the two eventually break up.

Nick ultimately starts stalking her and is later revealed to be the killer of Trent Robbins, Max and Melanie's  father. On January 14, 2009, Nick is tried for the murder of Trent Robbins. Maggie and Melanie give testimony as to why Nick should not receive a life sentence. The judge agrees and sentences Nick to 2 to 5 years in a facility and 18 months for good behavior.

Nick tells Chelsea he is sorry for everything and tells her to move on with her  life. Chelsea tearfully tells Nick that he will always have a piece of her heart and that he can focus on getting better. On August 27, 2012, Nick returns to Salem and, still in jail, has a parole hearing. Having been recently kidnapped, Melanie does not know how she feels. Against the advice of her family, Melanie decides that Nick really had changed, but wants him to stay away from her. Nick is released and threatened by Chad to stay away. Caroline forgives Nick and gives him a job at the Brady Pub. Chad beats Nick up after believing that  he has Melanie, since he has her scarf. Later, Nick meets Melanie's former friend Gabi and they start dating. On November 14, Gabi finds out she is pregnant with her gay ex-boyfriend Will Horton's baby. Nick agrees with Gabi and Will that he will raise the child and that he and Gabi will get married. Nick and Gabi have a church wedding, but before they can be pronounced husband and wife, Chad objects, saying that Nick is not the father of Gabi's baby, and it finally comes out that Will is the father. At a later  date, Nick blackmails Will to give up his parental rights to Arianna by threatening to tell that Will was the one who shot EJ. With several other people around, including Sami, Lucas, EJ, Sonny, and an attorney Nick brings, Will signs the agreement. Nick and Gabi marry in a private ceremony. Only later does Gabi learn that Will gave up his rights to the baby, but she does not learn about the blackmail, though Will tells her he did not want to do it. Nick has memories of something terrible that happened in jail, possibly involving another inmate, Vargas, who  was recently released and is getting help from the church to adjust to regular life. It is later revealed to be repeated prison rape by another inmate named Jensen. Nick is kidnapped, along with Gabi, and held hostage by Jensen. Will and Sonny save them, with Will getting shot in the process. Nick then tries to make things right, considering that Will almost died to save him, and agrees to have Will's name on Arianna's birth certificate. Nick tells Gabi the truth about his rape and about blackmailing Will. Nick is fired by Kate in June 2013. In  August 2013, when his parole is up, he is told by Victor Kiriakis to vacate the Kiriakis mansion immediately. Nick becomes obsessed with Gabi and gets her a modeling job in New York, where he will be as well, hoping that they can be together. After Gabi yells at him for interfering in her life, he follows her to the park where he tries to rape her. Gabi hits him in the head with a rock and Sami and Kate help her drag Nick's body to the river where he briefly awakes before apparently drowning on November 27. On  January 24, 2014, Nick arrives at Gabi and Will's daughter's baptism revealing that he had not drowned. He appears reformed but soon blackmails Kate into hiring him. Nick also manipulates Gabi into giving him another chance, and she feels that she must do so or risk going to jail for trying to murder Nick. Nick later manipulates EJ DiMera and Sami into giving Gabi a modeling contract with Countess Wilhelmina. Later, Nick gets involved in the custody agreement for Will and Gabi's daughter, pushing Gabi to only let Will see his daughter when she allows it. Will  and Sonny feel that Nick would manipulate Gabi until he has her and Ari to himself. In the meantime, EJ finds out that someone had pictures of him and Abigail Deveraux kissing sent to his house. EJ and Abigail later find out that Nick was behind it. On May 9, 2014, Nick is shot three times, once in the back and twice in the chest, and he dies on May 12 with an open investigation into who was responsible. On May 30, 2014, it is revealed that it was Gabi Hernandez who shot Nick. On Halloween 2021, Nick's corpse  was raised as a zombie by the devil-possessed Marlena Evans and was sent to terrorize Gabi. Jake DiMera and Gabi manage to stop Nick and return him back into his grave.
