Interesting so many different thoughts expressed about Nicole shredding the much sought after evidence, and Daniel piecing together what went on after he found them.
The fact remains that Daniel has always been Nicole's good friend, he has had her back, helped her, took her in, etc. etc. And the fact is that Nicole lied to him again and again. She admits she is grateful to him, considers herself to be his good friend, has even said he is her only best friend. And yet, she lied over and over, even when confronted with the truth, with the evidence of the truth.
Sadly, Nicole digs her own holes.
Daniel was desperately trying to help his friend Eric. Nicole joined him in the efforts. They worked together, eventually putting themselves in danger, but in the end, Nicole betrayed Daniel's friendship and trust.
Don't misunderstand me, I love the character of Nicole, and think Ari Zucker, who portrays her, is the best on the show. Nicole is a victim of her own insecurities. She loved the Eric of years ago, and he left. He returns and is a priest. Does she really know this Eric? Would she really be happy with this Eric? I don't think so. She already has expressed unhappiness over his decision of no sex before marriage. She definitely is not religious at all and Eric is. She felt she wanted him, no matter what. If he loved her, as he said, she wanted him out of the church, no ties to it whatsoever.
And so, what is very disappointing, is that Nicole was willing, in the end, to have Eric remain disgraced in the eyes of the church, the eyes of his parishioners, the nuns at school, the children.
She joined Daniel in his journey to ferret out the truth, and when found, hid it from him. And from Eric. And in Salem, the truth will eventually come out. As Daniel asked, she cannot possibly succeed in a relationship based on lies. I think she is going to try anyway. and this will all drag on as Daniel waits for her to 'fess up to Eric, and Nicole thinks up ways to avoid doing so, and get Eric for keeps.
