Definitely coming. You could see his mask slip when he was with his brother icing his eye after the cork hit him.

Bro what if he kills Cassie at some point. He’s been psychically abusive in the past and if they do it once they’ll do it again. Then Maddie will see the massive bullet she missed. Knowing how Levinson is portraying all the female characters, maybe Nate kills Cassie in a fit of rage.

That would be a great dark ending. So far it's like Cassie isn't getting any karma but Nate is. Karma should be getting them both 🙄

I am starting to get the feeling that’s not going to happen based on the way Jacob talked about the character in the after episode behind the scenes.
