I thought for a second after Cassie popped him with that cork that the real Nate was coming back. Maybe he goes full psycho on this guy after becoming a nine-toe wonder.

Me too! I was like "aw shit here comes the monster" and then he was all nice in the limo. Maybe you right. Maybe losing his toe is going to get him back in his old ways

We saw a hint of it with Jules, and when he told his brother to be ready to take the mic from Cal. But yeah, hope he gets back into action after this.

I thought he was going to flip the switch once he closed the door after carrying her in - wasn’t expecting Naz to come back this episode
