Nikolas: I’m sorry. When did — when did I miss this amazing transformation from mild-mannered nurse to super scary spy nurse?
Nadine: I have been telling you all along. I am going to help uncover this counterfeit drug ring. You just haven’t been listening and you want to know why? Because you’ve been too busy ordering me around –
Nikolas: So?
Nadine: But I don’t take orders from you. My free time is my own, to do with as I choose.
Nikolas: What if I ask you really nicely?
Nadine: Are you capable?
Nikolas: No. So abandon the insanity and get back to work.
Nadine: When I’m done. I’ve just verified that Matt’s going to be very busy for the next couple of hours, which gives me plenty of time to get into and out of his room undetected.
Nikolas: Listen to yourself right now. What you’re contemplating is illegal. You’re not a cop, you’re not a P.I. and there’s absolutely no evidence that Matt Hunter is pushing counterfeit drugs. There you go.
Leyla: Actually, she’s overheard several suspicious conversations.
Nikolas: Don’t encourage her.
Nadine: Don’t condescend. And while you’re at it, don’t discount my instincts.
Nikolas: Well, don’t make me go to Mac Scorpio and tell him you’re about to break into his house, thank you.
Nadine: Oh, what an ass. Do you think he’d really tell Mac?
Leyla: No, but he did — did seem pretty adamant about wanting you to back off. You going to?
Nadine: No. I’m going to prove that everything Nikolas said about my woeful incompetence is totally wrong.
Nadine: I’m pretty sure no one’s home, but you should ring the bell just in case.
Leyla: What am I supposed to say if somebody answers?
Nadine: You’ll think of something. Just distract him while I go in another way.
Leyla: Nadine, I’m beginning to see Nikolas’ point. This is a really bad idea. You could get yourself into a lot of trouble. Is playing Nancy Drew for the day really worth it?
Nadine: I am trying to bust a counterfeit drug ring. I’d say that’s pretty important.
Leyla: You’re trying to get Nikolas’ attention and so far, so good. But you keep this up and he’s going to have to pay attention to you in jail.
Nadine: Okay, we don’t have to argue about this right now, so ring the bell. I got to go.
[Doorbell rings]
Maxie: Well, hey, what are you doing here?
Leyla: I wasn’t sure if you’re — you were going to be home.
Maxie: Well, I am. What can I help you with?
Leyla: I wanted to talk to you about Spinelli.
Maxie: Oh, okay. I think I know where this is going. You like Spinelli, don’t you?
Leyla: Yes, very much.
Maxie: That’s actually not okay with me.
Leyla: Okay, are you saying Mr. Jackal is spoken for or –
[Maxie groans]
Leyla: Oh, wait, Matt.
Maxie: No, keep going. The less I have to see your arrogant face, the better my life will be.
Matt: Hey, Maxie, here’s a solution. Stay out of my face and I’ll stay out of yours.
Nadine spends the rest of the episode hiding in Matt’s room.
