I wonder how many of those eighteen rehab stints were actually deals made to prevent Nick from going to jail/prison instead, for something criminal he’d done?

The family over ruled Romy and are not going to pay Nick's bills. If Jackson doesn't get paid Nick will have to be tried like the rest of us. He does't deserve to be walking around.

If I were one of Nick's siblings, I'd be terrified that he would murder me in a psychotic episode. He clearly needs to be in a forensic Psychiatric facility for life.
