The public separation

“Going through a public breakup, just to be honest, is huge,” she said in a confessional on episode 2. “I’ve never experienced anything like it. To be reduced to a title – to something as small as someone’s ex-girlfriend – I feel like if I finish this, it will have a huge impact on myself.”

A fan

“I really like her,” Nicole told Blanchard and Pratt in episode 2, referring to Swift. “I think she’s very talented.”

Interrogation

Before they call Nicole into the interrogation room in episode two, the SWAT troopers learn how Nicole was involved in Kelsey and Swift’s online relationship.

“Yeah, it’s pretty consistent (and) exhausting,” she told staff about the discourse. “It doesn’t matter – I could post about the sky being blue and people would get an answer about their ex and their new situation. It has unwittingly affected me to the point where it makes me question my overall worth as a person.

Nicole then began to cry. “That’s just the comparison. It’s just in cycle. I think I’m still trying to figure out how to deal with it.

When she returned to her colleagues, Nicole explained what had happened. “They pulled an article about my ex. I didn’t think they would,” she said. “They’re just really good at putting the pieces together to make it feel like I have to prove myself to people.”
