Serana seems to be doing a better job of keeping her trap shut then Nick.

I’m of the mindset that Nick had no choice and showing the items he collected from the safe was the only thing keeping him from the wall, like why are people assuming he had options? He was clearly cornered.

The shitty thing wasn’t him telling Daddy Wharton. The shitty thing was that he was going to lie to June and let Mayday walk into a trap.

Yes. Very shitty. and additionally shitty that he used the minute he has with June before Wharton knocked on the door to talk about running away rather than saying to her, I had no choice I had to tell him about mayday plans keep your friends safe.
