Nicole Evenne Flannigan (née Bordeaux) (48) is the best friend of Victor and sister of Victor’s girlfriend, the vet. She is in the Flannigan family as the mother of Ozzy, Eliana, and Kira and is married to Kent. She speaks both English and French and has taught her husband how to speak it as well. She is a very nice person who has tried to make the best of her situations after losing her 74-year-old father-in-law Walter to cancer and then losing her 18-year-old son Ozzy two years after to Angelyn‘s fatal hit-and-run. Nicole knows Ozzy didn’t cross the street illegally and raised her kids to be smart and can’t fathom how somebody could just run him over in the road and leave him for dead. She hopes Kira grows up with a passion she loves and supports Ozzy’s love for ocean life and Eliana’s role in the LGBTQIA+ community and promotes them both, She and her husband are very close and often entertain each other.
She is a proud supporter of her sister as a vet and takes their retired guide dog Jazzy to her care whenever he needs it. Nicole has always wanted a family pet having grown up without pets due to her parent’s allergies and being low-key jealous that her sister has a job working with pets all day. However Nicole and her sister are very close and she knows her sister‘s job isn’t always easy and Nicole herself doesn’t think she could handle seeing pets in terrible health. On her stance with Victor’s youngest son, she believes Victor and his ex-wife also raised their children to be smart and that their teenage son was peer-pressured. She agrees that the parents of the teenagers who brought the alcohol should have came forward and that they are dodging responsibility. However she doesn’t talk too deeply into this because it gives her reminders of Angelyn killing her son and not going to prison until 4 years later. Since Angelyn wasn’t caught at the fatal accident, her BAC was never recorded at the time so there was no proof whether she had alcohol in her system even though she was confirmed to be texting. Nicole believes Angelyn may have had traces of alcohol since she was partying the weekend before, even though the accident was the following Monday. She thinks the 30 people partying at Victor’s ex-wife’s house are insanely lucky not to have harmed anyone and hates rowdy high school and college parties, thinking partiers who drink are “partying now, throwing their futures away later”. For that reason, Nicole tends to not get too deeply into the matters not just for her but also to Victor’s family because she is against spreading her own bias on other people. However she is open to looking for evidence to convict the other parents involved in the alcohol supplying teens who have stayed back from responsibilities while Victor’s ex-wife has taken the blame. Nicole supports her sister’s relationship with Victor and believes he is right for her. Nicole also supports Victor and believes he is a clever individual and is very thoughtful. She admires Victor’s ways of getting people to accept responsibility for their actions and believes everyone should acknowledge themselves. While Nicole can be biased, she truly supports Victor’s teenage son and believes he has potential to change his life around. She knows he tried to tell the police that day that his mother didn’t know about the party and that he would always feel terrible about getting his mother in jail and how that affects his relationship with his older brothers. Nicole is hoping Victor and her sister stay together and maintain their relationship despite the family drama, but keeps out as it is ultimately their relationship.
