This part of s1 is an important turning point for Nick and Monroe too. Just before this Monroe has been trusted with the trailer and saved Hank’s life. Now Nick is treating Monroe more carefully. And when Monroe is in danger he risks his life to save him.

Watching real close to see when exactly Nick loses the Disney prince bangs. Did it show up in season two after the scene with his mom? Like he went and got a haircut in the midst of everything that was going on? Or do they gradually recede through the back half of season one and I never noticed?

Someone mentioned it a long time ago but Nick really does make a point of touching Monroe whenever he asks for something. He’s always with the firm friendly shoulder grip and the big eye contact when he’s making a request that he knows is huge and annoying. And Monroe says yes Every. Time.
