    Unless Nick is going to be playing a larger non romantic role later, I think his character is basically unnecessary. The silly love triangle in s1 was silly enough because we all knew they were cursed and that Snowing were true love and Kathryn/David were not really married. It’s the same situation here: HenElla are clearly TL and married and going to be together. The love triangle aspect is redundant and, frankly, this show does NOT do love triangles well. Ever.

    In a way it’s actually a love square, if you count Drizella/Ivy trying to get with Henry.

    Based solely on the name and the timing, I’m guessing that Nick is Santa Claus. (Or at least that he’s the Santa of EF2. EF1’s Santa, of course, is Kristoff.)

    Nick is Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk and/or Jack the Giant Killer. He and Henry talk about giants, and Mark Isham even recycled Jack’s theme from “Tiny” during the same scene.

    Sure, but that doesn’t close the door on other possibilities on a show that does combo characters.

    I mean, i agree with all the giant references too, so he’s probably all of the above.

    Just, the way he showed up and helped with the courts, reminds me of some hallmark or lifetime movie where the single mom’s new quirky neighbor turns out to really be Santa Clause.

    s he really Lucy’s father? Is he a good guy? And will he cause a “bizarre love triangle” between Henry, Cinderella, and himself?

    I’m pretty sure that Jack isn’t really Lucy’s father. I think Lucy is Henry’s kid. There was the flashback in S6 with Henry and Lucy and she called him “daddy.” The only way that Lucy could be someone else’s daughter is if Ella was two-timing Henry in EF 2.0, which would further alienate her from the audience. I don’t think that is the aim of the writers since I believe we’re meant to root for Ella and Henry, who’ve been compared by the writers to Snow White and Prince Charming.

    And Nick’s importance is basically to be the Kathryn of Season 7….
