[quote=Anonymous]My understanding of Nick's story so far:  He was young, unemployed and floundering when he was taken in and given a job by the man who turned out to be the leader of the Gileadeans. I got the impression that Nick became like a son to him, so he has an especially protected position as well as an inside track to power.

Nick is basically a really good guy, so I suspect that he is horrified by the human rights abuses but also has love and loyalty to his father-figure.

I think he was placed as a well-trusted spy in the Waterfords' home when he met June.  It would make sense that all the commanders are routinely spied upon by Eyes.  After all, in a regime like this, absolutely no one is really safe.  Joseph Lawrence has suggested as much.

As an intimate of the leader of Gilead, he would find out about the Waterfords' efforts in DC to get Nichole back, and he has the position or freedom to go there if he wants, so he did.

He's been officially elevated to commander and is apparently off to lead troops in Chicago now.  I still personally believe he'll ultimately side with the resistance but will work slowly from the inside. Only when he's in a position to make a decisive difference militarily will he give up his loyalty to his father figure and commit to overthrowing the Gilead regime.

What I can't figure out is why the Swiss said they can't trust him. They had to have known his past when they made the deal with June. Maybe they ARE working with him but just being coy about it with both the Waterfords and June for sake of security.[/quote]
