Lol Nicky and Craig petty

reply

It ain't cool...but it also has to do with her dad and the family biz.

That is pretty nasty and her dad getting it right in his face.

I'm like Craig c'mon. You fcking the little girl your teenage nephew was in a serious relationship with. Yes. Very Petty.



I don't let anyone hot-comb out my HAIRitage!

And isn't she also 17? So wouldn't it be like Jay and his teacher and be illegal, not that it matters to them but they made a whole thing about it being rape with Jay so seems weird that they wouldn't mention it with Craig.

^^^exactly.

Jay only reminded the cop that she was basically a party to him being the victim of statutory rape so he could have some leverage over her. I don't think Smurf or any of them actually cared that he was sleeping with his teacher because he was underage. Smurf was more concerned about complications arising from the situation if he were caught.

reply

Right, they're morally bankrupt but if you're going to blackmail a cop over statutory rape, you might not want to be doing it too.

I hate how Craig gave J a look and said something like "Are we going to have a problem?" I mean, really? I get that they are not close but why be so aggressive towards him? Does he really think J is going to fight him for Nicky? Craig could pummel J in his sleep with one hand.

reply

The show name is animal kingdom for a reason, this family behaves like some animals. Craig is wild animal just doing some alpha dog crap, but he is sooo wrong. IMHO, I believe that J is a completly different kind of animal, a cold, Smart one waiting for the right time to attack. I don't think that he still cares for Nicky( at least not romantically), in a way, she is tainted by the Cody's now.

reply

That's J's problem. He does care about Nikki. That's why he broke up with her, to get her away from his sick brood. He blames himself for the situation she and her father are in; if he hadn't brought her around his family, they couldn't have (mis)used them.

And he's unable to rectify the situation. Nikki's father's next move will get him killed. And if Nikki wises up and speaks out, she'll be silenced too. Nikki's dad can't even press charges against Craig for statutory rape without going to prison himself. He's the only one who can be implicated in that burglary.

Has the show explained Nikki's problem(s) yet, why she's drug dependent, slacks off in school, so needy, and so easily manipulated? From what we've seen, her family appears to be healthy and loving. Perhaps her issues have to do with her birth mother's absence.

reply

Craig is a lot bigger, older and stronger than J. He also has Duran and the other brothers backing him up, so poor J was outnumbered.

reply

I highly doubt Baz and the other brothers would even get involved if it came to violence except to break them up. What do you think, they are all going to put the boots to J or something? Maybe Deran because he's close with Craig...but Baz and Pope would care less...Baz would probably try to break it up and Pope (being Pope) would just ignore it and walk away.

reply

And the possibility that Baz is J's father...

reply

Yes, that is why I wrote: Does he really think J is going to fight him for Nicky? Craig could pummel J in his sleep with one hand.

reply

^^^ITA.

reply

Indeed kinda *beep* from both of them, they deserve each other.

Also it was funny to see him threatened by J during that donut scene, like really Craig ? Is this guy still stuck in high school ? Even Darren is becoming more mature than him lately.

reply

Craig's all dick and drugs, but no brains! equals death or prison for him, too bad cause I love Ben Robson.

reply

Nicky is now entangled with J's family as well as bedding Craig. She is a a part of them now.
