It’s obvious that Dax is giving him marching orders up to and including supporting Riley and shitting on Eric July.
Speaking of:

I can't readily find his first tweet when Nick was arrested but the comparison with "Okay, you were right" (or whatever it said) would be funny to quote tweet to him.
a.) It wasn't a sweetheart deal. It was the standard sentence any first time offender in Rekeita's position would expect.
For me, it's not specifically Nick's pleading down to 3rd-degree drug possession that's the "sweetheart" part.
Kayla's charges being dropped is what's surprising. (April's were always flimsy.) (Additionally, the possibility of Nick having the felony expunged from his record was extra annoying. Yes, the 3rd degree felony dictates this but it still feels far too forgiving.)
I think it's fair to be a little shocked that Kayla is escaping all charges.
b.) They got the warrant after they saw him on stream, out of his head with white powder smeared all over his enormous beak. Why would they believe Kayla is the issue after seeing that?
Right. And he's the one being punished.
The only one. That's the weird part. As someone said on the other thread, she has a history of drug abuse. For her not to be under any supervision seems dangerous on its face.
I've read up on a lot of drug possession cases in MN counties involving couples (including several decisions from Wentzell). It's common for the wife to receive a lighter sentence but not a total walk on the charges.
Anyway, Nick getting the floral tribute tat for Kayla and discussing the hilarious idea of him and Kayla packaging up the 5K gift would indicate that she's still around so she's probably not institutionalized.
Just... Overall, the Kayla part of this feels very odd to me. It's almost as if the State believes she is being treated in another way, perhaps dictated by CPS?
