- Following the events of Puff Piece, Nicole calls The Intern cool and invites them to come by anytime. She then tells them to make themself comfortable in Song of the Sea, offering to let them play on the keyboard if they like. She appears to be fond enough of the Intern to call them her new in-house pianist during Song of the Sea (Night), and expresses that the Intern can unwind at the cafe whenever they like.
- Nicole seems to be on relatively friendly terms with Paige, similarly calling her cool after Puff Piece. She and Paige speak at length in Song of the Sea (Night), where she expresses concern for the doctor. Nicole expresses that she finds Paige "a delight".
- In Seventh-Inning Stretch, Nicole notes to Cole that Lucky Jonronero, the new patient, is one of the biggest names on the Middlesea Scales. She is later spotted on the hospital baseball team that Lucky trains in Dreams Don't Stop, and amicably calls Lucky 'Coach', showing her respect for him.
