We can't use such wifomy logic especially after what transpired in JoJo. Scum completely convinced y'all to lynch Rhea over Dest despite the latter having strong incriminating mechanical evidence against him. Nothing stopping Nick from trying to save Misty. Saying he'd live in fear of being outed as scum cause of it is honestly just as silly as the opposite. Scum can't always live in fear of town.
Mentioning Rhea's name can ruin your day. Its true. I'll call the cops for that.
Sorry Flowa & Lind, please dont mind me.
