At 11:55, Vito complains about a drunk guest at the wedding who repeated stories about the cops taking his kids away and ignored the social cues to shut up.
At least this finally explains why he was so oddly overdressed with a shirt and tie in the
photo with Riley that weekend instead of the neverending lineup of mite-infested tank tops. Speaking of which, Vaedo may have been generous only calling him "drunk" when the room in that photo was
way too well-lit for Nick's pupils to be so dilated:
It's too bad that April 18th will be too late for piss tests to figure out exactly which of Juju's various party favors Nick picked from the above list, but it would be funny if any certified drug recognition expert glancing at his social media were to cite that photo as good cause for starting his probation with a hair follicle test looking back three months, with no patience for whatever Quora science he throws back at his PO to no avail.
Obviously those results coming back way hot won't trigger a new charge since mere use without possession isn't a crime, and they won't trigger a probation violation since probation conditions hadn't started yet, but his PO could absolutely still use proof of pre-probation recent use to fuck him over in myriad other ways, like making his later testing schedule much more frequent and for a longer period than it otherwise might have been, making home visits involve more invasive searches than previously anticipated, forcing him to do a new chemical use assessment and real-deal rehab instead of acquiescing to Nick's attempts to dual-purpose his the CHIPS-related CUA and
"recovery" program outpatient rehab that are now seven months stale, etc. If only Nick had ever had a significant criminal practice, he might have realized just how badly he's self-raking with this "send-off" bender he's been on lately. Was it worth it?
