Oh, I'm getting all the thoughts and feels for this one.
Joe, who sometimes takes others to his bed, oblivious to the effect it has on Nicky.
Nile, finding out, that Nicky hasn't had another lover since Joe left him, and is willing to just take whatever Joe will give him.
Then Nicky and Nile are at a museum or an art gallery, and someone hits on Nicky. When he asks Nicky out to dinner, Nile can see that Nicky's going to turn him down, so she dives in and accepts for him.
When they get back to the safehouse/hotel, Nile starts going through Nicky's clothes and when Andy asks what she's doing, she tells them that Nicky has a hot date with a hot guy and that she's not going to let him out looking like a suburban dad.
And maybe it's then Joe realises that he's been lying to himself, and the possibility that Nicky could be with someone else, even though Joe has done exactly that, pains him.
