Who is Nicole in ‘A Million Little Things’?

However, she left the scene of the accident. In season 3, Eddie recovered and found he would never walk again. He began stealing and hiding his use of prescription pain medications but eventually admitted himself to rehab. Eddie feels that the accident is the reason for his downward spiral and the end of his marriage. So, when he heard Nicole’s voice, Eddie had to find out who she was.
