I regret everything, thanks!!
Nash
6. MOST THREE RECENTLY WATCHED ON NETFLIX? Nash definitely doesn’t have time for Netflix but that’s a boring answer to a fun question so let’s pretend that he does, and also that he has access to it in Eighty Eight somehow and that Olivia is probably responsible for that.
I’m sure he enjoyed The Punisher, though maybe it hit a little too close to home? He switched to Archer after that and is enjoying it a lot more. He tried starting Stranger Things but had to quit after three or four episodes because the kids were too annoying and the cop guy wasn’t getting the respect he deserved.
18. WHEN WAS THEIR FIRST REAL RELATIONSHIP? HOW’D IT GO? Mid-twenties, and badly! Nash has had very few serious relationships in his life, and the only one that stuck for more than a week was Corie, a nurse he met when he spilled a drink on her at the bar. Nash was immediately smitten, and he and Corie went on to make a long series of bad decisions that culminated in the two of them eloping after knowing each other just over a month.
The marriage itself lasted maybe half a year. Nash spent most of his twenties dealing with some pretty serious substance abuse problems (not always limited to alcohol) and even when he was sober, the Agency was still his priority. Corie did what she could to make it work, but Nash didn’t seem particularly interested in fixing anything. Eventually she gave up, moved out, and quietly divorced him.
After his first attempt at a serious relationship ended so disastrously, Nash never really attempted it again, even after he got his shit together. It’s just not really his thing. Also before you yell at me, you did this to yourself.
Jack
22. DO THEY WANT CHILDREN? Haha, no. Jack is not interested in kids. His childhood wasn’t great and neither was his own dad, and he doesn’t particularly want to bring that baggage into another family. On top of that, he’s pretty self-aware and knows full well he is no the kind of guy who should be raising children. Could you even imagine what little nightmares they would be?*
(*Of course, you’ve all read Treats now and you know how this ends and before you freak out, Jack loves his kids just fine but Lou IS a nightmare so you can’t say he wasn’t right. Also, let’s be real, he tries is best but he is far from Father of the Year.)
23. OPINION ON PETS? CATS OR DOGS? Honestly, Jack probably always wanted a dog when he was a kid – but his dad didn’t, and that was the end of that conversation. His life after leaving Everly was not particularly conducive to pets, either, so he could never really get himself one. I like to think he makes a point of putting out food for the stray dogs in Two-Oh-Eight, though. He’s not entirely a sociopath.
Will
7. CELEBRITY CRUSH? Rachel McAdams, but only because while they were still in high school Olivia made him watch The Notebook and Mean Girls like, a lot.
9. BEST THING IN THEIR LIFE? Caroline’s an easy (and obvious) answer, and Olivia is probably a close second, but both of those seem like a cop-out so let’s try: his work. For all the shitty things he’s had to go through, Will genuinely believes in the Agency’s mission, even if the organization itself isn’t always perfect. It’s forced him out of his shell, made him realize his full potential, and given him like, a real goddamn purpose. And that’s like, a thing.
