She and her husband, Joel's father, also visited Joel in Cicely. At the beginning of the episode, Nadine loved to talk. Marilyn became friends, warning Nadine of a possible fate by telling a vital story. Nadine kept quiet after the story, and was able to land successfully after falling off the cliff.
