, when he was dispatched to the front lines in Chicago, and he's again MIA throughout the finale. Where the heck is Nick? Showrunner Bruce Miller has some answers.
"When Nick’s gone, he’s truly gone for June, because it’s not like she can look on the Internet or call," Miller says of the character's absence."It’s like he was plucked off the face of the earth, and in the novel that was such a strong feeling, that he kind of disappeared." The decision to keep Nick off-screen throughout the rest of Season 3 means the audience feels a similar sense of abrupt loss, but Miller says that wasn't originally the plan.
"We just don’t have the real estate in the show," he explains. “We would love to delve into more stories. We had all sorts of other stuff with Nick, and with characters like Janine and Moira. You really feel like you could have 23 hour-long episodes and every single one be interesting. In the end, we made the best we could of it. Max is a wonderful actor. He has scenes that we filmed that we weren't able to use, and it’s heartbreaking.

Miller says that discovery impacted June in a couple of ways:"First of all it’s like, 'God, this guy that I actually allowed myself to be intimate with and really opened myself up to is not what he appears to be.' That’s shocking up front, but at the same time, she certainly didn’t ask the questions.
