Under the effects of the Cracher-Mortel toxin, Nick causes the plane carrying him to Europe to crash, killing Baron Samedi. In his zombie state, Nick kills a man in self-defense before being captured and cured by the rest of the team. A residual effect of the Cracher-Mortel toxin, however, causes Nick's endurance to be increased along with his strength. Another side effect is that while sleeping or when holding his breath, he can appear to be dead, something that scares Juliette on more than one occasion.
