Nikki interrupts his romantic meetings with other women from time to time. One time Nikki interrupts Neal while he is having sex with another woman. The woman gets mad and dumps Neal. Nikki then takes Neal to a resort town Whistler promising that she will make him meet other girls there.

They are successful in making Trish jealous. He tells Nikki that he wants her back but she dumps him.
