I have seen "Long Night's Journey Into Day" several times, including the scene where Nikki comes home and she is so angry she deletes someone who sides with Jenny as being very hurt to tell Nikki the relationship was nothing but a fling that served its purpose now that the filming was finished. Jenny was justifiably angry, and frankly sick of Nikki's infidelities, and that wasn't the first infidelity. There was Greg, there was Shane, and then Nikki comes back with her soft Cocker Spaniel brown eyes and says, "I'm so sorry, Jenny! I was drunk!"

The way Nikki took the rejection gives me the feeling she might have a part in Jenny's demise. This might be because Nikki is twenty as well. She is till very naive, and still has the level of thinking of, "Why doesn't everybody love me if I love them? Why doesn't everybody forgive me even when I hurt them? Why can't I just give someone whose heart I have broken my beautiful smile and spark my sweet Cocker Spaniel eyes and melt their heart?" Sorry, Nikki. You might have to give up that ego trip so you can learn how to function as an adult. Yes, you are beautiful and sweet, and you dress like a goddess, and all that, and the other day I saw someone who resembled you, and so on, but I think you decided to put your intelligence on a back burner for your own self-gratification, and that wears thin after a while.
