Nina tends to be very sarcastic in dealing with both Mary and Dick and was particularly angry when Mary's promotion left with just Dick to manage. Despite this, Nina can be quite kind to both of them, particularly Mary who she encourages to be more firm with Dick. Ironically, it was Nina who encouraged Mary to stop tormenting Dick and go out with him in the episode "See Dick Run".cite episode |title=See Dick Run |episodelink=List of 3rd Rock from the Sun episodes#Season 1: 1996 |series=3rd Rock from the Sun |serieslink=3rd Rock from the Sun|network=NBC |airdate=1996-05-21 |season=1 |number=20]
