Yea, if Ralph mends the bridge with Rekieta that would be his first smart move in a while. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard with Nick, and Ralph definitely needs an adult (which Nick passes for I guess) to guide him through getting back and whatever fallout might precipitate from the shit he's not telling us about. I really doubt this 2nd, 3rd, 4th? near death experience will cause any sort of come to KANG jesus moments for him, so he will probably just flip the fuck out on Nick the second he mentions the beating or talks to someone who laughed at him.
