** In the comic Nigel suddenly becomes possessive when Tara starts spending less time with him and more with her dance school friends, especially when one is a boy, and almost shouts at her when she breaks things up due not being sure of her feelings anymore. This is actually the long term consequence of when Nigel's older brother, in his vendetta against Taranee's mother (the judge who sentenced him to jail) had him break things up and even help him vandalize Theresa's car, with Nigel writing up "unbearable scaredy cat" to hurt ''Taranee'' specifically (that phrase had been used by her when she got scared for nothing in his presence, and while her family was puzzled she recognized it). While they patched up things the damage was still done, and when they started growing apart he became possessive and precipitated things.
*** Nigel's brother being convicted by Theresa also explains why she was against Taranee dating him: one of her first cases saw her convicting Nigel's brother, then some time later she has to deal with Nigel being caught vandalizing in a museum and causing panic with a lizard man costume with Uriah's gang ([[NotMeThisTime they were actually innocent]], as they had snuck in to investigate the lizard man rumor and stumbled into Cedric and Vathek, but nobody believed them as the two had left before the guards showed up), it was inevitable she'd see Nigel as a criminal in making and obviously wanted to keep her daughter away from the bad influence.
** When he learns of the break-up, Peter is furious... At Taranee, as he knows how hard it was for Nigel to leave his admittedly sketchy background and clean up his act. Since Peter and Nigel were good friends, Taranee must have covered Nigel's involvement in vandalizing the car.
** Nigel is initially furious at the break-up... But then just disappears: after calming down he realized it was his own fault for the previous break-up and making the vandalized car personal with Taranee, and being a good guy he decided to just stay away from her and thus got out of focus. He may have even owned up to Peter about the car, and he wouldn't have taken it well.

This was actually explained in advance in season one, by stating she had created the Star of Threbe by using the ''Heart of Kandrakar'': the Mage was actually the Keeper before Nerissa, and given the character similarities between Guardians of a certain element she likely felt she could understand and redeem Nerissa (and possibly felt guilt at what happened her if she had trained C.H.Y.K.N. like Yan Lin did with W.I.T.C.H.), and could free her because, as the previous Keeper, knew how her bonds worked.
