Tonights midseason finale may have changed that, and her… and her relationship with Doc.
Its a messy situation, but thats what this show navigates best.
Holy War: Part 2 was one big ball of messy, starting with Jeremy and Nedley killing Nicole.

The short version: Her consciousness will be transferred to a frog.
Nedley will chant the whole time.
Then when the hourglass is done counting down, theyll bring her back to life.
You put my girlfriend into a frog?
Jeremy says, being classic Jeremy.
Luckily, when the frog chirps, all seems well.
Mam Clanton sees her frog by proxy is dead.
Doc has some free time to kill because he just got abandoned by Wynonna and Rosita at Steve Gulch.
It turns out Rosita got stuck there when the Revenant curse was broken.
Fellow Revenant Creepy Phil and his Revenant posse were after her because she slept with his wife.
(Doc decides to refrain from going to a place filled with scorned women.
Over at Shortys, things arent going as planned.
Reaper Billy busts into the room but only Waverly can see him and he knocks over a bucket ofotherfrogs.
Unaware that Nicole isnt in a frog anymore, Waverly tries kissing them all one by one.
Luckily, Nicole figures out the ghost thing very quickly and uses the light switch for Morse code.
And even luckier, Waverly knows Morse code.
Nicole sends them to the basement where she can inhabit Reaper Billys body.
She explains that she made a deal with Mam Clanton, a.k.a.
the Swamp Witch, that required a life for a life.
The covenant only ends when both parties die.
Instead, the head nun says they have to battle to the death.
Wynonna is about to say they wont do that when Rosita jumps on her back.
She even takes out her hoops, so you know its about to get serious.
Wynonna shouts out that she sees a Hemsworth in biker shorts while Rosita exclaims, “AXenareboot!
(good to cover all bases!
), and they flee as all the nuns turn to look.
Meanwhile, Doc goes to pick up Rachel from the sheriffs station.
While hes there, Holt wants to have a chat about putting aside their differences.
The men agree, and it genuinely seems like Holt wants out of this family curse.
In the weapons room, Wynonna and Rosita cant find Peacemaker.
The door is locked, but the nuns are set on breaking it down.
Just as the nuns break down the door, a sword starts glowing blue.
With one shot, shes gone.
Rosita is worried as the other nuns head toward them, but they just want to show their allegiance.
They bow to Wynonna and say she freed them.
Wynonna offers to take them from this place, but they say they cant leave it without feeling pain.
And thats when Rosita realizes these women are like her: victims of Wyatt Earp.
Shes found her people and wants to stay with them.
Wynonna leaves the sanctuary through the symbol portal and ends up in Shortys.
Jeremy and Nedley explain that Waverly is on her way to Magpie Ranch to take care of Mam.
The minute she dies, Nicole wakes up in the tub.
As Waverly stumbles out of the barn, she finds Wynonna.
Corral, he says.
Hes there to make peace, but Holt says its too late.
After Doc gets Wynonna to lower Peacemaker, he tells Holt its never too late to make peace.
With tears in his eyes, Holt lowers his gun and turns to get a drink with Doc.
And thats when Wynonna shoots him in the back.
Thanks for distracting him, she tells Doc in a moment that changes everything.
Apparently, Doc was the one who shot the Clantons at the O.K.
Corral after Wyatt shot and ran.
Wynonna says she never runs and never will.
I guess you and that gun deserve each other, he says, not budging an inch.
Inside, they all toast to their first and hopefully last exorcism.
Two shots in, Jeremy asks why Waverly and Nicole havent gotten married yet.
They both look at each other and say they had planned something.
Nicole starts to say, Waverly Earp…, but Wave says, hey, let me.
She proposes, Nicole says yes, Wynonna quietly sobs, and Doc sneaks out.
Its an emotional moment, filled with hope and sadness all at once.
And the saddest part?
We have to wait until 2021 for the back half of season 4.
Until then, well always have that stair scene.
Best Earp-ism of the episode:
She is a frog, and dead, and also a Reaper.
Stay with the plot, Nedley.
