Short Summary: Very early in the morning in episode 6, series 1, Nick sneaks into Helen’s room.

-------------------------

Does he really think he’s being quiet? Even before I was pulled away, I always knew when you were sneaking out of bed, out of our room, and out of the house for another of your trysts.

Back then, I was too much the good little wife-of-the-tenured-professor I’d been brought up to be, and pretended to sleep on. Now, now I don’t pretend; no point to it. I open my eyes, and he stops, halfway to the bed.

“What do you want, Nick?” I ask. “My forgiveness?” anything else, and he would’ve knocked first.

“That’d be nice too. Actually I’m here to ask if you want chocolate chips in your pancakes.”

The End

Me: suuure you are, Nick. *rolls eyes*

So, who was he sneaking out of bed to meet? Stephen???

he stopped halfway to the bed - this is ep6, where he refused to share a bed.

good guess, though!
(wait, you mean in her memories of times past? maybe...Stephen, any number of feminine faculty and students too)
