I may be in the minority but I am hoping that he turns into "one of the girls" with a legitimate bond with Tali/Lola/Maria and some personal growth rather than a bimbo who is easily manipulated, one-dimensional, and effectively just turns into one of the girls that he manipulated as a man (like Charlotte). I feel like that has already been done in the other stories.
Nick fit seamlessly into the trio's dynamic - even before turning into a girl - and even the teasing/sniping/annoyance just makes it seem like they have a sisterly bond. They can help him get in touch with his Latin(a) roots, become more mature, and learn to be less of a snobby misogynist (which is what his grandmother wanted) without drastically changing his personality or ruining his life. He does seem to have likeability and redeemable qualities beneath his spoiled and hedonistic exterior, which makes him an excellent candidate for a "redemption"/coming-of-age-type arc. I think he should get his money and split it with his new friends (and maybe send Charlotte to Paris as a thank you), and otherwise put it towards his new life. What the latter exactly entails likely depends on his time in Mexico (and potentially his new job) and whomever he ultimately "pairs up" with: Kevin, maybe one of the girls, or someone else. Maybe he even ends up without a partner and is happy just having a strong support system and pseudo-family who accepts his new identity. After all, he has plenty of money but not much in the way of family or even friends it looks like.
The story has already set up 3 separate groups of characters who have thrown curveballs in Nick's life and have driven the story: Sam and her friends to initiate the feminization; his lawyer, uncle and aunt to incentivize continuing with it; and Charlotte to accelerate it. I do not think they need someone like Maria stabbing him in the back for his money or otherwise causing irreparable damage to their relationship. She may end up being a part of the mafia that was sent to kill him to add an interesting twist but I hope that his relationships with the trio and Kevin make it to the end.
The only things that have thrown me off thus far is the casual suggestion to take pills to prevent a boner and him arbitrarily being named Daphne. The former probably could have been incorporated more naturally later on in the story (e.g. Nick was starting to accept being a girl but is conflicted as to how far he would be willing to go), but maybe it gets hashed out more elegantly later on in the story. I do not see him just randomly starting to take pills for his disguise. The other thing is with the name. While it is certainly on brand for Tali/Lola to arbitrarily pick a name to call Nick, I feel like it could have been a more monumental event in the story. The name represents a significant part of Nick's future female identity and it feels like Daphne has no real "value" other than nicknames like DeeDee or DafDaf. Plus, Daphne makes me think of the redhead from Scooby Doo and not really a "Latina". I am not etymology expert but it does not sound like a Mexican name.
It has the potential to be the best comic/story I have read in a long time if it is hashed out properly. Excellent transformation/feminization, great character dynamics and development, and a strong storyline without too many ridiculous plot holes or the overuse of sexual scenes to drive the plot. I imagine sexual scenes will still be featured prominently but they are more impactful when they are not forced. Excited to see where it goes from here!
