Nicolette Grant is the second of three sister-wives in the polygamous Henrickson household(s), and like any middle child, she's desperate for attention — not to mention brimming with grudges. The attention Nicki gets, whether it's through her lacerating wit or unhinged revenge schemes (which motor the plots as nothing else on the show). Played with great sensitivity by the scary-good Chloe Sevigny, Nicki is voluptuous with need. Try taking your eyes off of her.
