Nick is a Vessel for Lucifer; however, because he isn't the "true" vessel, over time Nick’s body slowly peels away and becomes more and more degraded. The longer he continues to be occupied by Lucifer the more his body suffers; Nick's body can't handle Lucifer's essence. Castiel tells Sam that Nick would be drinking gallons of demon blood in order to be able to host Lucifer ^{5.21 Two Minutes To Midnight} . Nick was dispossessed in 5.22 Swan Song.

Nick's body dropped to the ground directly after the dispossession. His current condition is unknown.

5.01 Sympathy For The Devil

Nick's wife and child have been murdered during a home invasion. As he grieves, he starts hallucinating. Lucifer appears as his wife Sarah and tells him that he is a Vessel, and that Lucifer wants his consent to possess him. Lucifer says he is misunderstood, that he was punished for 'loving God too much". He says that, to let Nick's family be murdered, God must either be uncaring or a sadist. He tells Nick possession will be painful, but that Lucifer will help him get justice for his family. Nick assents to possession. It has been stated that even though Nick was chosen to be a vessel, he wasn't Lucifer's true vessel (Plan B). Apparently Nick can barely contain Lucifer without exploding.

In 5.03 Free To Be You And Me, 5.10 Abandon All Hope and 5.19 Hammer Of The Gods Nick's body appears to be decomposing, falling apart under the effort to contain Lucifer. Castiel tells Sam and Bobby that Lucifer would be drinking gallons of Demon Blood in order to maintain the integrity of the Vessel.^{5.21 Two Minutes To Midnight}

5.22 Swan Song

Dean and Sam meet up with Lucifer at an abandoned apartment. Nick's appearance looks even more run-down and degraded than before in episode 5.19 Hammer Of The Gods. After much debate, Sam agrees to be Lucifer's vessel. They both agree that the one who resists the other gets their way: If Sam wins then he jumps into Lucifer's Cage, If Lucifer wins, well... then he wins. Nick's body was seen motionless on the ground after the dispossession, presumably dead.
