But Nick regretted his transformation immediately. This perhaps put the
idea into Janette's head that there was an alternative to her undead life.
I've always thought of that line in this way, that she was happy as a
vampire until Nick, the companion she so wanted, wanted to be changed back
after he was brought across. She never doubted her nature before he came
into her family.
Or perhaps it was just sloppy writing. In FK it happens. You're so right,
she was 200+ years older than he.

I recall that Nick was, in the beginning, content with what he had
become. I've always thought that his disillusionment and hatred of
his nature came later, developing over time as the years passed and
the body count grew.

The details are hazy, given that it's been some time since I've watched the
episodes, but I seem to remember that the basis for the full break between
Lacroix and Nick was the ballerina situation. I was under the impression they
had been at philosophical odds for a time, but Lacroix's subterfuge
that lead to Nick's summary judgment of the ballerina was the proverbial last
straw for Nick.
I often muse that if Nick had exercised some discernment, he would have seen
through Lacroix's rather simple misdirection, but then that's the nature of
Nicholas de Brabant: he isn't a very discerning person at his core, tending to
wear his heart on his sleeve and to allow his emotions to rule him. And we
wouldn't have had the melodrama that's generated by our hero's fatal
flaw, then, would we? ;-)
Glad Washington is cooling off--the heat was enough to make cats combust...
