Please don't make such accusations unless you know what you're talking 
about.  Why do you think she's a Witch?  She hasn't done much unusual 
besides captivate a roomful of men with silly stories.  Spells are 
concentrations of mental enery that affect the self, not other people.

And as for Nicky, witches don't have the power to knock a car off a jack 
or kill their parents with magick (well, maybe with a carving knife or a 
gun... but not magick :).  Witches are real; remnants of _The Omen_ and 
_The Bad Seed_ are so far only documented as fiction.  Don't confuse 
Satanism et al with Wtichcraft.  Two totally different things.

Because he's been standing around in the background for most of the time 
and they're trying to develop his character more?  Or maybe it's just testosterone.  I think it's a side effect of being told silly stories by a captivating young widow... :)
