After being injured during an assignment and receiving medication in the ambulance, he now sees and hears a small, blue, winged unicorn named Happy . This is the imaginary friend of a little girl named Hailey, who was kidnapped by a man dressed as Santa Claus. Happy was sent by her to ask Nick for help. In the process, Nick finds out why he was chosen: Hailey is his daughter, whose existence he did not know until then because he had estranged himself from her mother before she could inform him about her pregnancy.
