After the Captain dies in Chapter 26, Nick heads to Carlinsky for legal counsel. Carlinsky gets a call from BR informing him that Nick has just been fired by the Academy of Tobacco Studies and that the Academy would like to hire Carlinsky's firm as legal counsel. This causes a conflict of interests for the lawyer, who drops Nick as a client.
