Except… maybe not. This is almost certainly in reaction to the phone call in the previous week of strips, which would at least be attempted either way since nothing changes on Nick’s end beforehand. It’s possible that if Jonah manages to not reveal that he’s at Anasigma, Nick wouldn’t have quite as much guilt-burden, but I imagine he’d say something either way.
It’s worth noting that this whole conversation “never happened” due to Jonah’s restore point.

… which is probably a good thing for Nick, because he’s confessing to the wrong team boss! The breach is at Anasigma, not Skin Horse….
That is some adorable Sweetheart in the last panel.
