My favourite moment in Nesta's character journey is in HOFAS, where we see that after ending ACOSF fully brainwashed by the IC into believing she's a worthless human being who might earn respect by spilling her guts doing what they ask of her and licking their arse, Nesta has got her self-respect back and is refusing to be a Night Court lackey.
Veering into headcanon here, but I reckon that's the influence of Gwyn and Emerie giving her unconditional love for once. They've been showing her she doesn't need to grovel for the IC's affection.
