I've forgotten most of the details, but it was just after Cynthia Watros took over as Nina in 2019. Long story short, recently resurrected Nikolas started gaslighting Ava (who was also still grieving Kiki) and she ended up in the mental hospital. Nina visited - perhaps to gloat, i'm not sure - but she ended up feeling sorry for her instead. Nina then discovered Valentin was behind the scheme to have Sasha pose as her daughter. Somehow Ava and Nina found out Nikolas was alive too, so teamed up to take revenge on both Valentin and Nikolas, which culminated in Nina exposing Valentin at their remarriage and Ava blackmailing Nikolas into marrying her. And since then they've been friends ever since, besides that brief period in 2024 when Nina realized Ava was giving her bad advice about her marriage to Sonny so that Ava could have Sonny to herself.
