I found Mrs Merrick relatively likeable when she was saying 'couldn't he just leave out that question?' and later at the concert - perhaps she's just not particularly good with the human young either and that's why she doesn't click with Nicola. Or possibly she thinks Nicola is liable to lead Patrick into more of the sort of adventures that lead to falling off cliffs. As opposed to what she probably suspects Ginty of wanting to lead him into, though I don't think there was ever much actual likelihood of it.
