You see i'm slightly on the other side in this in that both Leanne and Kal know that the brain injury caused lasting damage and that stress is a huge factor in triggering any relapse so should have been more conscious of that in their dealings with Nick from the start. Maybe Kal is finally feeling guilty since he originally came into their lives to help Nick with his recovery but has actually just caused more stress and made him worse. And I do think the stress has made nick worse - not with his 'funny turn' but his temper which had been getting much better until he found out about Leanne and Kal.
Also, maybe Kal is just hearing warning bells - that if Leanne can turn on the man she married less than 2 years ago like this then what is to stop her doing the same with him? I know I'd be apprehensive if I saw a new boyfriend treating their ex (a healthy one, let alone the condition Nick is in) the way Leanne is Nick, no matter what the circumstances of the split.
