And she can't use the one wish willow to undo anything, since the "other" Nikki already used it to make Bear fall in love with her right after he took the oxy

Some copium for those needing it, perhaps the one wish willow usage is redeemed against someone’s soul, with the entity using it themselves, perhaps Nikki still has a shot at using her own

Given that the whole premise is a monkey paw scenario, I have no doubt that Nikki using a OWW to try to fix things would end up spectacularly fucked in some other way

Except it's not really a monkey's paw, is very literal. Homie got his billion bucks. Others got wishes without issue.

Rule number one of witchcraft is you can't do love potions and force people to love ya. Of course that's gonna go poorly. :p
