Good observation which begs the question why is Nick acting so different
this time around? My opinion is that something happened to Nick to cause him
to withdraw from his limited association with humanity. Timeline wise on the
show when was the last time we see Nick before he turns up on Natalie's
examination table. Was it his time in Vietnam with the Red Cross in 'Hunted',
his work on the Senator's security detail in 'Beyond the Law', Nick's Greenwich
Village address from 'Close Call' or maybe the Red Scare incident in Chicago
from 'Spin Doctors'? There really wasn't anything unusual about his behavior
towards humans in those examples. I'm pretty new here so while I've got no
idea what the general fan consensus is on this matter I'm thinking that
something traumatic enough to cause Nick to step back a bit must have
occurred hence Nick's behavior in Natalie's office and later on in the
street.
Another reason for Nick's behavior could be that Nick's was trying to scare
Natalie off and while the vampire he's presenting her isn't the real him in
most cases it would be effective in scaring off humans.

Then why wouldn't he have pounced and eaten Natalie on first sight? Or
did it help just knowing he was nearby to bottled blood?
