When Earl calls the restaurant to tell her he got cold feet, they end up talking. Eventually Nell reveals that in high school she had self esteem problems because she never lived up to her parents' expectations (for some reason not revealed) and she hid her hurt behind her jokes and singing. Contrary to many opinions, she had spent her evenings at home alone instead of out with friends.
A very touching episode in this reveal of her vulnerability which I don't recall being explored before. And at the end of the episode? Earl does indeed arrive at the restaurant.
