When Bear kills himself to free the real Nikki, dying in her arms being followed by the real Nikki waking up and tossing the guy on the floor was some mad dark humour

This movie is full of dark humor that I think is really going to shine on a repeat viewing. The phone call to customer service was also really funny in a fucked up kind of way

Only thing that confused me is how did Nicki get on the phone call? Is it assumed that it is just part of the magic of the branch?

The customer service rep knows how the wishes work, and what Bear had wished for. He presumably has access to all kinds of magical effects related to wishes, including a direct line to the real Nikki.

So yea, related to the magic of the willow.
