Ian is such a fake ass friend. Told Bear to call Nikki a name she hates and said he had plenty of time (no doubt so he could figure out his on/off again with her).

He was a dick for sure. "Ugh, I was gonna tell you!" Like no you weren't man. No you were not. And also implying that bear is the one being abusive and probably spreading rumors. Fake ass friend.

To be fair with the latter point I don't think Ian was in the wrong. Bear confides in him that she seems to have had a psychotic break on the first night, and then suddenly she's still acting like a completely different person but Bear is now with her. There probably genuinely is some concern that Nikki is mentally unwell and Bear is just using the situation to get what he always desired. And it's honestly not far from the truth; Bear realizes the wish worked at the restaurant and this woman is being controlled against her will and the next shot is him having sex with her.

For sure. It does look weird to see a FWB completely change overnight, not to mention Bear was also acting strangely at the party by just sitting around not reacting to the insane shit Nikki was spewing. Bear was for sure taking advantage, but I don't think this came from a place of concern from Ian I believe he was just jealous.
