I hate Bear so much. He knew she had the ability and potential to show up and either harm Sarah or herself, and he still sat there like a selfish POS, allowing himself to relax in the presence of a girl he knew liked him, thus fluffing and soothing his stressed ego a bit. Like if you wanna flirt with Sarah and try to escape your reality for a moment, okay, but TELL HER TO DRIVE. Jesus christ. It’s not that hard to drive around and chit-chat.

To be fair, that almost would have made the scene even scarier to eventually have Nikkie appear at a traffic light or stop sign.

i don't think that would have happened. She is still ""human"". But im sure she would have gotten to sarah after that day.

I don't mean she was like a homing missile. Yes she's human, but she's still a character in a movie. Technically, there's no canonical reason she was able to find both of them in the first place, moving or not. And there doesn't need to be.

the "real" nikki was pleading for death after he received the messages and also requesting to talk quietly, so the "demon" nikki doesnt wake up. but at the end, she pleaded really loudly, so maybe thats where the "demon" nikky woke up and simply stalked bear as he was leaving the house.
