- Ian gives Bear terrible advice in the diner - he tells him not to confess his feelings to Nikki. Even the waitress thought he should. He also told him to call her Freaky Nikki - he knew it was a terrible idea, which it turned out to be.

- I think Ian knew that Nikki was quitting in a few weeks, so he lied and said "You have all the time in the world", knowing that Bear didn't, and would miss his chance. He probably heard it at work.

- Ian lied when he said that Nikki's dad did not have cancer. He could not get that information from a hospital due to doctor/patient confidentiality. He probably just guessed and hoped to be right. He even uses the phrase 'healthy as a baby' - the phrase is 'healthy as a horse' - babies notoriously get all kinds of illnesses - rash, colic, etc.

- Ian lied when he told Bear that Nikki said to Sarah she sees Bear as a little brother. If she did, Sarah would have brought this up when they spoke in the car, as it helps her case that Nikki is just using Bear to get revenge on Ian.

- Ian lied when he described it as a 'boys night' - he invited Sarah because he was trying to get them to kiss - he rigged the game. He wanted Sarah and Bear to get together so he could date Nikki. Come to think of it, Sarah and Ian might have even been working together - Ian may have told her to make sure she is sitting to Bear's left, and he would rig the game for her. Sarah did not move from her chair, or offer to swap with Nikki - Nikki had to move her herself.

- Sarah lied when she said that Nikki was dating him (Bear) to get revenge on Ian - revenge for what? If they were hooking up casually on and off for two years, then they weren't exclusive.

- After Ian wishes for a billion dollars, and Bear confronts him about Nikki, we think Ian confesses to hooking up with her, but he never actually says this, because he does not know that Sarah has told Bear this lie. He was going to confess that he has a crush on Nikki - he thinks Bear has figured out that he was trying to sabotage him this whole time - bad diner advice, boys night, dad not in hospital lie.

I think Sarah was trying to get with Bear, so she lied and said Nikki saw him only as a brother, and lied again when she said Ian and Nikki were hooking up. Ian was trying to split up Bear and Nikki because he had a crush on her like Bear did, so he tried to sabotage them by giving bad advice and lying.
