Nicole pulls into the driveway of her house that's being renovated and parks directly behind Joe's truck in a one lane driveway. After a scene inside, Joe leaves ahead of her and drives away.
Nicole's blue Mini is in the driveway at her friend's house where the holiday party is at, but when she leaves, the car is not there and Joe volunteered to drive her home in his truck.
Nichol can't go in her house because it reminds her of Henry's death. So she's selling the house. But she's okay with going to the ugly Christmas sweater party that was the cause of his death. Plus the party is on the Anniversary of his death.
Gail must have an endless supply of casserole dishes. Nicole has about fifteen casseroles from her and she never asks for any of the casserole dishes back. Also, Gail never asks if she ever finished any of the casseroles.
If Nicole had Joe's phone number as he was fixing her house then she would have know he had Henry's old phone number.
