Goofs[]
I can see how Nick heard the call to know where Doug & Kevin would meet, so he can plant the bomb to kill Doug. But he also heard on that call that Doug didn't want Paula there, but was due to Kevin's demands. I can see that he had heard on that call where Doug & Kevin would meet. The question is that given that he was there at the meeting to learn that Kevin was going to handle the story on Cabot Cove before he heard the phone conversation between Doug & Kevin, so why bring it up to have Jessica putting it together as to what he had heard between Kevin & Doug in order for him to plant the bomb ?
