A few minutes later Truman comes back in with the coke that Bobby planted in James' gas tank. Cooper then asks James why he had coke in his gas tank. Cooper shouldn't know where the coke was found, Bobby never mentioned to Lucy where he put it and Truman never told Cooper where he found it.
Plot hole: More than 24 hours after Ben is arrested his daughter Audrey comes and asks Cooper if her father was arrested. How has she not noticed that he is absent and in jail?
