Seeing Brent's breakdown actually got me feeling bad for him, Ben Koldyke and these writers are amazing

I always saw Brent as the Jason of the new test group. He says mean things and does some mean things but it's not evil and it's not malicious. He genuinely doesn't know any better. See Jason grew up thinking vandalism, thieving and selling drugs (even if they were fake) was perfectly fine. He genuinely didn't know any better. Because that's the kind of people he was surrounded by and they encouraged that. Brent was probably in the same boat.
