Maybe not naming the episode 'Breaking Brandon.'īrandon ends up leaving the said session and locking himself in the bathroom, where he proceeds to sob, 'I can't do this anymore,' until production sends in his long-time friend and employee to calm him down. Maybe not including Brandon in the Taffer-tearing-the-bar-staff-apart session. What's the most ethical way to proceed? Maybe not including a montage of Mom struggling to walk. 'It's pretty hard to even get up in the mornings,' Brandon says, in an early-episode confessional, 'Cause, like, I don't want to.' His mom, who is chronically ill with multiple sclerosis, has poured all her money into the joint in an effort to support Brandon, who spends much of his time helping her and his dad. In this season 7 episode, bar owner Brandon runs Linda Lou's Time for Two in Layton, Utah.
