Hello I'm BK FFS!!
I agree with you in that Brian really did evolve. And I also get where you're coming from, Denise, with it being OCC. I wouldn't necessarily say OCC. I mean, yes he was just trying to be someone Justin wanted and trying to do everything to make him happy. Which, obviously isn't the healthy way to go about things. BUT the fact that he wanted to try, was willing to do anything to make Justin happy, is a sign of him evolving. Season 1 Brian would never.
