Brianna who in Episode 1 found out about her husband Jeff cheating on her has mixed thoughts through the second episode as she contemplated what to do next. Episode 2 came with a twist as we see Jeff suffer from amnesia and forget about the cheating after undergoing brain surgery for the removal of a cancerous tumor. This throws off Eve as she still wants her family to be together with the development an opportunity for a fresh start. But she was still torn and angry about the whole situation. In Episode 3, we see her go to a lawyer to file for divorce where she's asked if there's any chance for reconciliation. The meeting is interrupted when she gets a call from her daughter's school for her kid using the expletive bi***. Jeff who got his memory back stands up for his wife as he says the Nasty Bitches is part of her identity and that is something to be proud of. Brianna is visibly touched by this intervention as she smiles at him. He too wants to be forgiven and restart their life. The end of the episode saw Brianna come home after a tiring day as she pours her heart out to Jeff who's watching TV in bed. She gives a touching speech about giving him a second chance and how she still loves him and their family. When he doesn't respond she gets pissed for a second but notices he's not moving. In a shocking twist, she finds her husband is actually dead and he passed with his eyes open. Jeff had been complaining of headaches and we saw the episode culminate with his death as Brianna shuts his eyes and holds him close.

None of the viewers expected the episode to end this way and were left aghast. Viewers had hated his cheating but didn't want him to actually die. This is how fans reacted to the character's death.
