Despite the burning in his chest, Brett races out of his bed and into the bathroom. He stares into the mirror for what seemed like days, before turning and quite discreetly heaving into the toilet. He readjusts his silk robe, and walks over to the silver coffee service on his dresser and pours the steaming liquid into his delicate china cup.
Later, as his shoes click across the highly polished tile floor of the restaurant he frequents each day for lunch, he has a double shot espresso while discussing his plans for world domination with his third ex wife Tina who is now married to his twin brother Blake. Meeting half the town at this restaurant, and even coming face to face with his greatest nemesis, Lisa, his first ex-wife, does not deter him from laying out his plan in detail.
Later that evening, as the burning in his chest intensifies he meets his right hand man, Nico, at the docks being sure to blend in with all the others out for an evening stroll by sipping fountain sodas through a straw. Somehow, Brett makes it obvious that this activity is beneath him while making it seem sinister at the same time.. As he throws his finished cup into the river he turns and comes face to face with Tony. As Tony (Lisa's current husband) vows to stop Brett's plan, whatever it may be, Brett just laughs. He assures Tony that no one will be able to stop him and as a parting shot asks how things are going over at Rick's Garage. As Tony walks away, Brett holds his breath as the pain is intensifying, he's about to begin coughing violently, when Tina arrives holding two coffees. He smiles, and gladly accepts.
Y'all see where this is going right?
If not tune in tomorrow and find out:
Will Brett's condition stop him before Tony does? Will Tina double cross him in an effort to pull Tony away from Lisa? Will Lisa tire of her mechanic husband and come to Brett's aid, despite their tortured past? Will Brett wise up and stop killing himself, or will he be like his father who smoked despite needing oxygen treatments throughout the day?

wait! Who is the one who was really someone else but had a severly disfiguring accident and with his total face job no one recognizes him but they suspect something?
