Brady is a mixed-up dude who needs help.

But what I will never forgive is that he used the line So whats your secret?

when first meeting Brie at a bar.

Im just so exhausted.

Brady, c’mon see yourself out.

Especially the hot ones!!

Im not proud of it, but its my truth!

It does not, however, earn her a reprieve from still being terrible.

Go to L.A. and be free, child!

Join the Marines or dont, just get out of here!!!

Calvin

Honestly, banishing this woman from Virgin River would be for her own good.
