but anyway the idea was that Branch notices Bruce and Brandi talking about how long its been since they've had time to themselves so he offers to babysit the kids so they can have a night off and go out somewhere.

since he's also keen to spend some more time with his nieces and nephews to get to know them better.

anyway the main gist of the idea is that throughout the time while Bruce and Brandi are away things start out all well and good but as the kids do what kids do Branch slowly gets more and more overwhelmed.

and eventually just some Random and ordinary noise or something causes him to be reminded of Bergens and Grandma and everything well he goes into full freak out mode on the kids shouting that they need to be quiet otherwise they'll all die.

​

and locking them all in one room to Hide and just acting overall a little Unhinged Bruce and Brandi arrive Home to see this and also see their kids are all sobbing and terrified.

meanwhile Branch snaps out of it and is Horrified that his nieces and nephews seem afraid of him now and a little later on after settling down the kids Bruce and Brandi just kinda calmly say that he shouldn't babysit again in the future.

​

their not exactly angry at a Branch more just being calmly and politely Honest that they don't really think it'd be a good idea to leave him alone with the children again.

given his problems could just bubble to the surface at any point Branch is quietly upset by this but obviously understands and leaves.

maybe so it doesn't end on too much of a Downer Branch does come back and make's things up to his nephews and nieces and it could end with Bruce and Brandi going out again for their own date night.

while Branch looks after the kids but this time along with Floyd and Clay and maybe JD Depending on if he's around so Bruce and Brandi are more comfortable that the kids will be safe even if Branch does have one of his freak-outs again.

​

anyway I just thought it was a sad but also kinda sweet idea that maybe Branch just has to come to terms with not being able to be counted on for a simple task like this to help out his brother that most other people do all the time.

due to his mental health problems but there is still an okay compromise with all the bros all helping out with the babysitting at the end.

what do you think?
