Special - Prom

"Special: Prom" is a special episode of the Brodies webseries, and the second episode to be produced. Most of the episode's content is considered to be non-canon.

The episode was created as an inventive method of allowing lead actor Christopher Hendrickson to ask one of his female friends, Gabbi Guzman, to his real-life high school senior prom.

Plot synopsis
Chris, Collin, and Gage begin their day at Gage's house and find that they have no cold ones to drink. As Chris and Collin leave to go to the store, Gage sneaks to the fridge to retrieve a secretly hidden cold one, but to his dismay, he finds that it has already been opened.

Meanwhile, Chris learns that he and Collin will walk to the nearby store, rather than driving, which causes him great anxiety. Back at his house, Gage finds a jar of pickles. Chris and Collin return from the store, exhausted, and carrying Surge. Chris learns of the random pickles and the "mysteriously cracked cold ones", and realizes that Spencer is to blame.

Chris chases Spencer into the kitchen, but Spencer disappears under the sink before Chris can reach him. Chris offers Spencer a cold one, and he obliges. Back in the living room, Chris asks the real-life Gabbi Guzman to go to the prom with him.

Production
The episode was produced as a creative way of allowing lead actor Christopher Hendrickson to ask Gabbi Guzman, a fellow high school senior, to his real-life senior prom.

Much of the episode's content is considered non-canon in the overall Brodies storyline. However, the episode introduces the canonical concept of Spencer as an antagonistic character with an affinity for pickles.
