So, I’ve been thinking about Brett from inside job and one thing is confusing me big time that no one is talking about.
Bret has a sister. It’s very obvious that Bret had a sister, you can see her in this picture. But in the heart wrenching birthday scene that we all know he doesn’t mention her?
She’s clearly in the portrait behind him. But, he only asks the butler about his brothers? His parents are on a trip, his brothers are in military school and rehab, but what about his sister? What happened to her? WHY DOESN’T HE ASK ABOUT HER? Was she already there? Did she just leave? Did she die???? I don’t know. Does anyone know? Am I just stupid? Lmk what you guys think.
It seems like, out of all of his siblings, Brett was the only one to turn out relatively successful, since his older brothers got sent to military school and rehab. This leads me to think that the parents mistreated them, too, but instead of neglecting them like they did to Brett, they might have been victims of psychological or emotional abuse.
In a lot of abusive households, one of the kids is often mistreated to be set as an “example” of what the others will suffer if they disobey the parents. Maybe they were pressuring the older kids into success (especially since the dad said “all of my kids are champions… except for Brett”).
So, for the sister, part of me wonders if she was driven to self destructive behavior… and didn’t survive it. Perhaps drug usage led to an overdose? Maybe she suffered similar psychological problems to Brett and was led to something no worse?
Theory: Season 2 will show that Brett is a sleeper agent planted by JR
I’ve heard people theorize that Brett is a secret agent, but I personally think he’s a sleeper agent, aka, he’s an agent whose been brainwashed into being unaware that he’s a spy.
(Keep in mind: I don know for sure if this is true. These are mostly just interesting things I noticed when rewatching the show and seeing a lot of weird coincidences).
@simplyender it’s crazy that this never crossed my mind when writing this, but yes! It would be a neat parallel to Reagan.
Brett has always been Reagan’s foil, so, when it turns out that the man she saw as her father ended up only using her as a pawn, what better way to demonstrate that similarity in Brett by having his father figure use him as a literalpawn?
Also, I’m gonna descend into madness for a bit here:
In the first episode, we see some new employees watching a training video and seemingly getting a seminar teaching them how Cognito Inc functions. A seminar that Brett, notably, does not attend. So, not only was Brett hired with no prior experience, but he was immediately given a leadership position without receiving ANY kind of training or prep for the job, and his position gives him a disturbing amount of power. Almost as if JR doesn’t expect much legwork out of him. Hmm…
It just struck me that JR emphasizes the fact that Brett is a “co-leader”. Not an intern, but a LEADER. As in, he is in the same level of power as Reagan, and Reagan is next in line to be CEO.
I mean, I get that Reagan isn’t the most social person, but in that case, why not make Brett her ASSISTANT, or her secretary, or her spokesman? That way he still has the same responsibilities, but it makes sense for him to be an unpaid intern while she presumably makes a full salary. Why give him so much power for a role that purely seems to be morale-oriented and speaking to the team in a passionate way? And why does he work full time if he’s not even getting paid?
Brett in episode one even mentions that no one has given him anything to do. Everyone else, while they like him, are probably just as baffled as to what skills he actually has that can be put to good use, which is probably why he had the free time to go get bagels. Episode 2 shows that EVERYONE but Brett has a designated job and station (Gigi is in subliminal marketing, Glenn has the war room, Andre is a biochemist, and Myc has the milking room). Brett has no actual tasks that just anyone else couldn’t do, and, unlike Reagan, he doesn’t have much in the way of specialized skills or accomplishments. Of course, Brett TRIES to be helpful wherever he can, since he’s just nice, but it’s never because it’s his specific role. Perhaps it’s just that he’s an intern, and intern jobs tend to be pretty aimless (I would know lol), but, in that case, why does he need to be in a leadership position specifically? Why would JR give someone with nothing to do that much authority?
But this all makes sense when you consider that JR has Brett put there just in case he needs someone to challenge Team Ridley for the power of the company. Brett and Reagan are both on the same level of authority, and, even though he doesn’t really feel like it, Brett technically has the same potential for getting promoted that she does. JR doesn’t need Brett to be especially skilled or smart or anything, he just needs someone who could, theoretically, take control of the company just in case Reagan or Rand are out of commission, and someone who could possibly sway the black robes into releasing him from Shadow Prison X…
AND ANOTHER THING:
You guys know how in the intro, there’s a bunch of imagery related to different theories? Well, one thing has stood out to me. This:
It’s literally just Brett in some sort of weird kaleidoscope? It’s not even related to any real conspiracy or character moment, it’s just Brett in a weird formation. This is even weirder since none of the other characters are portrayed like this; we see Reagan in a robot version of her own face, Gigi and Andre taking a selfie over Glenn’s surgery, and Myc giving his spores to apes. Brett is the only one NOT given an actual scene to do.
It’s also weird to me that his eyes are white here. It’s a little hard to tell, and it’s possible that it’s just an animation error and his eyes are normal, but it weirds me out because exactly ONE other character also has white eyes.
Jimmy Fallon. You know, a sleeper agent. His eyes go completely blank as his mind is overwritten and he obeys Gigi’s instructions to kill the crisis actor.
Gig mentions that the reason Jimmy laughs so much is because Cognito “broke his damn brain”. In Ep. 10, when Younger Reagan asks Brett if he has brain damage, he says that the “doctors aren’t sure.”Hmm… so Brett went to the doctor for a brain issue and the doctors couldn’t “tell” if he was brain damaged or not?
If we’re to believe that Brett is a sleeper agent, than I think the kaleidoscope formation could be symbolic of the brain damage the sleeper agents are forced to endure in order to be “functioning” properly.
just wanna quickly point something out: brett DOES have pupils in this scene. hes also off model and only has 4 fingers.
Omg you’re right!
I guess I had a pretty bad tv to not see the pupils lol. I really thought they were blank this whole time!
And about the brain damage comment: I don’t mean to imply that Brett’s possible brain damage is explicitly because of the sleeper agent theory (especially since the stuff you brought up is incredibly plausible). I meant that the fact that Brett and Jimmy Fallon (the only names character who is canonically a sleeper agent) both had references to brain damage and I found the coincidence to be possible foreshadowing of psychological trauma. I apologize if my post came across as ableist, that wasn’t my intention and I hope I didn’t hurt any feelings.
In this case, I’ll revise my previous reblog; The kaleidoscope effect in the theme song could still be symbolic of the process in which a sleeper agent is; kaleidoscopes represent multiple facets, and I think that could literally mean that there are multiple sides to Brett.

(Keep in mind: I don know for sure if this is true. These are mostly just interesting things I noticed when rewatching the show and seeing a lot of weird coincidences).
For one thing, the show makes it clear that Brett, for all intents and purposes, would make a good spy. Not in the same way as Rafe Masters, whose really more of a really showy operative than an actual spy (Reagan even points this out when he breaks through a glass ceiling very loudly and attracts a bunch of attention). Actual spies in real life are meant to be normal looking, boringly mundane, and good at staying out of trouble for fear of blowing their covers.
The show early on points out that Brett is always below suspicion, and the show even goes out of its way to do that to the audience as well. Still, there is a big amount of foreshadowing that Brett is some kind of agent. For example;
His face is “so generic that it can’t be traced by sattelites” and he can literally infiltrate the White House just by bullshitting the guards, which isn’t an easy task even if you are a generic white dude in a suit. Alpha-Beta also proves this when he gets Brett’s name and identity wrong (despite being a super intelligent AI, and Brett coming from what seems to be an incredibly wealthy family, so his information seems to be completely wiped from whatever database AB was using).
Reagan, in episode one, is immediately suspicious of him and thinks he’s too good to be true, and everyone else brushes off her concerns because they think she’s being crazy. The audience might have even been suspicious of him, too, at least before he turned out to be genuinely sweet and her “evidence” was shown to be quite flimsy. There were even some viewers who were genuinely surprised Brett turned out to have nothing up his sleeve, mostly because, when this cliche happens in other shows, the “perfect” person turns out to be actually villainous, while in Inside Job, Reagan seemingly turns out to be in the wrong.
In episode nine, Reagan throws the accusation that Brett is a “sleeper agent planted by Abercrombie and Fitch” and the gang only backs off when he mentions his therapy appointments. It doesn’t really matter too much, but it’s VERY weird that Reagan makes the same accusation in both the beginning and end of a season to the same character, especially since they’re best friends. So, I’m led to believe that, in season two, she’s gonna accuse him again and it’ll be much more dramatic.
JR also has Brett go undercover as a rich guy to trick Bezos into buying the yacht. And Brett somehow SUCCEEDS at it, even though he looks like an idiot doing it. JR also notably pulls Brett to speak in private A LOT, and perhaps only really does it to Reagan as well. It’s possible that it’s because Brett is new, but it’s something that has happened quite a few times.
Brett mentions always wanting to be a spy, even as a child.
Also, as an aside, we know sleeper agents exist in this world, since Jimmy Fallon is one apparently, and references are made to others.
The reason why I think JR is the one who planted Brett as a sleeper agent is for a few reasons:
For one, JR is the one who apparently hired Brett. Even though he already had Reagan in line to get promoted to leader, and he knows she can do it, he still hires an unpaid, inexperienced intern who doesn’t even seem to know how anything in the company works? To LEAD the team on his first day, and not just start at the bottom and work his way up? I get that this is meant to be a joke about the fact that Brett, a cis white guy, gets the same job position as Reagan, a half Asian woman whose put in far more work and obviously deserves the promotion more. But, like, Brett didn’t even APPLY for a job, since he supposedly met JR at a barbecue. It’s pretty funny he got hired despite having 0 qualifications, but it’s also suspicious.
This almost seems like JR is just being shallow by hiring him; but we’ve also seen JR be genuinely intelligent, ruthless, and manipulative when it comes to running Cognito. He’s not really someone to hire some random shithead off the street, but he is the type to deliberately plant a sleeper agent among the gang for later use.
Compared to everyone else, Brett almost feels TOO normal for his job. I understand that that’s part of the joke, that he’s just a regular guy at an insane workplace, but it also seems a bit jarring because he’s just so normal. Almost toonormal, as if it’s on purpose.
So why? What goal could there be for JR to put in a sleeper agent? Well, perhaps it’s just a fail safe for if he were to be knocked from his position. Maybe activating Brett’s sleeper agent status is a worse-case scenario; if JR managed to achieve his goal of getting a black robe, then he could leave the company in the care of Reagan and Brett, and no one would ever know Brett’s true nature. If someone happened to get in his way of getting his promotion (*cough* Rand *cough*) than he has another option open…
So, why do I think. Brett is a sleeper agent, and not just a regular spy? Well, the thing is, a sleeper agent is different from a spy in that they are completely unaware of the fact that they are undercover. While a normal spy is essentially putting on an act, a fake persona to make them seem friendly, boring and harmless, a sleeper agent is basically just a regular person with no malicious intent until they are “activated”. In other words, Brett would have no idea that he’s undercover, which would mean his sweet personality would be completely genuine, not just a trick to garner trust.
This would also explain why Myc wouldn’t know he’s a mole; if Brett were a spy, and his nice personality was just an act to trick people, Myc would have figured it out on day one when he read Brett’s mind. This would fill in any plot holes about his mind getting read and explain why he wasn’t outed sooner.
You know, it’s pretty fascinating that Inside Job is literally a story told from the perspective of the evil minions. The fact that everyone talks about murder, genocide, and controlling the government so casually and calmly, treating horrifically world altering events as office banter, abusing their power every now and then for entirely petty and self-serving reasons, and working for a corrupt evil organization that controls most of the world. Inside Job is set in a dystopia and we see the show through the everyday lives of the villains.
Like, the Gang are all quirky and funny, but, they’re also all kind of evil? Even Brett, who we usually think of as a harmless himbo, and he’s arguably the LEAST destructive out of everyone and tends to question his morality a lot (“I can never remember how evil we are”) is still perfectly willing to get his hands dirty and kill someone, given the moon episode where he stabs a man in the NUTS WITH A FLAG POLE and tosses a bunch of other guys into the vacuum of space. Brett has a body count yall
Reagan is obvious, she’s legit a supervillain, Glenn is perfectly willing to burn a town to the ground just because he feels like it (in The Brettfast Club, he kept a flamethrower in case their cover was blown), Gigi constantly refers to having legit killed people (she mentions using acid to get rid of a body) in the past and covering for corrupt celebrities and politicians. Andre seems harmless on the surface, but he mentions having created “as many cures as diseases” which means his body count could legit be in the THOUSANDS, if not MILLIONS. No wonder he uses drugs.
Funnily enough, despite how much of an asshole he is, this makes Myc the least terrible person by default, since he hasn’t actually killed anybody as far as we know. He’s mostly just along for the ride and uses his position to engage in self-serving stuff lol.
Adding onto this, I also realized that Reagan and Brett (the main characters) both have moments where they act even more villainous than usual, which may or may not act as foreshadowing for how both could become even WORSE somehow, or act as a way for both to have some self reflection in season 2.
Reagan becoming more of a villain when Rafe Masters was stalking her is a bit more of a debatable example. Rafe was incessantly stalking her and being sexist, and was generally pretty nuts, but Reagan’s idea of faking her death and accidentally leading him into a wild goose chase and eventually chaining him to a table in a freaking volcano to kill him with a laser is perhaps the most stereotypical “villain” thing she could ever do. There are a lot more references to Reagan being an eventual villain; other characters describe her as being a future supervillain, she offhandedly mentions wanting to rule the world, and Robo-Reagan is directly a version of Reagan without any self-doubt who becomes controlling and murderous.
Perhaps this means that Reagan has the potential to become a “true” villain not just by being morally bankrupt and petty like she usually is, but if she were to be more like her DAD; entirely self-serving without even the excuse of good intentions to defend herself. At least current Reagan has the excuse of being SOMEWHAT well intentioned (at least compared to the rest of Cognito Inc) and not being a total monster. Her villainy is understandable and (as many viewers can say) kind of relatable. What’d make her go from villain to supervillain is losing the last shreds of a conscience that she still has and letting her ego and pride get the better of her.
Reagan being a potential super villain has been discussed by fans a lot, but I personally think Brett is just as capable of the same thing. After all, both of them serve as each other’s foils.
Brett is unique in the cast that he doesn’t FEEL like a villain (and sometimes fans of the show tend to baby him a little and forget he’s part of the shadow government) and he’s the most friendly out of everyone and questioning of his morality, but the one time where he becomes a true antagonist is during the Brettfast Club, where he gets transformed into Nostalgia Max. Unlike Reagan, who becomes a worse person when she loses touch with her empathy and becomes prideful, Brett becomes more villainous as he loses touch with reality and becomes more desperate to be loved (or the illusion of it); Nostalgia Max tries to cultivate a family that flat out doesn’t exist, all in the name of recovering from decades-old trauma that he never fully healed from and, in many ways, refuses to acknowledge the depths of.
While this version of Brett was under the influence of the Nostalgia substance and probably wasn’t in full control of his actions, the episode highlighted how far Brett is willing to go to stay in a fantasy; right before he was transformed, he was trying to use the substance to brainwash his friends into staying with him in Still Valley. That sounds cute and harmless, but if he had gone through with it, than it could have left them all brain damaged and potentially blow everyone’s cover, or create a bunch of nostalgia-empowered lunatics and inadvertently cause more trouble.
Brett becomes an ACTUAL villain when he’s unable to resolve his trauma and, in his efforts to preserve what he thinks is healthy, ends up being toxically positive and putting others in danger inadvertently. Basically, a truly villainous Brett would be someone who, after years of not receiving validation for his people-pleasing, might decide that the only way to receive the affection he craves would be to TAKE it for himself, consequences be damned.
Basically, the difference between a truly “supervillain” Brett and Reagan is that “supervillain” Brett hurts people as a side-effect of his goal to shut out any pain he suffers, while “supervillain” Reagan is aware of others being harmed but doesn’t give a shit because the end goal is her own pride being maintained.

Ok for those who’ve watched Inside Job onNetflix, did Brett ever lose his 80’s powers??? Like can he just use them but never brings it up ever again? Because it’s never told THAT HE LOSES THEM???
Maybe Brett can’t control his powers completely, so he opts to just never use them again rather than risk going haywire on everyone.
The way Reagan was able to stop him was by appealing to his neglectful childhood and acknowledging his pain, so I just thought the 80s thing wasn’t really about the 80s per-say, but about his emotions surrounding the era? After all, the chemical was nostalgia, so it makes sense that it would distort his thinking and rationality (like it can do in real life sometimes). So whenever he uses those powers, he would have to tap into those same coping mechanisms?
