Brent turns up to a chess-themed party despite not having been invited. At that party, the host Chaz plans a giant chess game, and wants Brent to be one of the pieces. Brent is none too pleased at this suggestion and he and Chaz eventually get into a fight, which in due course leads to tragedy as a drunken and angry Brent storms off before killing a young girl called Lea in a car accident.
Brent's reaction to the chess game tells us a lot about him. First of all, as we've already seen, he turns up uninvited. This shows us how cool he thinks he is; other people need invites, but not him. It also shows us his arrogance. Brent thinks that the rules don't really apply to him; he can do whatever he likes. The idea of being subject to other people's rules, especially if it means being physically moved around a giant chess board by someone he hates, is completely anathema to him. No one tells Brent Bishop what to do.
