Ep 4. Will and Brent

Will and Brent is the fourth episode of the third season of Corner Gas, a Canadian television sitcom that aired from 2004 to 2009. The show revolves around the lives of the inhabitants of the fictitious town of Dog River, Saskatchewan, and their daily and often humorous interactions with each other.

In this episode, Brent Leroy (Brent Butt), the owner of the Corner Gas station, crosses paths with Will Stenback (Eric Peterson), an old high school acquaintance who left Dog River to pursue a successful career in the city as a radio personality. Will is back in town broadcasting live in the local radio station and reconnects with Brent after many years.

As they catch up and reminisce about their high school days, Brent feels envious of Will's accomplishments and starts to doubt his own choices in life. Will's success and urban lifestyle make Brent feel inferior and, at the same time, nostalgic about his past dreams of becoming a rock star.

Throughout the episode, Brent tries to impress Will with his guitar playing and songwriting skills, only to be disappointed by Will's lack of enthusiasm and interest. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang (Lacey, Hank, Oscar, Karen, and Emma) tries to come up with ways to prank Will on air and make him say embarrassing things.

As the episode reaches its climax, Brent realizes that he does not need to prove anything to Will or anyone else and that he should be content with his life and accomplishments. The final scene shows Brent confidently performing a song at the bar in front of his friends and patrons, including Will, who finally recognizes Brent's talent and praises him for it.

Will and Brent is a heartwarming and relatable episode that explores themes of envy, self-doubt, and acceptance. It showcases the strong bonds between friends and the importance of staying true to oneself. The witty dialogue, quirky characters, and subtle humor are trademarks of the show, which has become a beloved classic of Canadian television.
