Bryce Kendrick appeared in the episode Grey Water. He was the killer of his friend Dan Becker.

Dan Becker was trying to dig up dirt on Milman Oil. Dan knew that Milman Oil was bribing people to sell their land for their oil fracking operations, even though the operations were harming the environment.

Dan collaborated with Co-Operate (an eco hacking group) to orchestrate a robbery within Milman Oil to get that dirt. Dan had a back injury, and so he got Bryce to help him with the robbery. Dan found what he was looking for, a little black book of names of people Milman was bribing. Bryce found what he was looking for, the hush money.

Dan didn't want to go there for money. He argued with Bryce demanding that they give the money back. The argument got heated and Bryce stuck Dan in the head with a rock knocking him out dead. Bryce decided to throw Dan's body in one of the fracking tanks to make it look like Milman Oil was responsible for the murder.
