well, he will have no motive. At the end of season 1, Anita will leave town in grief as a human. Then season 2 starts with her as a vampire -- she's turned off screen by an unknown vampire, who will later be revealed to be Brad. He'd figured he would turn Anita so that they can live forever. But Anita will be mad that he made that decision for her and say she'll never forgive him. So he'll go mad and start ruining her life.

But all of this will happen outside of Mystic Falls. So Randy will never know that he turned or anything. As far as he's concerned, Brad died when he shot him.

In case you wonder here's how things will turn out; At the end of season 1, April's talisman will break Silas' control over Caroline. Overwhelmed by every evil thing she's done in the last ten years, she'll leave them. After Anita (who also left town as I just said) is turned, she will (coincidentally) try to feed on Caroline, but realize she's a much experienced vampire and will seek her guidance. Caroline (not knowing who she is) will be reluctant to mentor her, but once Anita is taken by hunters (who seek the one that sired her - Brad) and Caroline realizes she can't find her on her own, she'll enlist April's help and that's how the team will reunite.

So Brad's season 2 arc will not be revelant to his season 1 relationship with Randy :))
