Briller was my favorite pairing going into the season & then Bryan just disappeared :(

If I were to guess, it's due to Jonathan Whitesell's schedule. He got a regular role on Beyond, as well as several other acting roles. Similar to how Alycia Debnam-Carey choose the regular spot on Fear the Walking Dead over a guest star role on The 100, Whitesell may have made a similar decision.

And given the "bury your gays" trope), the writers weren't going to go kill another LGBT character. Thus, they needed a way for Bryan to fade into the background while still being 'alive'.
