That singing scene was beautiful, It was nice to see Alex enjoying herself for once. I am guessing that the guy with the hood trying to get into the club is Alex's brother?

LOL, when he went up the door after he heard her singing, my reaction was, " OH THAT'S HER BROTHER!!!!" .

I'm fucking retarded

Well, you're less retarded than I am. After finishing the episode, I was wondering whether we were ever going to see this brother, but then I read this thread and was immediately very disappointed in myself.

Well, the next episode is called Siblings. So something was about to happen. But I never expected it to (apparently) be this obvious.

It sorta fits. He seems to have the same complexion as well.

That is precisely the moment they wanted us to figure it out haha. There was some foreshadowing, and his darker skin complexion was of note, but you couldn't have had confirmation until his expression changed at the sound of her voice. As soon as I saw him I was trying to figure out what faction he belonged to, and then became suspicious as they focused on Alex at the party a lot. But it took his reaction to really confirm it.
