The mystery of what happened to Trevor’s pants on Ghosts has been revealed, and it wasn’t at all what I expected.
The first story fin-bro Trevor told about taking a bunch of drugs and dying of a heart attack right after hooking up with the limo driver was very on brand, but it also made me go “that’s it?”
There has to be more to Trevor than meets the eye, and thankfully, there was.
The exciting thing about Trevor’s backstory is that all of the other ghosts were already inhabitants of the manor at the time, so therefore, they already knew this story.
It was only Sam who didn’t, and her explanation for not inquiring sooner was that she didn’t know what the death etiquette was, which is fair.
When Ari arrived at the manor to buy the watch, Trevor was elated that one of his bro’s came to visit, but his excitement quickly turned to anger and heartbreak.
While all the ghosts remember Trevor dying after his drug concoction from pill roulette (yellow and blue make green), Sass never joined the “welcome committee” and stuck around to see all the finance bros freak out over Trevor’s dead body, which is how he knew exactly what present-day Ari meant when he called his bros and asked if one of them “snitched.”
After Trevor collapsed, the dudes were only worried about how his accidental death would reflect on them. They couldn’t go to jail — heck, one of them couldn’t even stay at a Sheraton, so they did what any logical and grown 30-year-old man would do… they called their rich daddies.
And, naturally, they landed on the idea of covering up the murder. And not just lying to the police that they didn’t know what happened, nope, they went full-on weigh his body down and drop it in the lake and pretend this never happened.
Upon finding out the horrific details, Trevor chalked it up to them “being scared,” but Sass knew even more about that night, and he knew that Trevor would never and could never do that to his buddies.
Why? Because he didn’t die pants-less after have good sex in a limo — he died because he took his pants and boxers off and gave them to Pinkus, the intern who was being hazed prior to being offered a full-time position. Trevor didn’t want him to have to go through with the run without cash and butt naked.
And this… this explanation simply made so much more sense. Yes, Trevor is a bro through-and-through, but he’s a bro with heart.
When the ghosts suggested ruining Ari’s life for breaking the bro code, Trevor took the high road once again by explaining that it wouldn’t make him feel better because his death was now a reminder that his whole life was a lie and that he didn’t have any bro’s.
However, that’s where he was wrong. His death underscored that while humans are self-centered and selfish people, ghosts are the most supportive.
They are bonded in a way that no living human, except Sam, of course, couldn’t imagine.
Instead of leveraging the truth to blackmail Ari, they pulled a “douchey” move. Ari’s drug addiction was so predictable that they knew if he spent any time alone in the living room, he would be tempted to hit up the drug drawer. Once he did, he found a note that read “I know what you did” that was signed by T-Money. And to make things even more legit, they threw in a Chekov Chill for good measure. How did they get one? No one knows, but it was the cherry on top to a perfect prank.
Trevor was overcome with emotion thanks to the ghosts, and he was finally able to tell Ari that he had been “chilled.”
Who knew such a bro-ey gesture could mean so much?
Poor Jay was really confused by the whole situation as he hesitantly joined in on the “chug” chant, but he was pretty pleased with the fact that he was able to negotiate an even higher price for Hetty’s late husband’s antique watch.
The sweet revenge only got sweeter as Ari had to dole out double the asking price to keep Sam quiet.
There was so much hype building up to the reveal of what happened to Trevor’s pants, and the episode delivered completely. I’d even say it was one of the best episodes of the season.
Thor and Flower spent some time away from the group as Thor’s therapy encouraged him to be open about his feelings, including the feelings he had for Flower.
While she loved Thor back, she also wasn’t comfortable with a monogamous relationship as in her previous relationships, there was always a third.
They set out on a hunt for a third, but the chosen one, Pete, wasn’t really into it.
Eventually, Thor came clean about not feeling comfortable with the whole thing and told Flower he would wait until she came around because she’s worth the wait.
Ghost love, I’m dead.
Also, we found out that Crash, the headless ghost, is still around so that’s comforting. I’ve been wondering what happened to him since the series premiere.
