Trevor's Arc Theory Cont'd
Spoilers for Ghosts 4x4 The Work Retreat
Updated for 4x6 The Primary Source
This week's episode adds to this feeling for me:
So, after the season premier, I had some thoughts on Trevor's potential arc this season. The premier kept making jokes about how Trevor was getting weak, and it made me wonder if he would be the next ghost to be sucked off.
One of Trevor's biggest character traits is that he fears having missed out. He feels like he did not get to live his life to the fullest or make an impact on the world, despite all the extravagant partying he did. He feels as though he wasted his life both career-wise and love-wise.
Today's episode reiterates that. He tries to give himself a redo by getting a job and making the social connections (legacy) that he desperately craved when alive. We learn that by posing as someone from today's society, his coworkers thought he was boring and old. This disappointed Trevor to no end because his 2nd chance was futile. That is, until he finds out that Pinkus allowed everyone to know how awesome and kind Trevor was and immortalized him in the finance world.
Finally, Trevor has the validation he so desperately craved. This, to me, would contribute to ticking off some unfinished business that could lead to him getting sucked off.
So, it feels as if Trevor's arc and clues so far this season are leading him towards that ultimate goal of being sucked off. If achieving the validation he craved while alive wasn't the trigger for being sucked off, I'm guessing the other dimension to Trevor's character, love, will be the final piece of that puzzle.
The Cutting Edge was mentioned again - a movie Trevor adores since it represents his ultimate dream: having someone he loves to share his legacy with.
So where does that leave us? Perhaps the last piece of Trevor's afterlife will be finding someone to love unconditionally and someone who loves him unconditionally in return... and the only real romantic relationship he has had in his afterlife has been Hetty.
While they appear to be on a break, Hetty and Trevor keep gravitating back to one another with their connection only deepening each time.
Update 4x06 The Primary Source
A ghost snail. Trevor feigns indifference about it. Yet the twist is that he is a big animal lover. He feels as though he let down his own dog by dying and has bottled up those feelings ever since. It takes this snail 🐌 for those walls to break down and even more of sensitive Trevor to be revealed.
So, not only do we get his making even more strides to resolving issues he faced due to his death, but we get actual foreshadowing for him being sucked off. The show creates a "false alarm" for the viewers as the heavens open up only for it to be for the ghost snail instead.
Trevor isn't ready yet but the evidence is certainly building up to support that it may happen in the near future...
