Gwen and Trent

__NOTOC__
This article focuses on the interactions between Gwen and Trent.
==Overview==
The relationship between Gwen and Trent was arguably the main relationship during the first season and the first few episodes of the second season. In the first season, Gwen and Trent gravitated towards each other quickly and hints of a mutual attraction between the two were clearly visible as early as the first episode. Though there was a point in time where Gwen was unsure if she should trust Trent, he made up for it and their close friendship culminated in a brief kiss. Shortly after this, the trust was broken again due to Heather's scheming, as Heather wanted to make Gwen miserable again. After sparking a fight between them, she planned on getting one of the two eliminated, which she successfully managed to do when Trent was voted off in Search and Do Not Destroy. Regardless, Gwen and Trent managed to make amends by the end of the season and began dating.
In Total Drama Action, their relationship initially started out strong, but became increasingly unstable due to the stress of the competition after they were placed on separate teams. Furthermore, Gwen was quickly becoming closer friends with Duncan, which caused Trent to become jealous. Trent was desperate to keep his relationship with Gwen healthy, going as far as throwing challenges hoping to impress Gwen as Owen mentions that girls like winning. Gwen quickly notice this and thinks that because of her, Trent becomes mentally unstable. In 3:10 to Crazytown, Gwen and Trent broke up as Gwen couldn't bear to see him changing for the worst. Unbeknown to them, Justin overheard their conversation and accuse Gwen for having an alliance with Trent. Pressured by this, Gwen told the Killer Grips to vote Trent off later that night. Because of her guilt for breaking Trent's heart and telling his team to vote him off, Gwen throw her team's challenge in The Chefshank Redemption and voted herself off. Their relationship were the main topic in the first two aftermaths where majority of the contestants and the audience sides with Trent over Gwen, believing that Gwen had sold him out (not realizing Justin's role). When Gwen arrives as a guest in the the second aftermath, all misunderstandings between the two are cleared and the two remain as friends. After Total Drama Action, the two of them move on from their relationship, with Trent seeing other girls while Gwen begins to fall for Duncan.
In Total Drama World Tour, Gwen and Duncan started dating after Duncan broke up with Courtney, fulfilling Trent's prediction from the previous season. Despite this, when the two of them met again in Aftermath Aftermayhem, the old couple were still able to interact in an awkward, friendly manner with no signs of jealousy from Trent like before.

===Opening sequence===
The opening sequence ends with Gwen and Trent looking lovingly into each others' eyes, until Cody pops in between them, separating them.
===Not So Happy Campers - Part 1===
It is first hinted that a relationship will arise when Trent smiles at Gwen after he arrives at the Dock of Shame. She looks away, believing this smirk is only a flirtatious dig, but then reconsiders it, and smiles at him, without him looking. She looks at Trent again and smiles for the first time. In the group picture, Gwen was leaning on Trent, who was leaning over on Noah. They are both assigned to the Screaming Gophers which allows a future in their relationship to continue.
===The Big Sleep===
Towards the beginning of the episode, the two are seen in the mess hall with several other campers and Chris. Before the "Awake-A-Thon," Trent approaches Gwen and asks her how long she thinks it'll be until everyone is out cold, Gwen responds with "about an hour, give or take." In the beginning of the challenge, Gwen comments on how bored she is. Trent then says that it's not all that bad for him because he has her to talk to. This episode was the first major step of the relationship, where they share their secrets and deepest thoughts to each other in an effort to stay awake for the Awake-A-Thon. This resulted in Gwen and Trent being the last two Screaming Gophers standing in the competition. When Trent finally succumbed to slumber, Gwen was devastated.
===Not Quite Famous===
In the beginning of the episode, Trent saves Gwen a seat next to him in front of the amphitheater. After breakfast, Trent manages to "snag" Gwen an extra muffin for her (something that occurs throughout the season). When the two hang out on the dock, Gwen states that Trent is one of the few people on the island who doesn't annoy her. Just at that moment, Owen and Cody suddenly storm in and cannonball into the lake, infuriating and soaking Gwen and making her return to her cabin. Trent is also clearly irritated by Owen and Cody ruining their moment. During the talent contest, Trent performs a song he made up about his feelings towards Gwen (without mentioning her name). When Heather begins her talent for the contest, she manages to humiliate Gwen in front of all the campers and the entire viewing world. Heather reveals Gwen's true feelings for Trent by reading one of her entries in her secret diary out loud. This causes Gwen to be more cautious about showing her feelings for Trent in the future.
===The Sucky Outdoors===
As the Screaming Gophers were walking through the forest, Gwen was seen walking dejectedly and Trent attempts to talk to her, though she rejects his approach due to the big "reveal" in her diary during the previous episode. Trent is seen later on defending Gwen when Heather says she should be the next one to be eliminated, referencing to the ant-farm prank Gwen pulled on her in the previous episode. Gwen was later seen clutching onto Trent's shoulders in fear on the ground and later his arm in the trees when Izzy pretended to be a bear attacking Leshawna.
===Phobia Factor===
Gwen is dumbfounded and terrified to face her fear but Trent decides to stay by Gwen's side in order to help her conquer her fear of being buried alive. Trent gives her a walkie-talkie so she can call for him to dig her up if she panics. The two continue to have conversations with each other using the walkie-talkies while Gwen is still buried in order to keep Gwen from feeling nervous. While Trent is trying to explain why mimes are his worst fear, an actual mime sneaks up on him and causes him to drop the walkie-talkie and run away. After defeating the mime, Trent proceeds to get side-tracked by pranking Geoff with Chris. After hearing Chris use the word "buried" in conversation, he finally remembers Gwen and frantically digs her up, but not until much after her five minutes are up. Gwen held a grudge over Trent for several episodes because of this, until Trent finally apologized in No Pain, No Game.
===Up the Creek===
Gwen and Trent initially seek to ride together in the canoe for their challenge, as Trent motions with his eyes to the canoes, but Gwen is suddenly distracted by Cody's open offer to be her canoe partner while Trent is dragged away by Lindsay and Beth, who also want to be his canoe partner. In Gwen's canoe, Cody asks Gwen if the reason she continually turns him down as a love interest is Trent. Gwen is shocked and speechless at this very true accusation. However, Cody is glad to assist Gwen in her pursuit of Trent. Later, Cody saves Trent and Lindsay's lives by swinging on a rope. He fails, but still saves them when the rope swings back, allowing Trent to grab hold. Cody has a straight talk with Trent about Gwen, and is the one who informs Trent outright that she has feelings for him. Trent suddenly turns aggressive, reminding Cody that if he is lying that Trent could "easily rearrange his face." Trent then looks relieved though after Cody assures him that he is telling the truth. This means that the topic of Gwen was obviously sensitive to him, after he had gotten to know her well, as a friend. Cody then gets Trent to sit with Gwen in the canoe on the return trip from Boney Island. Although he also loves Gwen, Cody sacrifices his feelings for Gwen's happiness, knowing that she only likes Trent. At the Campfire Ceremony, they smile at each other when their names are called. That night after the ceremony, because of Cody's interference, Trent and Gwen became even closer and were also seen sitting together at the dock, smiling at each other.
===Paintball Deer Hunter===
Trent catches a can of beans that Chris tossed and would have otherwise hit Gwen in the face. She smiles to him in appreciation for the save. The two of them were chosen as deer, and went un-hit by the Killer Bass hunters.
===If You Can't Take The Heat...===
Gwen and Trent are seen working on the ribs together and smiling at each other, until Owen accidentally gives Trent a concussion by throwing a large crate of oranges at him. Later at the campfire ceremony, Gwen and Trent are seen enjoying their marshmallows together.
===Who Can You Trust?===
Gwen, in the confessional, talks about how she trusted Trent, only to be let down after the events of Phobia Factor.
=== Basic Straining ===
After Gwen is crowned the winner at the end of the episode, Trent is cheering for her with the other Gophers.
===X-Treme Torture===
Gwen tried to find out if Trent wrote a romantic haiku for her, and feuded with Bridgette over it, who thought it was written for her by Geoff. They repeatedly insulted each others' crushes while defending their own. Gwen not-so-subtly asked Trent about it before he took off on his skydiving challenge, but his reaction told her that he had no idea what she was talking about. Gwen felt bad for Trent after he failed to activate his parachute, resulting in him crashing deep into the ground and breaking most of the bones in his body. Ultimately, the haiku was written by Harold for Leshawna.
===No Pain, No Game===
Trent apologizes for leaving her buried alive, and they begin to mend the relationship. Trent even goes as far as mentioning that Gwen was the last person on the island he would leave buried alive if he had the choice, rendering Gwen smitten staring into the eyes of Trent. They whisper to each other intermittently between other campers' challenges throughout the episode.
===Search and Do Not Destroy===
The episode starts out with Gwen admiring Trent from afar while he is taking a swim. She is shown to be drawing Trent in his swimming trunks while pushing the cameramen away when she realizes she is being watched. Trent affectionately calls her "beautiful" when he asks what she is drawing. She blushes, telling him it was nothing. This is immediately followed by a confessional stall scene where Gwen tries to convince the viewing audience that she is over Trent, but quickly runs out of steam on that claim. She admires Trent's intelligence as she watches him retrieve his key for this episode, and in return, Trent helps Gwen retrieve her own key when he finds out that she is repulsed by skunks, because her key was located in a skunk hole. This leads to another couple of confessional stall scenes where Trent admits that he finds Gwen amazing for being smart, independent, and "incredible to look at." Gwen's second confessional starts with her trying to brush off Trent's good deed to her as nothing special, but quickly gives up the act and gushes over how incredible Trent is.
After this, Gwen finally kisses Trent, clearly to Trent's pleasure, and the two become a couple. Heather sees this, thinking they are forming an alliance. She had been against this relationship since the beginning and she resolves to break them up. By enlisting Lindsay's and Izzy's help to forge a love letter by Trent to meet Gwen at the Dock of Shame at a certain time for a "surprise," Heather has Lindsay lure Trent to the dock before Gwen is supposed to be there. At first Heather tells Trent that Gwen has just been mean to her, but Trent says Gwen is only hard to get to know. Heather tells Trent that Gwen never loved him, and was only using him to get further in the competition; only after telling him that Gwen confided with the girls that she found him to be a cliché with horrible music who she can't stand. Trent is suddenly kissed by Heather just as Gwen arrives at the dock. Seeing Trent kissing her mortal enemy breaks Gwen's heart as she runs off crying and stomping on the supposed letter from Trent. Trent, not seeing Gwen, goes an opposite way and vents his frustration on the beach. They then call each other names in the confessional stalls, both feeling betrayed by each other.
Leshawna spots Gwen crying in the cabin later, and asks what happened. After hearing Gwen's side of the story, she immediately runs out to recruit everyone, but Heather, Trent, Izzy, and Lindsay into a temporary alliance to vote off either Heather or Trent for what they put Gwen through, preferably Heather, as Leshawna was also an enemy of Heather. Unfortunately, Heather wins solo-invincibility in her challenge, leading to most of the campers eliminating Trent from the island. Heather reveals his elimination was all of her doing all along, which at least allowed Gwen and Trent to make amends before Trent boarded the Boat of Losers. Though Trent was the one voted off, Gwen told Trent that even after what happened, she was not one of the many who voted for him. Trent makes Gwen promise to fight to the bitter end for him, saying he would cheer for her watching from his TV. Gwen follows through on this promise by becoming the runner-up to Total Drama Island. They almost kiss again before Chris interrupts them to send Trent away. Trent says farewell as he sails away, giving Gwen a look of reassurance. She returns this gesture, but cries as he disappears into the distance.
===Hide and Be Sneaky===
At the beginning of the episode, Gwen admits to Leshawna that she is still depressed about Trent being gone. Leshawna tries to help her feel better by promising to make Heather's life a living nightmare, and assured Gwen that they would do so together for Trent. Between the previous episode and prior to the beginning of this one, Leshawna shredded Heather's clothing as another means of getting back at her for voting Trent off. She is enraged by this, but Lindsay, Heather's alliance-mate, considered it justified as she stole Trent from Gwen.
===Haute Camp-ture===
At the losers' resort, Trent says he hopes for Gwen to win and, after a moment's thought, admits that he had fallen in love with her (earning the attention and support of Katie and Sadie). He also hopes that Gwen would be able to forget the "Heather thing." However, Izzy adds that she thinks Gwen went too easy on him, saying that if she was Gwen, he would be "seriously maimed.” Trent looks a bit uncomfortable, and tells her how that comment was a little harsh. Izzy, though, points out that Trent did kiss her arch rival. Trent rebuts that he was tricked, but Izzy still thinks that he enjoyed kissing Heather, and responds by saying that that's what all boys say about being "tricked" into kissing someone. Later, when Courtney questions Gwen's team spirit, Trent reminds everyone of the selfless and brave acts Gwen did throughout the series to make her more of an appealing choice to the other campers who had lost and doubted her worth.
===The Very Last Episode, Really!===
Trent and the other losers return to the island to watch the final competition between Gwen and Owen. While walking past Gwen he gives her a smile, but Gwen looks away, trying to avoid his eyes. She looks embarrassed and blushes because of everything that happened when she last saw him. Trent aligns himself with Gwen and decides to run along with her throughout the competition, helping her in any way he could to convince her that he truly loved her, even though Gwen is skeptical about the claim. Though Gwen seems distant from Trent early in the final challenge, she proves that Trent's physical appearance still has an uncontrollable appeal on her, when he takes his shirt off to wipe off a pole for her. Embarrassingly, Leshawna was forced to interrupt Gwen's daydream to remind her that there was still a challenge to win. Trent smirks, self-satisfied at his effect. Trent continues to follow Gwen into the second half of the challenge when faced with the giant gorge. Though Gwen doesn't believe Trent cares about her, he calmly promises her he does, and tells her that the gorge doesn't look that bad and gives her a thumbs up. During this part of the challenge, Trent waves at Gwen encouragingly and she waves back with a smile. Trent nervously watches her the entire time, seeing her almost fall to her death. Trent also tries to tell Gwen, after much obvious consideration, that he loves her. Gwen, however, told him she couldn't handle any distractions, especially one that major to contemplate. Eventually, Trent's efforts led to him carrying a boulder for the later half of the episode, apparently to show Gwen that he was willing to go through any kind of physical endurance to remain by her side, and that he was sorry for everything. In fact, the rock was so incredibly heavy, that Gwen herself mentioned to Trent that he would kill himself from carrying it. Trent, however, grunted that he wouldn't give up on her, as Gwen smiled sweetly at the gesture.
After Owen reached the finish line first in his ending (with the help of Izzy and Lindsay), Trent pick Gwen up after the race. He then lifted her up on his shoulders, and asked her to "go out" with him, to which she finally agrees while laughing and pounding on his back playfully. He then takes her to the rap party, as a couple.
In Gwen's ending, towards the end of the challenge, Gwen is certain that she isn't going to win against Owen. She says she doesn't care about winning, and Trent tells her to not give up. Gwen retorts by asking why Trent doesn't just 'go to the stupid party, play his stupid music, and become famous.' Trent tells her that he won't do that because he believes in her and knows she can win, and that even if she does reject him as a love interest, she shouldn't lose Total Drama Island because she's mad. They share a moment of silence looking into each others eyes, and finally Gwen grabs Trent's outstretched hand. She makes it to the finish line, where Trent picks her up and congratulates her. At the bonfire, she receives her check, tells everyone that after her studies she's going to throw her own party where everyone is invited (except Heather) and then agrees to be Trent's girlfriend. The two share a hug, and the ending proceeds as normal.
===Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island===
left|250px|thumb|Gwen, Leshawna and Trent talk in the special.Gwen is seen mostly hanging out with Trent and Leshawna in the first season's special, stating that the best part about the competition was meeting the two of them. She looked forward to bringing them both over to where she lived so they could meet her friends from home. The three form a single team to look for the million-dollar case later on, rejecting Heather's request to join and laughing at her being tormented by the beavers. Both ultimately qualified to compete for the million dollars again in the second season.
==Total Drama Action==
=== Opening sequence ===
Gwen is seen inside the Lame-o-sine and shares a smile with Trent who opens the door for her.
===Monster Cash===
Gwen confirms in the confessional make-up room that Trent is officially her boyfriend, and talks about his good qualities as they are being chased by an animatronic monster for their first challenge. She admired Trent for his selflessness and apparently his ability to state the obvious. Trent calls Gwen "I love you, babe" as they fall into the jumping castle after being dropped by the monster.
===Alien Resurr-eggtion===
During the science fiction challenge where the contestants have to find some alien eggs, Trent becomes jealous when he thinks that Gwen likes Duncan more than him after seeing them laughing and talking about their favorite movie together. He attempts to fit in with their conversation by pretending he knows what they are talking about, but Gwen and Duncan see right through him, making the situation, as Gwen called it, awkward. Throughout the challenge, Gwen and Duncan are really into the game and are still mentally on the same page, and Trent still fails to keep up with them, though he, Gwen, and Duncan are the last contestants standing near the end of the challenge. Once Duncan is hit and Gwen pokes fun at him for it, Trent is all over this action in his confessional, priding Gwen on sticking it to Duncan for what he thought was out of spite. However, when Duncan laughs along with Gwen, Trent realizes that they are still friends, much to his displeasure.
Suddenly, one of the lost alien eggs is about to fall off the edge and break just as Gwen's lucky necklace is about to fall in the sewer. Trent chooses her necklace over winning the game (Duncan admits he would have done the opposite). Gwen gives the necklace to Trent for good luck, which seems to immediately work for him as Trent finds two other eggs on the ground. In the end, Gwen and Trent win the challenge of this episode, which makes them in charge of picking the members for their respective new teams (meaning they will be competing against each other). This twist takes them both by surprise.
===Riot On Set===
Trent's jealousy is further aggravated when Gwen picks Duncan first for her team. Out of spite, he picks "the beautiful" Lindsay for his team in an attempt to get back at Gwen. Later, while running up the hill, Gwen trips and begins to fall, but Duncan catches her. Trent sees this and asks what Gwen is doing with Duncan, to which she replies that they're on the same team. Trent trips a moment later and Lindsay helps him up, to which he tells Gwen that they too are on the same team. Although Trent and Gwen's relations are strained in this episode, Trent is still seen with the good-luck necklace Gwen gave him in the previous episode, hoping it will indeed bring him good luck. Once all the light equipment is up on the hill, Trent gets Owen to help bring up the trailer and brags about it to Gwen, calling her and Duncan punk wannabes. This shocks both of them, but Gwen assures that they would eventually take Trent (and his team) down. While preparing for the final challenge, Gwen tries to convince Duncan to play his assigned gangster role and encourages him by calling him "hot, sexy, stud-like" after he becomes angry at Heather for calling him a pretty boy. Trent overhears Gwen's compliments towards Duncan and has a very fearful look on his face.
At the end of the episode, Gwen and Trent met outside of the trailers, where Gwen assures Trent that Duncan is just a friend and Trent apologizes.
===Beach Blanket Bogus===
Trent's obsession with Gwen and paranoia that he will lose her to Duncan starts to affect his mental health in this episode. Duncan, for reasons unknown, starts resorting to pranking on Trent at the beginning by loosening the salt and pepper shakers at his table (ruining Trent's eggs as a result). Gwen smacks Duncan for being immature and stands up for Trent when Duncan calls him weird for panicking about only having eight pieces of eggs left on his plate (after Duncan swipes a piece), assuring Trent that she "likes weird," therefore encouraging Trent to behave weirdly throughout the rest of the episode.
At every challenge, Trent's strategy centers around there being nine of everything. This ends up causing Trent's team to lose or struggle during challenges. Trent also has a habit of counting to nine on his own, which disturbs his teammates and annoys them when he orders them to say his name nine times. Gwen notices this and initially takes comfort that Trent's nine-obsession is even scarier than his obsession with her until Duncan points out that the amount of letters in Gwen and Trent's names combined equals to nine (however, this is later proved to not be the origin of Trent's lucky number). Harold supports the theory by saying Trent's nine-obsession seemed to become apparent once Trent initially became interested in Gwen. Gwen panics, now convinced that Trent is falling apart because of her and can't handle being responsible for his mental damage.
After the sandcastle-building contest, the two meet up in the woods where Trent mentions that he feels he hasn't spent very much personal time with Gwen. Owen raises his eyebrows and knows what he means, making kissing noises, to Trent's aggravation. After Owen leaves, Gwen sees he is holding nine sticks, and replies nervously that she has to focus on the game and runs away. Disappointed, Owen reminds Trent that Gwen is focused on winning. Trent then follows Owen's advice and tries to win Gwen over by purposely letting her team win challenges. After he is chosen to go up for the dance-off in the final challenge, he mentions in a confessional that if winning is so important to Gwen, he doesn't see why it's wrong to help her do that, as he is Trent first and a Grip second. This leads to him throwing the challenge. Gwen is worried that it's her fault that Trent is acting so disturbed, but Duncan insists that it isn't, saying even she couldn't have possibly made Trent this insane on her own. After the challenge, Gwen calls Trent into the woods where she compliments his dancing skills. She comments that his ankle seems better (after he apparently "twisted" it as an excuse to throw the dancing challenge), to which he admits he's weird like that. Gwen agrees, and just as the two are about to kiss, Owen appears to ask if they are about to make out, leading them to throw sticks at Owen to get him to leave.
===3:10 to Crazytown===
Trent and Gwen's relationship comes to an end in this episode. At the beginning of the episode, Gwen comments that she isn't feeling well and Trent offers his water to her, saying she is the only person he wouldn't mind getting sick from. Gwen tells him her not feeling well is most likely allergies due to the weather conditions, but Trent takes her conditions far more seriously and vows to take care of her after wiping his bottle nine times quickly after Gwen drinks from it. Trent thinks this was a good move, but Gwen confesses that it just put them back to square one. At the first challenge, the Screaming Gaffers are up first and want Gwen to go before anyone else, but she tries to get out it by claiming she is sick. Trent, attempting to help her avoid it, mistakenly says that in her condition, Gwen would just likely fall from the sky onto the horse (the point of the challenge). Gwen flips out about this in a confessional, while Trent slaps his forehead multiple times at the stupidity of this move.
At the second challenge, a quick-draw, Trent purposely picks Owen to go up against the Gaffers, as his large size makes him an easy target and an almost-guaranteed win for the opposing team. Gwen becomes angry once again at Trent for throwing the challenge for her sake, but Trent still fails to see why this bothers her. He thinks that winning is what Gwen wants, so he just wants to make it easier. But Gwen wants to win fair and square. In the cattle-roping challenge, the Gaffers are required to wear humiliating cow udder hats (representing cattle, while the Killer Grips are cowboys/girls). Trent tries to ease the pain by calling Gwen "utterly" adorable, which Gwen finds lame and Trent once again slaps himself in the confessional, calling himself stupid for doing something wrong once more. During the challenge, Trent corners Gwen (who gives in to Trent), but he misses the point by tossing the rope on the ground without trying to wrangle her and pretends to be bummed out about "missing" his target. This makes Gwen extremely upset that Trent is throwing all of the challenges just for her. When the Killer Grips lose, Chris asks which one of them wanted to be branded with the letter "L,” to which Trent asks if they have the letter "G,” willing to brand himself in his girlfriend's name. Gwen finally thinks Trent has crossed the line (saying so in the confessional) and resolves to straighten Trent out once and for all before he becomes too mentally far gone for her to reach.
Instead of bathing in the barrel with the other campers, Trent takes a bath in the communal bathrooms from Total Drama Island, where Gwen meets up with him outside. She says they need to talk. Trent is worried he's about to get dumped. Gwen understands that people have their quirks, herself included, but calls him out on throwing challenges for her and tells him that she wants to win fair and square. When Trent asks what she means, Gwen tells him it's over between them. Justin happens to overhear this and confronts Gwen about it in front of the other Grips (minus Trent), announcing to them that she had Trent throwing challenges for her. The Grips are shocked in disbelief, but Gwen claims she had nothing to do with it. After a bout of guilt-tripping by her friends on the Killer Grips team, Gwen breaks down and admits Trent has been throwing challenges and she'd been letting him do so until this point, but tries to make them understand that none of it was her idea and wanted him to stop so she could play the game fairly like she always wanted to. Justin, however, doesn't believe her, making the other Grips hesitant to trust her as well. Justin thought that Gwen and Trent were forming an alliance to go to the final two after Gwen tells Justin and the Grips that none of that was her fault. When asked to prove it, Gwen tells them to vote off Trent, saying she just broke up with him and they'll be doing her a favor. Justin says they will do so, but reminds Gwen that she still "owes" them for what she had allowed Trent to do to their team that day. That night, Trent is voted off and is forced to leave without saying goodbye to Gwen. The episode ends with Gwen watching a recording of the elimination with Chris later on, asking the host if she was called back here to feel bad to which he admits to being the entire purpose of doing so. Crestfallen, she states that it worked.
===The Aftermath: I===
In this episode, which is a side-show featuring the characters who did not qualify for Total Drama Action (and those who did qualify and lost already), the non-participating contestants take sides in regards to who was in the right during the Gwen/Trent break-up situation. Cody and Geoff were the most notable supporters of Gwen, but the vast majority were in favor of Trent. Trent himself did not learn of Gwen's involvement in his elimination until Geoff accidentally blabs about it. In reaction to this, Trent cries and plays his guitar while waiting in the green room before being brought on the set.
When Trent is finally brought out on stage, he is asked what went wrong with their relationship, he answers that once they were split up into separate teams and Gwen and Duncan became close friends, things went rocky. Trent also says that he thought that Gwen was "more important than the million bucks.” This was proven to be true when the hammer from 'Truth or Hammer' didn't come down and hit him. When asked about his nine-obsession, he reveals that it had nothing to do with Gwen, but instead originated from a toy train he received from his grandfather, which he was close to, when he was young that lost a wheel before his grandfather died, leaving it with nine wheels, so his mother told him that nine was his lucky number. With his relationship with Gwen over, he was asked what kind of girl he was into by a fan of his. Trent sighs that Gwen was his type, but he will have to find a "new type,” insinuating that he has given up on Gwen for now.
At the end of the episode, Trent sings a song that he apparently wrote after he and Gwen broke up, the words being:
You ripped my heart out of my soul
You never text me back anymore
I remember the nights we stared into the sky,
But, now you make me feel like dirt
But I never told you that summer, girl, you were my entire world
But now you're gone...
===The Chefshank Redemption===
In this episode, Gwen calls Trent her "weakness" and "Achilles heel." She also mentions that ever since the 'awful' thing with Trent went down, she has been waiting for karma to "bite her in the butt." This means she is obviously feeling bad about breaking up with Trent and having him voted off.
Gwen's elimination in this episode also had a tie to Trent, as it was mainly a result to Trent's cheating. The entire episode, she is anxious and miserable, not only because of breaking up with Trent, but because the Killer Grips are constantly teasing her and 'reminding' her that she needs to throw the challenge, especially Beth. They also mention Trent several times, in a way of teasing her. Justin even says that "Trent would be proud of her."
It is also worth mentioning that Heather called Trent the guy Gwen was "so over." Gwen's Lame-o-sine confessional after this episode had mostly to do with her nerves concerning her guilt over Trent. Gwen sighs that she will never get her lucky necklace back from Trent, but says that it was karma, and she probably deserved it. She then tries to convince the audience/herself that she is relieved she is finally out of the game, but after a pause, Gwen's conscience finally catches up to her as she hallucinates that she is seeing Trent outside the Lame-o-sine window. Fearing confrontation, she demands that the driver drives faster. Gwen is embarrassed for herself, and asks if the tape can be shut off. Someone in the Lame-o-sine tells Gwen that there will also be an after show, in which she will guest star. Gwen is shocked and appalled at the news that she will have to explain herself to the world, and demands to be let out of the limo. This footage proves that Gwen is obviously feeling guilty and paranoid about everything she did to Trent and all of her remorse in regard to his feelings.
=== The Aftermath: II ===
In this episode, Geoff finds it amusing to "make Gwen squirm" over Trent, and constantly irritates her about dumping him. Gwen states that she doesn't think that breaking up with Trent was wrong; saying that couples break up all the time. At one point, she says that she "still really likes him,” but then explains that she feels the same about many of the other people on the show.
At first Trent tries to avoid talking to Gwen, but when she is about to go into a dunk tank filled with piranhas, he steps in and stops this, saying that he understands her side of the story since he threw the challenges. They seem to have forgiven each other, and are now on even terms since Trent has been getting tons of fan mail from girls. However, upon learning how much fan mail Trent had been receiving, Gwen forces a laugh and reminds Geoff and Bridgette that they were interviewing her, in order to divert everyone's attention from Trent after seeing how uneasy he becomes. As of this episode, the two of them return to being friends. Additonally, Trent's acton allows Gwen to regain everyone's trust.
In the Total Drama Action exclusive video, Gwen talks about how seeing Trent again wasn't easy. She then talks about how he has a lot of fans now and she seems to be a little disappointed in it. Gwen did however, say at the end that she was happy that he stood up for her and maybe he still likes her though upon seeing him talking with Katie and Sadie, she change her previous statement.
=== Million Dollar Babies===
Duncan reminds the audience of how Gwen and Trent's relationship went down hill after they were put on different teams, saying it was ugly. He also mutters a reminder to himself of Gwen and Trent while doing the wrestling challenge in the ball pit with Courtney, not wanting his relationship with her to end up like Gwen and Trent's.
===The Aftermath: IV===
Trent has a question for Beth and Duncan about their "character.” Trent gives the two an oddly specific, yet obscure, example about relationships (exactly what he thinks happened to himself): "Okay, like, let's say your boyfriend was being super nice to you, and nothing more, and you for some reason found that odd...and talked to his teammates about voting him out? And then they did that?" Gwen then looks away, seeming ashamed and somewhat guilty. It is unknown what happens after this.
===Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special===
After Total Drama Action, Trent has been seeing other girls and has no interaction with Gwen during the reunion indicating he has no plans of taking her back.
==Total Drama World Tour==
===Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2===
In this episode, Cody attempted to flirt with Gwen. Gwen still thanks him for hooking her and Trent up in the first season. Cody reminded her that Trent wasn't in the current season, and that she was available due to it.
===Newf Kids on the Rock===
In the confessional, Gwen comments on how Heather shouldn't let her feelings for Alejandro get in the way of the game, since Gwen's relationship with Trent did get in the way last season. However, she accidentally says she dated Duncan last season instead. She then corrects herself and says Trent and states that it was "a slip of the tongue." She then furiously lunges for the confession tape, just like Heather did earlier and Courtney later does in the episode.
===Aftermath Aftermayhem===
Trent bumps into Gwen as the contestants were anxiously pushing each other to participate in Blaineley's "Total Drama Second Chance Challenge.” He smiles at her and greets her sweetly, an unexpected act after everything that happened between Gwen and Duncan. He tries to engage in small talk with her, and brings up her new relationship with Duncan, nervously mentioning that he "didn't see that coming" (despite his jealousy and his assumption from last season). Gwen does not respond, opting instead to smile uncomfortably at him. Ultimately, neither one of them receives a can with a pop-up Chris in it, but Trent is put on nursing duties for an injured Tyler due to being severely injured from swinging into the room on a rope, and crashing painfully. Later, after Tyler is eliminated from the challenge, Trent is told by Blaineley to sit down next to Gwen, which, given the history between the two, causes an audible stir amongst the live Aftermath audience, expecting confrontation. As soon as Trent sits down, Gwen cracks a friendly joke about Trent's "impressive nursing" of Tyler, which makes them both laugh. The two of them peacefully sit next to each other, alone, for the rest of the episode. Their interactions hinted that Trent finally moved on and accepts Gwen's new relationship with Duncan and they are still able to become friends.

Gwen's prototype is shown to not get along at all with Trent in the initial form of the show, as they seem to be mortal enemies, even being seen strangling each other in an image. Instead, she supposedly has a relationship with Geoff, but the idea later scrapped for the final version of the show.
==Trivia ==
*This is one of two couples that have only kissed once on-screen with the others being Harold and Leshawna.
*A running gag in the series is that they are always being interrupted by somebody else when they are together, usually by either Owen or Cody.
*This is the only couple that is seen together in the promotional picture for the first season.
*They were both eliminated in the sixteenth episode of a season.
*This is the only couple in which both members threw their team's challenges.
**However, while Trent did it on his own free will, Gwen wasn't as she was forced and blackmailed by Justin to do so as she owed them.
*They were both involved in at least one of the each other's elimination:
**In Search and Do Not Destroy, Gwen thought that Trent was cheating on her with Heather, causing Leshawna to rally the other campers to vote off either Heather or Trent. In 3:10 to Crazytown, in order to prove there is no alliance between them, Gwen told the Grips to vote Trent off after he threw his team's challenge.
**In The Chefshank Redemption, Gwen felt guilty over Trent's elimination. Thus, she followed what she was told and threw her team's challenge and voted herself that night.
