* BlameTheParamour: Trent becomes [[MistakenForCheating convinced that Charlotte is cheating on him]] and scouts out potential "man-mistresses," eventually narrowing it down to Geoff. Trent is no more than condescending and passive aggressive towards Charlotte, believing that she'll come back to him as soon as the other man is off the island. However, he is incredibly angry with Geoff, even ''punching'' him after Charlotte dumps him. When Trent learns that Charlotte got with [[spoiler:Mel]] after she dumped him, he lashes out at [[spoiler:Mel]], but is more concerned for Charlotte due to [[spoiler:Mel's history of being a SerialHomewrecker]], and assumes Charlotte's new relationship is just a phase she needs to overcome. Eventually, Charlotte snaps at Trent for not trusting her word or respecting her agency in the whole ordeal.
