Gwen and Trent



The Gwen-Trent Relationship is the romantic relationship between Gwen and Trent. This relationship was prominently displayed in both Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action, and was canon for an extended period of time. However, due to Gwen and Trent's break-up and Trent's separation from Total Drama World Tour, the future of their relationship is uncertain.

Overview
Gwen and Trent have arguably the relationship most focused on upon the entire series. In the first season, Gwen and Trent gravitate towards each other quickly and hints of a mutual attraction between the two are clearly noted as early as the first episode. Though there had been some obstacles where Gwen was unsure if she should trust Trent, he made up for it and their close friendship culminated in a kiss, but shortly after, the trust was broken again due to Heather's scheming, as Heather is vehemently against the idea of the two as a couple. Regardless, Gwen and Trent manage to make amends by the end of the season and begin dating.

In Total Drama Action, their relationship became increasingly unstable due to the stress of the competition, especially after they were placed on separate teams, and Gwen was quickly becoming closer friends with Duncan, which caused Trent to become majorly jealous. This ultimately resulted in them breaking up and their subsequent eliminations. Later, in Total Drama World Tour, Gwen competes while Trent does not. How this will affect the relationship is still unknown.

Theme Song
The song ends with Gwen and Trent looking lovingly into each others' eyes, until Cody pops in between them to break them up.

Not So Happy Campers - Part 1


It was first hinted when Trent smiles at her when all of the campers arrive at the Dock of Shame. Gwen looks away, believing this smirk was only a flirtatious dig, but then thinks second of it. She looks at Trent again and smiles for the first time. They are both assigned to the Screaming Gophers.

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 this challenge will last. In the beginning of the challenge, Gwen comments on how bored she is. Trent then says that it's not that bad for him because he has her to talk to. This episode was the first major step of the relationship, where they tell 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 Gopher campers 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 at the lake, Gwen states that Trent is one of the few people on the island who doesn't annoy her. However, Owen and Cody suddenly storm in and cannonball into the lake, infuriating 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 about his feelings towards Gwen (without mentioning her name). When it's Heather's turn in 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 her secret diary out loud. This causes Gwen to be more cautious about showing her feelings for Trent in the future. Even before this situation occurred, Gwen feared about openly showing her feelings to Trent as she replaced her enthusiastic reactions to spend time with him with a more dry response, such as "whatever" when others were witness to the two interacting.

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 him. Gwen probably rejects him because of 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 in the previous episode. Gwen was later seen clutching onto Trent's arm in fear in the trees when Izzy pretended to be a bear attacking LeShawna.

Phobia Factor


The morning after all of the contestants reveal their fears, Chris announces the challenge. Gwen is dumbfounded and terrified to face her fear. Trent gently pats her on the back and leaves his hand there for comfort. 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. While Trent is trying to explain why mimes are his worst fear in order to distract Gwen from being buried alive, an actual mime sneaks up on Trent and causes him to drop the walkie-talkie and run away. Trent then gets side-tracked and ultimately ends up forgetting to dig Gwen up. He eventually does dig her up, but not until much later. Gwen held a grudge over Trent for several episodes because of this until Trent finally apologized in No Pain, No Game, but Gwen still shows through those episodes that she still likes Trent. Trent also references to Gwen's courageousness in this episode to convince the others that she was indeed a team player in Haute Camp-ture.

Up the Creek


Gwen and Trent initially wish to ride together in the canoe for their challenge, but Gwen is suddenly distracted by Cody's open offer to be her canoe partner while Trent is dragged away by Lindsay and Beth. Later, Cody saves Trent and Lindsay's lives by swinging with a rope and fails, but still saved them. Then gets Trent to sit with Gwen in the canoe on the return trip from Boney Island after they have a straight talk about her. Although he also loves Gwen, Cody sacrifices his feelings for Gwen's happiness, knowing that she only likes Trent. He is the one who informs Trent outright that Gwen has feelings for him. Trent reminds Cody that if he is lying Trent will rearrange his face. Trent then looked relieved about this after Cody assured him that he was telling the truth. At the marshmallow ceremony, they smile at each other when their names are called. They were also sitting together at the dock after that smiling at each other.

Paintball Deer Hunter
Trent catches a can of beans that Chris tossed that 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. It is unknown of what happened to them during the challenge, since they were not shown. They were however seen walking off into the woods together, so it is possible that they spent the entire challenge with each other.



If You Can't Take The Heat...
Gwen and Trent are seen working on the ribs together (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 talks about how she trusted Trent, only to be let down in the Confessional stall after the events of Phobia Factor. Interestingly, Trent was not shown having a reaction when Gwen's underwear was revealed during the rock-climb challenge (though Chris and Duncan's reactions were).

Basic Straining
Gwen whispered to Trent sarcastically about the boot camp challenge, saying that this particular challenge is going to be "fun." After Gwen is crowned the winner at the end of the episode, Trent seems happy and is cheering with the other Gophers.

X-Treme Torture


Gwen tried to find out if Trent wrote her 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' crush 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 feels bad for Trent after he fails to activate his parachute, resulting him crashing deep into the ground and breaking most of the bones in his body. It is notable that this is the first episode where Gwen does not try to deny her feelings for Trent to another person other than Cody. 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. 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 doing so, 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 (and/or herself) 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, which is where her key is located. 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.

[[Image:A very unfortunate event.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Heather [[Heather-Trent Conflict|kisses]]

Trent to devastate Gwen.]]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 wanting a monopoly on all alliances, 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 lures Trent to the dock before Gwen is suppose to be there. At first she tries to get Trent to think Gwen is just mean, but Trent says Gwen is only hard to know was all. Heather then told Trent that Gwen never loved him, and was only using him to get further in the competition. 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, While Gwen vents her on a dock. 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, meaning Lindsay (despite being Heather's closest ally) saw Gwen and Trent as boyfriend and girlfriend and apparently had no problem with it.

Haute Camp-ture
At the losers' resort, Trent said he hoped for Gwen to win and admitted that he had fallen in love with her. He also hopes that Gwen would get over the Heather thing. Izzy though points out that Trent did kiss her arch rival. Trent points out that he was tricked, but Izzy still thinks that if she was Gwen, he would be dead. Trent reminded 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. 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. Due to the massive, overwhelming support for Owen, he was the one who ended up winning, though he gave Trent encouragement that he could win over Gwen eventually before crossing the finish line. Trent was there to pick Gwen up after the race. He then lifted her up on his shoulders, and asked her to go on a date with him, to which she finally agrees. He then takes her to the rap party, as a couple.



In the alternate ending of the show, 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
Gwen is seen mostly hanging out with Trent and LeShawna in the hour-long special, saying 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. There was not much in the way of romance for Gwen and Trent in the special, but they both ultimately qualified to compete for the million dollars again in the second season. Unlike the other groups who came together in the search for the case, Gwen, Trent and LeShawna suffered no internal conflict over who would receive the money.

Signs of Change
As the second season begins, Trent and Gwen start out strong, but Trent is soon overcome with jealousy when he notices that Gwen and Duncan are getting along so well that it makes him uncomfortable. The tension escalates when Gwen and Trent are made to be founders of opposing teams, and Gwen's first pick for her team happens to be Duncan. Before Trent was eliminated in 3:10 to Crazytown, he and Gwen break up. Because of the circumstances (the stresses of competition, Duncan's conniving, Owen's bad advice, and the number nine misconception), whether Gwen will stand by her original judgment is yet to be known. It is interesting enough that all of the reasons Gwen broke up with Trent were fueled by another (i.e. Duncan, Harold, and unintentionally Owen and Trent's mother). This may lead to the conclusion that Trent is simply easily convinced by others to act the way he does, due to his own insecurities. Therefore, without stresses of the game, he would later return to the old Trent Gwen loved. Since Gwen is advancing to Total Drama World Tour while Trent is not, the future of their relationship still remains unknown.

Theme Song
Although no longer the main couple focused upon in the new theme song intro, Gwen and Trent are seen riding the Lame-o-sine together and are smiling at each other as Trent 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 "babe" as they fall into the jumping castle after being dropped by the monster.

Alien Resurr-eggtion
During the science fiction challenge where they 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 competitors 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 is asked 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 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 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 freaking out 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. Harold supports the theory by saying Trent's nine-obsession seemed to become apparent once Trent initially became interested in Gwen. Gwen freaks out, 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, to which she replies (after seeing he is holding nine sticks) that she has to focus on the game and runs. 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 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 her his water, 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 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 gets angry once again at Trent 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's just making 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 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". 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".

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, looking very uncomfortable with the amount of mail Trent has been getting after their break up. Since this episode, and every episode since, they are friends, but they are not back to be being a couple yet.

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: III
Now that Gwen is a commentator, she is sitting next to Trent. Although she didn't say anything, they appear to be on good terms. This is the first aftermath where their relationship isn't mentioned.

Mutiny on the Soundstage
Gwen and Trent are once again sitting next to each other in the Aftermath studio, seemingly all right with this. Notably, they are the only duo who are seen up close when the losers are shown anticipating either Beth or Duncan entering the studio first.

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 think 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 will happen after this, as DJ labeled the comment, "Awkward."

Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special
The two did not interact in this episode, and both seemed to have moved on from their messy break-up. Trent, who was the most affected by this, also got a new girlfriend while he was in The Drama Brothers, but supposedly broke up with her. While Gwen makes it to season three, Trent does not. This leaves the future of their relationship unknown.

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 the first season. Cody reminded her that Trent wasn't in the current season, and that she was available due to it.

Camp TV
Gwen is shown to not get along at all with Trent in the initial form of the show, as they seem to be mortal enemies. Instead, she has a relationship with Geoff. See the Gwen-Geoff Friendship page.
