Relationships
Throughout the series Trip is involved with Pearl Warren. Although, many conflicts arise due to their involvement, one of the main reasons being that Moody Richardson has a crush on Pearl, and Trip was aware while being involved with her.

In the beginning of the series it was quite obvious that Pearl was intrigued by Trip, the so called "Golden Boy", although his brother had an obvious crush on her. They eventually decide to sleep together in episode 4. After that incident Trip tries to avoid her, even sitting as far as he can from her in the classroom. Trip is afraid of his growing feelings for her because of how he feels he betrayed his brother. However, he eventually comes around and begins a relationship with her.

At the end of the series Moody finds out that Trip had begun a relationship with Pearl. Upset and hurt Moody proceeds to call Pearl a "sl*t" resulting in a fist fight between Trip and Moody. Once Pearl leaves town Moody and Trip are both visibly upset.
