mystery behind Trevor's missing pants has been solved!On Thursday's episode of the real story behind why Trevor (Asher Grodman) has been gallivanting in the afterlife without any pants on was finally revealed — and the answer was unexpected for the former Wall Street bro who has a self-proclaimed reputation for partying and sex. What happened was Trevor, back in his alive days, lent his trousers to a colleague, Pinkus, who had to somehow make it back into the city on foot with nothing but his shirt and socks — an initiation of sorts. «You're just going to go back in there without any pants on?» Pinkus asked Trevor, who later gives him his boxers too. «I don't want your boys rubbing up against my new suit… Be free.» And in classic Trevor fashion, he stormed back into the room telling a white lie to cheers, «Guess who just had sex with a hot limo driver!» When Trevor is told the actual story of what really happened to his pants (because by that point he had downed two pills and was moments away from his heart exploding), Trevor himself was stunned because, like Sam (Rose McIver) and his ghostly friends tell him, he's maybe a good person? Still, with his world (and identity) shattered, Trevor — with the help of his new undead «bros» -- got his own type of revenge on Ari, his former best friend/«bro» who was the one who initially «broke the bro code.» As Trevor learned, Ari and his Wall Street «friends» opted not to help Trevor soon after he died, but rather — after careful consultation with the wealthy lawyer fathers — dumped his body in the lake. «I really liked it,» Grodman told ET of the answer to Trevor's pants-less mystery.
