This would be a twist if it came about, Trevor was a plant by Carla to distract Michael from his pursuit of her. She wants to keep him thinking he's making progress but is actually keeping him in check.

Loved the flirting scene as well...that had some great sexual tension in it.
This was my favorite line of the night (now the new quote up top):
"Sorry Mike, I got my big 'one month since we said I love you' celebration. Sammy's getting some hammy tonight."

While it was a good, solid episode, Michael's got be a little more cautious about getting involved with these clients and their 'hard luck' stories. Last season Lucy Lawless played a character (Evelyn) who conned him by pretending to be a mom whose abusive husband took her child into hiding. She ended up being a professional assassin and almost killed him. While that ep had a nice twist and a crazy ending, this one was a little more run of the mill.
I think show runner Matt Nix has to be careful not to keep throwing these types of clients at Michael or it’ll become too repetitive. At some point he ought to turn down someone just to show that he will not fall for the usual “I’m in a real bad situation and my family is at risk” line every single time.
It’ll be interesting to see how Michael Shanks does in his 4-episode arc. With the exception of one or two SG-1 eps, I don’t think I’ve seen Shanks play an ‘intense’ character before.
