Oh well I'm sure

SPOILERS

Nothing directly tied here to Trent's appearance except the presence of his absence. Which feels, to me, much the same thing and significant, though maybe I'll wait to elaborate once we've seen more of the season. We do visit the old shared office, but there is no sign of Nate or Trent as Beard has moved in and presumably the others have moved on. Everything looks a bit empty, frankly. I do need to get another look at Beard's desk to see if The Book may or may not be there.

In the Press Room, Marcus Adebeyo is still working, presumably, for The Independent, though he does not make the reference we're all expecting. And some fella dressed in a bucket hat eating a sandwich who Roy grumbly refers to as 'Paddington' is sitting in Trent's old seat. Naturally, Ted chooses Marcus first, but moves quickly to Paddington. Which could mean nothing.

So while Ted "Folks have underestimated me my whole life so now I can read people like books" Lasso absolutely knows what he's doing when he rolls his sleeves up and leans on the desk while Trent is talking, just seeing how steady those journalistic instincts are, Trent "Engagement bait is a key aspect of my career and life" Crimm matches him to perfection, tying his hair in a messy bun and unbuttoning the top of his shirt on hot days, or else taking his glasses off just so he can tap one corner thoughtfully against his bottom lip.

It’s “darling” and “babe” now, boys, btw
