Trevor, as the title so expertly describes, is the name of the boy who Wilson 'Pinker' Rawls is trying to find. That's the show's "big mystery". Pinker Rawls, a bank robber serving time, miraculously escapes from prison during a destructive tornado that levels the shack where he was confined during the storm. It appears, as Mulder and Scully suggest, that this tornado gave Pinker the ability to pass through solid objects, except for glass. We are led to believe that he's looking to recover the money he stole that was never found, and will kill anyone who gets in his way. The big reveal is that he is actually looking for his son by his former girlfriend. The story itself is not compelling, a storyline I think I've already seen a half a dozen times on the Lifetime channel. Also, Pinker's abilities are confusing and inconsistent. First, how does he discover that he can pass through walls, but only with his clothes off? In the middle of the tornado? I think I'll strip my clothes off and jump through this wall. And then, because he can walk through walls, he naturally assumes that bullets won't hurt him? That's mighty presumptive. The bland, uninteresting story, along with outlandish, inconsistent abilities of Pinker, makes Trevor one of the more forgettable x-files.
