The Doctor took Trent in as his own. Trent loved his dad but often got into arguments with him regarding Trent's ability to draw . Mercer thought that was beneath his son who was supposed to take over his business Mercer felt it was beneath Trent to be a waiter at the cyber cafe so he tried to buy the place for Trent to run. Trent helped the Rangers foil his dad's bid to buy the place, so Hayley could keep her restaurant. Trent began to see some really weird things around his father's office. He found an invisi-portal  which really freaked him out. Mercer was very vague about everything when Trent approached him. Trent found a portal to Mesagog's lair and found the white Dino gem. The gem slowly began to take him over, turning him into the evil White Ranger. The White Ranger became a powerful adversary to the Rangers. Mesagog tried to convince him to join with him. But the evil Ranger preferred to work on his own. The white ranger temporarily trapped Dr. Oliver in amber ( the Rangers were able to free him). Trent revealed his predicament to Kira who tried to help him. Trent tried to run far away from the rangers so he wouldn't hurt anyone when the Dino gem fully took him over.
