Friendship History[]

Degrassi[]

Season 13[]

In All I Wanna Do, Tristan and Winston meet for the first time as roommates during their Paris school trip. Initially they don't interact much, because Tristan is primarily focused on being in a relationship with Miles Hollingsworth III, their other roommate. When they first meet, Tristan is caught looking at Miles shirtless to which Miles responds "Take a picture, it'll last longer." Embarrassed, Tristan claims that he was thinking about his girlfriend, to which Winston surprised asks if he really had a girlfriend. While in class, Tristan is trying to convince Miles and Winston that he is in fact dating Maya Matlin. He brings Maya flowers and Miles, knowing its an act, tells Tristan to kiss Maya. Tristan refuses, but Maya goes ahead and kisses Tristan anyways. Winston, seeing how disgusted Tristan is, sarcastically asks "Trouble in paradise?"

In Cannonball, Tristan goes missing after an argument between himself and his best friend Maya. When Maya discovers that Tristan has gone missing, she tags along Winston to help find him, even though Miles offered to go help initially. While looking for Tristan, Winston tells Maya that it is likely that they won't find him in such a large and vast city like Paris, saying that he might be floating in the Seine for all they know (implying that he's dead). This upsets Maya, most likely bringing back memories of her late ex-boyfriend who committed suicide. Winston responds by saying that girl tears are his kryptonite.

In This Is How We Do It, Winston states that there is no one at Degrassi worth knowing, to which Miles, looking at Maya and Tristan, says that there is probably one or two people he could like.

In You Got Me, Tristan is seen walking in the school dance with Winston, Maya, and Miles.

In You Oughta Know, Tristan and Winston are seen talking and laughing with each other at Miles house party. Miles interrupts, bringing an umbrella that Tristan ends up holding. They have a brief chat with Tristan saying that he likes Miles house because its very 'house wives'. Miles states that the reason it looks that way is because his mother is bored. Winston replies by saying that she's also hot. Tristan and Miles phones suddenly ring, with Tristan acknowledging that its the results from the basketball tryouts. Miles becomes visually upset when he realizes that he didn't make starter, but congratulates Tristan for making the team. He storms off saying "Screw this". Tristan, confused, asks Winston if it was something he said. Winston then responds with "Maybe, you never know with that guy". Tristan then heads off to see what could be wrong with Miles, leaving Winston standing in the rain.

In Enjoy the Silence, Tristan realizes that Winston has feelings for Frankie Hollingsworth, Miles's little sister. He tries to get Winston to tell Miles, but Winston falsely blames Damon instead.

Season 14[]

Part of the conflict was in Can't Stop This Thing We Started when Winston told Zoƫ about him feeling jealous that Tristan is taking Miles.
