If Franklin kills Michael in GTA V’s final mission, the ending is “The Time’s Come” (Ending B). In the aftermath, Trevor holds Franklin responsible for Michael’s death, and the friendship between them breaks down. A gameplay video built around meeting Trevor after this ending shows the encounter, but the available sources do not document every trigger, line of dialogue, or variation, so the details below separate what is confirmed from what is not.
Which ending this is
Killing Michael is the branch named “The Time’s Come” in GTABase’s mission guide, which labels it Ending B. The Vandal endings guide places it among the three possible outcomes of the story’s final choice. That guide also covers the other two branches, but only this one bears on the question of what happens when Franklin later meets Trevor.
What the aftermath looks like
The clearest depiction comes from a gameplay video whose title and description both address meeting Trevor after Franklin kills Michael in the final mission. The description says the video shows that encounter. It is a useful demonstration of the premise, but a single recording does not map every way the scene can play out.
A fan-maintained character reference adds more detail. It describes a call in which Trevor, after Michael has died, rebukes Franklin for killing their friend, and says the two then stop contact. That reference is community-written rather than an official Rockstar statement, so treat its account as a description of what fans document, not as confirmed game text.

What is confirmed and what is not
- Confirmed by the sources: the Michael-killing branch is Ending B, “The Time’s Come.”
- Confirmed by the sources: a gameplay video demonstrates Trevor meeting Franklin after this ending.
- Reported by a fan reference: Trevor blames Franklin for Michael’s death and the two cease contact afterward.
- Not established: which exact conditions trigger each encounter, the full set of dialogue variations, and whether the experience differs across platforms or editions.
- Not established: an official Rockstar transcript or statement covering this exchange. None was located in the sources available for this article.
Whether this version of events is canon
The Vandal guide cautions against calling any one ending canon on the strength of later GTA Online references. Those references do not amount to an explicit Rockstar announcement that one ending is official. The safest reading is that Ending B is a defined story outcome in the game, and that the Trevor aftermath described here is what the game’s content and fan documentation show for that outcome, without any formal ruling on which branch is the “true” one.
Practical notes for replaying the ending
Grand Theft Auto V is the only game that contains these endings, so experiencing the encounter requires playing its final mission and making the Michael-killing choice. Because the sources do not describe every trigger, a player who wants to see the Trevor scene should expect to replay the final mission and check the outcome directly rather than rely on a single fixed sequence.

When you record or describe the scene yourself, note the exact choice you made, the platform, and whether the game version is current. Those details are what make a report of the encounter reproducible for other players.

Killing Michael leads to Ending B, and the one documented aftermath with Trevor is one of anger and a break in contact. The rest, including exact dialogue and every condition that triggers the scene, remains outside what the available evidence establishes.
