Mr. Philips introduces Trevor, and the missions that follow are his, around Sandy Shores in Blaine County. Two guides note that Michael and Franklin cannot be played freely for most of this stretch, until Trevor reaches Los Santos.
Mr. Philips
Unlocks: after The Jewel Store Job. It is triggered at Michael’s house in Rockford Hills, by going there as Michael or Franklin; after the opening scenes you play as Trevor.

Ortega’s trailer: a choice
Next on the list is Ortega, the head of the local Aztecas gang. Drive to his trailer by the river and push it into the water with the truck. Ortega survives the fall, and Trevor can kill him or spare him.
