The only thing that makes sense in all of that mess is that Tybalt is adopted too, that would give his line after the tennis match "I too come from poverty" a new meaning. The rest doesn't have any sense at all, I don't know if I should take it seriously or if it's a joke I don't get.
That's all you know about tennis?
What's really weird is for the MC to say before his first tennis match against Jill that he's played tennis before, but it was so long ago that he doesn't even remember the rules. How could Neil afford that so the little MC could play tennis? Strange, isn't it.
Let me tell you something. The MC probably wasn't with his father Neil during his early childhood years. The Zoey flashback, is also a Neil MC flashback. The MC says to Isabella so he bonded more with his father Neil through martial arts training. Did he hate his father before or not know him?
The first Jill date reveals a little more about this. Jill loves dogs, the MC loves dogs, and KRJ hates dogs. This is interesting because little Jill often walked a family friend's dog. Now in EP8 the MC got a picture of Miranda, Viv and his mother in front of the Royce's mansion. Ergo, Lynette seems to know the Royce. But Jill was too young then. But it is a Polaroid picture. Such a Polaroid picture also shows Jill on Lana's shoulders while they are walking. Were Lynette and the little MC with them on that walk. Did Lynette take the picture of Jill and Lana? Was the MC acting like a dog and always barking at KRJ, who doesn't like dogs at all. Somehow the MC's voice often creates a feedback loop with KRJ and it kind of sounds like a dog whistle. Geoff, who wants to talk to Dr. Johnson (Karen Rebecca Johnson), helps the MC at EP5's preps party so he doesn't get discovered.
Somehow, that's quite a few coincidences to connect. Is the legal battle that Neil had in his past was not the custody battle for another child of Neil's, but for the custody of the MC.
When the MC is talking to Steve in EP2 at Major Choice 3, Steve told the MC so he will stay with his mother. The MC replied that he would do that right away. What if Lynette broke up with Neil because he cheated or something like that. We know yes so Neil could have had something with another woman 1 year before he met Lynette. We just know so that Lynette came back to Neil after 3.5 or a week. Could Lynette have caught Neil with another woman? Well, Neil had his fun, he says so himself.
Let's say there's no evidence of that yet, so Lynette immediately did a 180 degree turn on the threshold of Neil's door. She then gives birth to the MC 9 months later. She has a new boyfriend (Geoff) or girlfriend (Lana). Maybe Geoff was also Lynette and Lana's beard. There is a car accident. Lynette and/or Lana die or one of them is in a coma. The MC is still very young and Lynette's parents want to take care of the little MC. Grandparents just. The custody battle ensues and Neil wins. MC's grandfather is angry and tells Neil so he will not help him raise the MC. The MC has to go to his father and leave his familiar surroundings whether he wants to or not. This leaves scars on a young child and over time the memories a young child has fade.
And here it comes. The MC will see his mother again and learn so he has an uncle. If? Caleb. About the story.
The MC's grandparents are separating because Lynette's mother is expecting a child by another man. Why this. In EP8, we learn before Neil asks Lynette out so her mother isn't happy to be in that place either. Opportunity makes thieves, they say. The father works a lot and the mother is having fun with another guy. The screenshot could be a symbolic reference to this. The guy on the bench is Lynette's father and Lynette's mother has a big muscular lover in her arms. Lynette's father is on the phone and so is Neil. I can well imagine so that the MC's grandfather has contacted Neil.
Lynette's father has a problem now. He has no more children, we know, so Lynette was an only child. Caleb would be only her half-brother. But the money does not belong to Lynette's mother, but to her father. So Caleb is not entitled to inherit. Lynette is in a coma and her mother is not well and cannot take care of Lynette anymore. Lynette's father is also old and has to make sure that Lynette is taken care of if he should die. Who is Lynette's mother? Agnes. Her son Caleb put her in the foster home because he was accepted to B&R. Caleb never skips a workout or visits his mother. There is only one left. The MC, Lynette's son.
The one preview of EP9 shows Jill and the MC in the hospital. I never played AL, so I only know what I read about it. There is a scene in AL where a Lynette is talking on the phone and got mixed up. So far no problem. I know so the MC of AL had to decide which girl to save. I have a problem with that. It's not about making someone die, that happens. But making the decision to let someone die is probably one of the hardest decisions in life. We know so Caleb pumps his body full of steroids, Darius even asks Caleb if he took a double dose. Caleb is already grabbing at his heart in EP5. If Caleb is the MC's uncle, then Lynette is automatically his half-sister and have a common mother Agnes. Now if Lynette really is in a coma and Caleb needs a new organ, that could lead to a crap decision. An AL decision.
It will be even shittier if it turns out so Caleb's father is Jill's father. I'll make it even worse. If the MC lets Caleb die, he flunks out of college, but he'll be able to help Maya because his grandfather will help him. If he lets Lynette, his mother die, his grandfather will disinherit him. The Royce's will help Maya and he will stay in college.
Damn, why do I always think of things like this? I want EP9 now...
