Now, honestly, if this would happen, I don't know what would be worse: all those inconsistencies and plot holes or soap-opera-subpar story writing.Or a simpler explanation - the situation is somewhat similar to Josy's.
Burke is the father of Tybalt. After Tybalt was born, Burke met Jade while working at the college, cheated with her, got divorced from Tybalt's rich mom, and re-married Jade. Tybalt blames Jade for the parents' divorce and never like Jade. Jade being a somewhat dominant and possessive type (as shown in the argument scene and classroom sex scene), doesn't like the fact that Burke already has a son neither. Tybalt's biological mom remarries as well and is the rich one donating to the college every year.
This alternative explanation answers...
Now, to stretch this relatively simple and realistic theory further into the "Are you kidding me? That's too much coincidence!" territory, what if Jade is Josy's biological mom? That after her own divorce, she met Burke and remarried him?
- How Tybalt's parents are donating to the college every year.
- Why Jade would throw Tybalt's picture first in the argument with Burke.
Yeah - and I don't know why that should be a secret. DPC could have nice little story where Maya would say how his parents are professors and players would have fun guessing his parents.I honestly don't see any resemblance between Jade and Tybalt other than the hair color.
The biggest hole in Tybalt being a known son (adopted/step or natural) of Jade & Stephen, as vir_cotto stated, is that the first thing anyone/everyone at the UNI will mention when talking about his parents is that he is the son of the dean/faculty etc. (not that he's rich). It is by far the most interesting point of reference (if you've been to a school where one of the kids is the child of a teacher or the headmaster.) It's also highly unlikely that Bella would not mention this once in the many times she talked about Tybalt to MC and/or Jill.

Yeah. And she never mentioned he's Burke's and Jade's son nor she avoids their company.Bella hates Tybalt, a lot
I don't see any relationship, if you realize, for now, no character talks about family Tybalt'sYeah. And she never mentioned he's Burke's and Jade's son nor she avoids their company.![]()
We can make the exact same point about him being a naphew of a teacher,yet no relation whatsoever is mentioned but we do know they are related and he has the same last name so it`s impossible no one noticed.I honestly don't see any resemblance between Jade and Tybalt other than the hair color.

I think the scene with Jade and Burke when they are talking about Bella changing her mind and likely rejected having a threesome with them perhaps Bellas husband got word about that and walked out on her and she has been in denial ever since that he would come back to her.![]()
It could also explain the cafeteria scene when Jade and Cathy join Bella and the MC you can tell even then Bella starts to look uncomfortable and eventually leaves so there could be some sort of resentment there.True, I forgot that scene.. One of the reasons she should hate that family.
She leaves once Burke turns up after chatting to Jade and Cathy, I thought the uncomfortableness came from Him, not the two ladies, she was surprised at his academic choices etc.It could also explain the cafeteria scene when Jade and Cathy join Bella and the MC you can tell even then Bella starts to look uncomfortable and eventually leaves so there could be some sort of resentment there.
Once you get to nephew (or even more distant), I'd say it becomes less noteworthy as a gossip item, but we're splitting hairs here. As I am not one of the proponents of the nephew theory though, I'll let those that do answer.We can make the exact same point about him being a naphew of a teacher,yet no relation whatsoever is mentioned but we do know they are related and he has the same last name so it`s impossible no one noticed.
Ah, thank you! I was afraid I was the only one who thought that. They must be the 2 people with whom the MC has spent the most time in recent weeks/months, and we only have the information now? I can understand they are a little ashamed and they prefer to hide their relationship, but damn it's the 21st century! Everyone seems to know except you. I loved this update, but no I have difficulty in accepting this end of episode.Frankly the Maya + Josy back story is full of holes. Nevermind the long distance relationship, how did they even meet, or associate closely enough to start one, which is implied to have been at least a conventional one(i.e. not long distance) for a time.
Josy has lived within biking distance of the MC for years. Long enough that she's gotten to hate Tommy, who would have been mostly away at B&R for at least 3 years by story start. That they didn't know each other at least peripherally until going to the same summer job breaks my SOD. Their home town is small enough that the nearest 'small college' and one with a slim selection of courses at that is a train ride away. They should have gone to the same high school. And the town seems remote enough that everybody would know of everybody else his/her age even if they don't ever interact. Including social pariahs. If only for the fact that even a relatively small population would have a pariah.
Which brings us to the actual relationship itself next. How did they even meet? Maya is implied to have gotten flak from her dad because of her relationship with a girl, presumably Josy. Except that just runs into Josy having lived in the same town as the MC for the past several years and Maya herself having mostly lived with her family several hours away.
