I'm glad I saw this because I was just typing up about the parent revealAlso making Sage Burke and Jade's adopted daughter is another example of DPC making supposedly intelligent characters stupidly opaque so the reveal will be more dramatic. Like Sage says nothing if you potentially punch out Tybalt, who is now supposedly her brother. Or the fact that this never comes up in conversation before. I get why Derek didn't mention Maya was his sister right away, he's a scatterbrained genius, but this is just ridiculous. And the way she talks about her parents "helping her out" like they occasionally send her gas money as opposed to raising her or whatever is cringy.
I get you'd want to use the same models to cut down on assets used to save time and money, but just make Sage Burke and Jade's daughter in a normal not ridiculous "reveal for the drama" fashion.
All of the twists feel like they can be seen a mile away or are just arbitrary for the sake of pulling one over on the player.

Also hint to all writers: Don't try to outsmart your readers/players/watchers. There are more heads working together to unravel your story than you have working on it. It will be solved. The point of the mystery is to let them come up with as many answers and confuse themselves, not to pull a gotcha. People solved the Jon Snow thing years ago but until its answered it's just a theory. It's more satisfying if you can look back on the clues and see where they fit instead of looking back and seeing the clues weren't there so there was no chance. This is something I learned pretty quickly thanks to DMing.
Okay endrant.
