With the revelation about Sage, the scene from Tybalt and MC in the showers seems to imply that he was also adopted, what with he referencing that he himself came from the bottom. Chances are pretty good that this is a reference to that.
I do love that myself and as it's true DPC knows how to trigger us one way or the other.
That's why i love browsing here and read all kind of theories/thoughts about it but yours are a class apart... love them
Since I haven't published any theories in a long time, you get one.
This is another one of my variations. If both Sage and Tybalt are adopted, I wonder why Stephen and Jade don't have biological children. That can really only be if either Jade can't have children and/or Stephen's swimmers are too slow.
And so my crazy theory is born. Jade, Jamie's ex, and the MC once had a conversation in Genders Studies about a male or female perceiving/feeling like the opposite sex. We have an athlete who takes birth control pills and a Caleb who takes steroids or anabolic steroids. We also have a female dealer who not only deals drugs, but also stimulants. She also has a connection to Stephen. I don't know if you realize what I'm getting at yet. But all these details raise the possibility that Lynette may have died but is still alive. Why Neil could have such gaps in his knowledge of Lynette. Heck, why the MC got into college before Josy, even though he and his father couldn't afford it financially. Why nothing happened to the MC after the sprinkler attack in EP5, even though Stephen clearly saw and recognized the MC. So did Jade. Might either of them, Stephen or Jade, have a biological child anyway? I actually rule out Jade because she can have sex with the MC. Now here come all the Sage fans screaming incest. Quinn mentions to Tommy in EP4 that there is no blood relationship between Josy and him. That would also apply to this version of Sage and the MC.
Getting back to Stephen: What if Lynette and Neil also have a three-way relationship with Jade? Lynette gets pregnant, but Neil and Lynette break up with the MC after the birth. Lynette goes back to Jade. Now the two may have the same problem as Josy and Maya. But good Lynette might take it a step too far and become Stephen. This allows Lynette (Stephen) and Jade to come out in public. But Neil wins custody of the MC in court and moves on. Lynette (Stephen) and Jade lose sight of the MC. Neil tells his son that his mother died giving birth to him to spare him and himself any embarrassment. At the age of 15, an incident occurs at school and he can't hold back anymore and contacts Lynette (Stephen) and Jade. They logically help him. But Neil has lied to the MC about his mother and that Lynette has become Stephen, they continue to hide.
Of course, the MC then gets the opportunity to visit B&R. But since Stephen (Lynette) can't reveal himself to her son, everything is controlled in the background by Stephen (Lynette) and Jade. Several tests are administered. School tests and social tests. The school tests need no further explanation. But the social tests are interesting. Is he an aggressive thug, athlete, womanizer, gay, straight or BI. What if Stephen (Lynette) makes the same mistake her own father made 20 years ago, trying to control the MC's life? What if Stephen (Lynette) is looking for the right woman for her son and Mona might not be the one? That would also put Tybalt's blackmail in a new light. If he was just adopted, his inheritance would be very small and he would have to go back to the pit he once came from. But being married to a hot Jill Royce would solve that problem. Wow, what a shock for Tybaltt to find out that the MC is the only biological child in the family.
A horny, crazy theory. But something not so crazy.
What if Stephen really is the MC's father and Zoey is Neil's daughter. And why? The way Neil hugs Zoey, I don't think any father would hug his own son's ex-girlfriend. And in EP7, the MC tells Derek that he has the same body language as his sister Maya. Compare the screenshots.
