It was my fault for starting this one thinking it was a thriller. But until the day that the earth swallows me up, I will stand by
that Jack is totally Robyn's brother. It's way too suspicious. The lady down the street took the baby and gave him a different name?? The baby just looked like a blob of clothes?? The mom acted all weird about the sperm donor thing?? I'm absolutely convinced.
But I thought it was a touching look at finding family later in life and that we're all really just looking for support.
