Baby Drake.

Maybe I missed something, but I always thought Baby Drake was not Ryan’s biological child. It was his ex-girlfriends child, and she took off on both of them.

Ryan has no real obligation to a child that isn’t his, and could have called CPS (maybe call the grand parents). Yes, Baby Drake is likely attached to Ryan emotionally, but he has no legal rights; which could have led him to losing Baby Drake regardless (if Ryan wanted custody).

This makes Ryan’s actions in the finale less “cruel”, but still bad.

If Baby Drake is Ryan’s biological child, it completely cast a dark non-redeeming quality upon Ryan, and Kelly to an extent. Which seems to be the opposite of finale’s direction.

So is Baby Drake actually Ryan’s child?
