Who's the Father?

Dawn's three-year-old son, Christopher, looks nothing like her husband, Hanley Pearce. Without telling anyone, her father-in-law, Kennard Pearce, takes the boy for a paternity test. The result is clear: no biological relation between the two. Kennard erupts, hurling insults and threats, while Hanley slaps Dawn and accuses her of making him raise another man's child.

Dawn stays calm and produces a second report—the paternity test between Hanley and Kennard. It confirms the two are not biologically related either. Their expressions freeze in shock as she asks who truly isn't part of this family.

As Nicole Pearce watches in silence and Christopher cries, Dawn insists the boy is Hanley's son and demands another test. Hanley's cold response leaves her wondering if her own husband believes her at all.
