Back at the Shen's house...
"So Robin's parents are alive," Karen said as she read the pages of the document.
"Yep", Dylan answered.
"But if they are, how come in nineteen years they never tried to contact him?"
"No idea. It's weird enough that they didn't take him with them to begin with."
"That was awful, I don't understand how they could leave their son behind and then resign themselves to live without him all these... Oh, my God..."
"Douglas Crane is 40% alien??" Karen exclaimed.
"Now we know where those genes came from," Dylan replied, with a sip of coffee.
"Then there's no doubt anymore, this is not a mutation, but a whole alien lineage!"
"Uh - honey, I think you're overreacting a bit here".
"No, this is serious, Dyl."
"I must call Jul to cancel everything and come home right away," Karen concluded, closing the laptop and standing up.
"Why on earth would you do that?" Dylan inquired, getting up in turn.
"And you're asking?"
"Robin and his father are aliens, it means Row could be one too, we must take his DNA sample immediately."

"Waiting isn't wise either, what if Jul finds out sooner from somewhere else?"
"She won't, no one else knows about this but us,' Dylan replied, as he headed for the kitchen.
"What if Robin already knows and tells her himself? Jul will be horrified and will blame us for not putting her on notice," Karen concluded. Dylan stopped and turned around.
"Jul is a scientist, Karen. She may be shocked, even worried by the news, but believe me, she won't be 'horrified,' much less stop loving Robin because of it."
"I don't know, Dyl, I'm afraid."
"I am not, cause there's nothing to be afraid of. Like I said, I trust Rob, I'm pretty sure Jul and Row are safe with him, and as of today, he's our family, so we must support him. After Dustin's wedding we can tell them all this, but for now, let them enjoy their special day, okay?"
