I question strongly this: Thanksgiving scene: "This is MY house and this is MY child." Jack reasserts his paternity. L.D. backs down quickly -- because they've all agreed to uphold, tacitly or openly, the story that Jack IS the father.
...
Because Laureen did not likely tell Jack the player or lover, or later on metion to her husband, still Jack, that this child was not his (from his boys driving for fun, may I say)!! ??
Hugs!!
