Wait...so does this mean that Nikki is Hank & Deans mom? And Hank had sex with her?!? If that's true then it's a good thing he wiped his memory.

I don't think so. Hank and Dean were about 20-22 years ago and Dermott's only 17-18. Leaves the question of who open though. Probably no one consequential though.

Indeed. Would not be surprised if The Powers That Be have not decided themselves. Sort of one of those fun things to leave unanswered. Hence why in that episode long, long ago, Doc starts to muse, "that's right, I never really did tell you about your mother," then gets interrupted. It is a "fun" thread to leave hanging.

And I think they do this simply to allow further ideas. They did not map out the plots for--what?--ten years? In the commentary for I think the same episode, then noted how they used a generic character for the shadow of Dermott's Mom--some woman they use in a crowd or something--and then noted how people tried to figure out the identity based on the shadow! They had not really decided themselves.

Anyways, half-way through the show I was thinking "Great separate episode that does not have to advance the overall story arcs" . . . then felt "wrong!"

Rusty sucks at science, so we know he didn't clone anybody. The boys are leftover bits from something Jonas Sr cooked up ages ago, I'm betting. 'Ever notice how many OSI agents look like Hank? Maybe he's another Super Soldier experiment Rusty got attached to, or made to keep Rusty 2.0 (aka Dean) company.

Or maybe I dreamed this up to make the whole "boinking dad's ex who happens to be my half-brother's mother" a little less creepy. :)

Not so sure Rusty had nothing to do with them. Remember, Ben told Dean that he, Jonas Sr, "and yes, your father" perfected cloning technology after they had been *given* a perfect genetic map. When are we going to see "Old Man Potter" again anyway?

I now suspect Hank and Dean have no mother: that they are genetic constructs. A bit of Rusty, a bit of Jonas, perhaps a bit of Col. Gentleman, Action Man, et al.

Whatever happened to RUSTY's mother? And is The Monarch Rusty's brother/cousin/clone as well? Look at their noses. Their red beards. Sorry if this is old speculation, i have been obsessed in solitude since being Venturized only four years ago.
