Flapper72 asked this question about The Pact:
Maybe I'm being a bit gormless (don't feel you have to answer that part of the question) but who was the father of Emily's child? I thought that that was going to be the spoiler. You got the impression that it wasn't Chris, that she had been abused ('evidence' from the art therapist) which had caused her feelings of hopelessness and no way out. Any ideas? Did I just miss it?
Colin Colaco Chris was definitely the father of Em's unborn child. The problem she had having sex with Chris was, the recurring feeling that Chris was like a broth…moreChris was definitely the father of Em's unborn child. The problem she had having sex with Chris was, the recurring feeling that Chris was like a brother to her. Hence the undercurrent of incest in their sexual relationship. (less)
