** After Bob reveals himself to be Alice's father, Charles suddenly reveals himself to be Alice's long lost half-brother, then Danny chimes in, revealing himself to be Alice's (and Charles's) cousin who they've has never met, Emily [[LukeYouAreMyFather reveals herself to be]] [[KidFromTheFuture Alice's daughter from the future]] and so on until pretty much all the major characters on the show are revealed to be related to Alice somehow. A TangledFamilyTree ensues.

* '''Invoked''': Alice's family is used as an experiment to determine the differences in a family with and without a father, so someone forces Bob to leave the country and Fran to never mention it. Cue 18th birthday, where Bob returns and reveals himself
