Yes, the baby is the offspring of Nathan Stark. Ed Quinn left the show, but it's not entirely unreasonable to think Stark might return when Allison breaks water. Assuming, of course, True Blood wrote into Quinn's contract an option to act in other shows while filming the one which the actor is currently working on.
Allison and Lexi aren't the only ones with new responsibilities. Dr. Henry Deacon (Joe Morton), newly elected mayor, also now has a job which requires him to deal with the public on a regular basis. Perhaps the writers should consider adding town council members into the script at some point. It would help with a plausible storyline for Henry.
About the only cast member who did not show up this week was Zane Donovan (Niall Matters). With such a sizable cast, a person not around is hardly surprising. Besides, I get the impression Matters' contract puts him equal to a recurring guest star. You know the ones, those not there each week, but often enough to be recognized immediately by regular viewers.
Now that Thorn appears to be gone, it's possible Dr. Jim Taggart will be back at the lab again at some point. Matt Frewer is adept at playing wacky, which he proved with his portrayal of Max Headroom a few years back. Exactly when has not been determined yet. Beverly Barlowe, played by Deborah Farentino, may or may not return. Anything is possible with this show.
I do have a small nit to pick. Watch those promos! They serve a purpose in showing what is coming up so viewers will be sure and turn in. For me, they work to let me know what to focus on next time. But.. too much revealed, and there is little reason for anybody to tune in. Low ratings are a problem, folks.
Tune in Fridays at 9pm for more Eureka! Yes, the day is new. DVRs might be in heavier use because of this. Remember, you can always click on the Syfy website to watch online should you miss an episode.
