Just a Ruse?
There were naysayers out there who thought that Samuel only wanted to reconnect with his father because he wanted to squeeze him for child support. One of those people was Tony’s own sister, Arlene. Even though she helped Tony locate Samuel, she wasn’t completely on board about his decision to connect with his alleged son.
When the test results came back negative and Tony and Samuel were still hanging out, her concerns only grew. After all, it’s not unreasonable to think that forgotten children want revenge on their fathers after missing for so many years. Arlene voiced her opinions to the media, who then relayed the information to Samuel.
