Ok, let’s look closely at Celia’s statement because Magnus Archives made it clear the exact use of language is important.
Spoilers..
Celia didn’t say she was a mother. She said she had a baby and she doesn’t know who the dad is
In Marked, when she woke up the side of the motorway, she tried to call someone to get help…
Which suggests to me - someone else is at home. Or at least there’s someone she could call for help. Because someone looks after that baby while Celia is at work
What if the baby is not hers? She’s raising Jack, possibly with someone else? And that’s why she doesn’t know who the father is - because she’s not the one that got pregnant.
When she says she had a wild couple of years, that could mean all sorts of things. It could mean a lot of drinking and drugs. It could also mean struggling through the end of the world. It could also mean coming through the new world and trying to find her place - fighting monsters here.
Because her date with Sam seemed to have an awful lot of digging about Sam’s background and the Institute and the cases.
Anyway. That’s my theory. She cares for Jack, but Jack is not her baby.
And my favourite theory right now is - it’s Agnes’ baby. And the baby is in hiding, safe with Celia, where whoever is using Agnes can’t find it…(and if it is Jack Barnabas’s baby that would explain why Agnes called it Jack)
You know who signs the Official Secrets Act? The military. The secret services. Members of the government. Certain high ranking civil service members being read into state secrets.
You have to be working with knowledge and secrets about the defence and safety of the nation.
So the OIAR is not just an official government agency but it’s one that deals with the defence of the nation…
literally my favourite thing about lena kelley that keeps being proven again and again as the series continues: she does not give a fuck and is just doing her job. no morals. no plans. no personality. go girl, give us less than nothing. cannot find it within me to believe she's the big bad when she's literally an empty shell of a person repeating someone else's lines back at the person she used to be. she is nothing. she's everything to me.
I think having a baby niece is great cause my brother will send me just a constant stream of messages that sound indistinguishable from how someone at Jurassic park would text if they were being hunted by the raptor
