The Biggest Unanswered Questions From Sex Education Season 3

One of the story arcs carried over from Season 2 is Jean Millburn's pregnancy and her relationship with Jakob — something the duo find particularly hard. It's only made more difficult because Ola and Otis butt heads over living together. But the thing that causes Jakob plenty of stress is the possibility that Jean's baby might not even be his, as she had a lot of casual sex before they got together. It escalates to the point where he even asks for a paternity test for Jean's baby, whom they decide to call Joy. The results arrive in Jean's final scene of the series, and she has a shocking response, saying "Oh s**t!"
Her reaction alone suggests that Jakob isn't the father, which is going to cause plenty of tension going forward now that they live together. Who is the father? Dan (Daniel Ings) is a suspect, because he's another of Jean's casual sexual partners. He hasn't shown up since Season 1, but Dan's the reason Jakob asks Jean for a paternity test, because she bumps into him outside the hospital and he's shocked to see that she's pregnant. But because it's been well over 9 months since the two hooked up (on screen at least), this wouldn't make sense.
Another suspect could be Remi Millburn (James Purefoy), Jean's ex-husband and Otis' dad. Yes, the pair only kissed on screen back in Season 2, but who's to say that more didn't happen at a later point off screen? We'll just have to wait for Season 4 to find out.
