After Avery learns that she is pregnant, just like us, she is wondering who the father might be. As we've seen in her throuple sex with Max and Tristan weeks ago, there are only two possible choices on who it could be.

When Avery brought the news to the two guys, they responded differently to the shocking revelation.

Max was more frantic in his response and tried to do some scientific reasoning on whether Avery was indeed pregnant or not. Tristan was more calm and seemingly supportive but he also became distant.

In the end, it is pretty clear that none of the guys are ready for fatherhood and Avery is contemplating raising the baby on her own instead without potentially finding out who the father is.

Unfortunately, viewers have to wait until March 2025 to find out what's next for the trio in the aftermath of Avery's shocking pregnancy twist and whether it will be a permanent situation.

Phillipa Soo Weighs In on Avery's Shocking Pregnancy Twist

In an interview, Phillipa Soo weighed in on the shocking pregnancy twist of her character Avery.

She shared that she was supportive of the idea and how it could create conversations among the viewers who might resonate with the storyline.

"I was really proud to explore this conversation that I think many women have with themselves about the choice that they want to make, about their bodies and the futures that they want to have," the actress said.

"And it was so great having the two guest stars that week, which were Adrienne Warren and Paloma Garcia-Lee, my two fellow Broadway ladies."

Soo added, "I think that it’s very clear that she has this choice that she wants to make, and she’s just not sure what to do. And I think that sense of unknowing and feeling kind of frozen in a moment like that is something that a lot of women really do relate with."
