Let’s find out “Who are Gavin’s Parents in La Brea?” NBC’s ‘La Brea’ is a time travel show that uses its convoluted timeline to create a complex web of interconnecting storylines for all the characters. While most people in the show have to learn as they go, discovering new things about the sinkholes and the time travel, there is one person who has been connected to all of it even before the events of the show.
Gavin’s life was ruined after he crashed a plane while flying over the Mojave desert. He started having visions, and no one believed him when he said that they were not hallucinations. By the end of the first season, everyone discovers that Gavin hadn’t been lying. His connection to 10,000 BC is also revealed in a shocking twist. But even after all these ups and downs in the story, we don’t know a very crucial thing about Gavin.
Who are his parents? While the show continues to be mysterious about this, we have a few theories lined up.
Who are Gavin’s Parents?
We know that Gavin landed in 1988 as young Isiah, who was later adopted by the Harris family. He was found wandering by the side of the road and no one in the 1988 timeline knows where he really comes from. It is only much later that we discover that Gavin arrived in 1988 from 10,000 BC. As Isiah, he’d been living with his grandfather, Silas, who was very protective of him. Despite knowing that it was important for Isiah to go to 1988, Silas was hellbent on stopping his grandson. He was even ready to sacrifice his great-grandchildren, Josh and Izzy.
Considering all that we know, for now, Silas is the only connection to Gavin’s family. While it is theorized that Silas might not be his biological grandfather, Silas refers to Isiah as his “family” on several occasions. In the second episode of Season 2, when the two reunite, with Isiah now turned into Gavin, Silas’ love for him doesn’t seem to have diminished. While he still keeps his secrets close to his chest, he is ready to do whatever it takes to help Gavin, which means that there really is a strong familial bond between them. This establishes that Silas and Gavin are related, but what does that say about his parents?
In Season 1, Silas said that Gavin’s parents were dead. But in Season 2, he reveals that his parents are alive, but he doesn’t reveal where they are at the moment. Clearly, Silas knows what Gavin’s parents are up to, but his reluctance to reunite Gavin with them might be because of the following reasons. One, Gavin’s parents are stuck in a different timeline. It could be that they are somewhere in the future, and there is no sinkhole that can lead Silas and Gavin to them. So even if Silas tells him where, or rather when, his parents are, it will do nothing more than break Gavin’s heart because there is a huge possibility that he might never get to meet them.
Another scenario is that Gavin’s parents are inside that mysterious building that Rebecca Alderidge and Scott found at the end of Season 1. It is pretty clear that Silas and Rebecca had worked together, and it is fair to say that they were not the only ones on the team. Perhaps, Silas’s daughter was working on the same project. Silas did mention that he was close to Gavin’s mother, which means that Silas is Gavin’s maternal grandfather.
