Dewey. I can't really see how it would be logistically plausible for Olaf to be the father.

Moved.

All of Olaf's speech about not having children would be watered down if he had a biological child. There is no chronological sense for anyone to think that Olaf is Beatrice's junior father. Kit and Olaf's relationship evidently existed when he was a noble person.

The Olaf parenthood theory has always been one with absolutely nothing going for it other than technical possibility. There is no concrete evidence either for and against; but there is an absolute busload of circumstantial evidence against, some of it documented in this thread, to which I will add that Olaf shows absolutely zero interest in Kit's pregnancy. It is unbelievable, were he the baby's father, that neither he nor Kit would ever even allude to or hint at this.

I suspect the Olaf theory comes from people who never spotted Dewey/Kit. We know there are some - one reviewer referred to Dewey/Kit in the show as a romance that was previously unknown or only hinted, if I remember rightly.

I think that people did not understand the concept explored by DH of this TPP (and even more in TE): the world does not revolve around the three Baudelaires. People don't have to give Baudelaires an explanation of their relationships, and the narrative is done from their point of view. I think one of the very good things about this final part of ASOUE is exactly that feeling: there is an expanded universe despite not being visualized.
