It's all relative, you know

Lessee:

Bia is the daughter of Pallas and Styx.

Pallas was the son of Crius, one of the first generation of Titans, and Styx was the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, who were likewise.

Epimetheus was the son of Iapetus (ditto)

The first generation of Titans were siblings.

Thus, Pallas, Styx and Epimetheus are first cousins.

Bia is therefore Epimetheus's first cousin once removed.

Bia is Shelly's mother.

Justin (though he doesn't know it) is Epimetheus.

Is Shelly gonna figure out that Justin is her first cousin twice removed?

There's also the question of just who Shelly's paternal grandfather was.

I still want it to turn out to be an itchy-footed, fast-gun motorcycle-ridin' Irishman named Aaron Sullivan.

I remember singing that song in the bathtub as a very young kid on my tape of Disney Silly Songs. :)
