is it possible that she'll turn out to be the illegitmate daughter of Ron Howard and Tracy Bluth?

Michael has remarked how much Rebel looks like Tracy - much in the same way that Lem, Rebel's son, has remarked to Michael that his mother's other suitor (George Michael) looks like Michael. And we know that AD likes to play around with the idea of incest: George Michael and Maeby; Maeby and Steve Holt; Michael and Lindsay ("Gentlemen, start your engines!"); Lindsay and Michael (when Lindsay found out she wasn't actually a Bluth); GOB and Lindsay (when he found out Lindsay was adopted); GOB and George Michael; Buster and Lucile; Lucile and Oscar (though maybe since he's her brother-in-law it really doesn't count as incest); Tobias and Maeby ("Daddy's here to get his rocks off!"); George Michael and Lindsay; Lucille and Argyle Austero playing the young lovers in The Fantasticks; and - just to bring the idea home - Rebel being the mistress of Ron Howard. Thoughts?

I forget which season 5 episode it is now - maybe the one with the Howard family barbecue - but Rebel is with George Michael and mentions something about cousins. So now I'm convinced more than ever that George Michael and Rebel are related.
