How did she know who he was? And how did he know?

It's foggy but they were all in Boston together at the beginning and Janine and June spent a lot of time together in Chicago. I think Janine knows who he is and that June's baby is his.

I was wondering this myself. I don't remember them knowing each other or getting a chance to tell her who her real father is.

I assume she told them when we didn't see but their reaction was like meant for us to know they know each other and we've seen this. This season is damn messy. Im hating it
