Talk:My Fair Gilligan/@comment-26954170-20191218174609

''The premise of this episode is entirely contradictory to the movie, The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island, which features the Howell's son, Thurston Howell IV. ''

Maybe Thurston Howell IV was similiarily "adopted" at some point after the Castways reestablished contact with civilization. He might have been a close family friend or a favourite nephew.
