Rewatched episode 4 today and I think we need to figure out more about the incident with Shepard. Are we just sort of assuming the timeline here? Because Brenner calls him son affectionately and clearly cares deeply when he is killed, but it isn't clear whether he is an experiment or biological son.

I also felt like some scenes depicted Brenner attempting to use Eleven to connect to the monster in a vain and desperate attempt to find his son.

Either way, I feel like there were moments from Brenner where the directors were trying to communicate something that didn't really stick.

All of those scenes where he put her in the tank were prior to the formation of the rift, so she wouldn't be looking for someone who hasn't died yet.

The rift formed when she encountered the monster physically for the first time and she screamed.

I don't think that was Brenner's son at all. I'd say I'm fairly positive it isn't.

I think it was just someone he was showing respect towards because he was the first to traverse the rift.
