No, Charlie does not discover that Chuck is not his biological son.
The Deception Unveiled
In a surprising turn of events, the truth about Chuck's paternity is revealed, but Charlie is not present to witness it. Charlie is led to believe that Chuck is his son, a claim made by Chrissy. This deception is part of Chrissy's elaborate plan to con Charlie out of money.
Key Details of the Revelation:
- Timing: The crucial revelation occurs after Charlie has already left Chrissy's apartment.
- The Truth: A woman arrives at Chrissy's residence and reveals that Chuck is actually her son.
- Chrissy's Role: It is exposed that Chrissy was merely the boy's babysitter and not his mother, having deliberately passed him off as Charlie's son to extort money.
Since this pivotal moment of truth unfolds in Charlie's absence, he remains completely unaware of Chrissy's elaborate scheme and the fact that Chuck is not his child.
