In Paradise , Dylan is Sinatra’s son, and Season 2 strongly suggests that the rebel leader Link is actually Dylan in another form (likely via time‑travel or multiverse meddling connected to Sinatra’s secret project, Alex).

Quick Scoop: Who Is Dylan To Sinatra?

  • Dylan Redmond is introduced in the show’s backstory as Sinatra’s young son who died from an illness before the main apocalypse timeline.
  • His death is a core part of why Sinatra becomes so driven and morally ruthless, pushing her into extreme solutions to “save” the future.

The Big Season 2 Twist

  • In Season 2, Episode 7, it’s revealed that Link’s real name is Dylan, which immediately alarms Sinatra because that is the exact name of her deceased son.
  • Clues line up: Link/Dylan shares Dylan’s birthday, is the same age Dylan would be if alive, and even triggers a profound emotional shift in Sinatra when she realizes who he might be.

So… Who Is Dylan To Sinatra In Paradise?

Putting it together:

  • Dylan is:
    • Her biological son in the original pre‑apocalypse timeline.
* The emotional engine behind her entire arc: his loss fuels her obsession with Alex and “fixing” time.
  • Link is very likely:
    • An alternate‑timeline or time‑displaced version of Dylan, or a Dylan saved/rewritten through Alex, rather than just a coincidence with the same name.

So when fans ask “who is Dylan to Sinatra in Paradise?”, the answer in‑universe is:

He is her dead son whose existence has apparently been rewritten or echoed into the present as Link, turning a tragic backstory into a live, high‑stakes sci‑fi twist.

TL;DR: Dylan is Sinatra’s deceased son, and Season 2 heavily implies that Link is actually that same Dylan—likely via time‑travel or multiverse consequences of Sinatra’s Alex project.
