Question: How could Eleanor be related to Hugh Crain if all of Hugh's children died at birth?
Revealing mistake: Right after Nell sends Hugh to hell, Dr. Marrow and Theo come out of hiding behind a pillar. As Marrow puts his hand on the pillar, it squishes in as if it was made of foam rubber, instead of stone. (01:39:50)
Dr. David Marrow: Okay, so what do we all need in life? What are the basics? Food, water, shelter.
Theo: ...Sex.
Trivia: When Eleanor is in her bedroom, look in the mirror: both times you see children heads or portraits.

Answer: Crain had two wives. All of his children from his first wife, Renee, died at birth and then Renee killed herself. Later we find out that Crain had a second wife, Carolyn, and they did have a child who survived. Carolyn is Eleanor's grandmother.
