Timeless: Who Is Lucy's Father?

       

      Time Travel can be confusing but it's still fun to watch the twists and turns. While I wait for 12 Monkeys to return I recently got into NBC's Timeless. A recent mystery arose as to who Lucy Preston's father is.

Lucy, Wyatt, and Rufus should come up with aliases
BEFORE they travel through time

  A Politician?

        Lucy's mother finally tells her that her father was her mother's professor who had desires into entering politics. He had asked to marry Lucy's mother but she refused leaving her to be a single mother. So Lucy's biological father may be some big politician that has been keeping watch over her all of her life.
  

"Garcia" Flynn? That's basically 2 last names

Rittenhouse Member?

       Flynn had asked Lucy to ask why Mason really chose her for this mission. I have a theory that Lucy's father is a member of Rittenhouse. It would explain why she was picked where there were possibly hundreds more qualified historians to ask. Most likely Rittenhouse has spies in government that could have suggested Lucy's name. Or Homeland secretly knows that there's a Rittenhouse and they're keeping quiet about it in order to capture those mysterious members. Either this is his way of trying to get close to his daughter or there's a much bigger piece of the puzzle that we're missing.


      Either way Flynn knows the truth. Eventually Lucy will find herself trusting Flynn to be honest when she discovers that she has been lied to from the start of this mission.
