Up until that episode, it was assumed by the audience and the characters that it was Darnell (Crabman), since Joy cheated with him during her marriage to Earl. However, this episode ends on a cliffhanger, but it also turned out to be the last episode of the series, so Earl Jr.'s father was not revealed in the show. Series creator Greg Garcia later revealed during a Q&A session that Joy had cheated on both Earl and Darnell during her marriage with Earl. Had the series continued, then it would have been revealed that Earl Jr.'s father was a famous person, like Dave Chappelle or Li'l John.
