Archer typically features a cast of destructive and unpredictable loose cannons, with the most chaotic being the titular Sterling Archer.
But the birth of his daughter with Lana changed everything for Sterling — and the entire trajectory of the show as a whole. Let’s look at how Sterling and Lana Kane ended up having a surprise daughter and how she’s already grown.
During the early seasons of Archer, Lana Kane had an on-again-off-again romance with Cyril Figgis, while denying any lingering attraction to her ex, Sterling.
However, after leaving Cyril and hinting at a desire to become a mother, Lana eventually took a frozen sperm sample from Archer and used it to induce a pregnancy — which was revealed in the second half of Season 4’s “Sea Tunt.”
Lana spent most of Season 5 pregnant, largely keeping her out of the field. At the end of the season, Lana gives birth to a girl, Abbijean, and reveals the truth of her parentage to Archer.
A recurring plot element of Season 6 was how the existence of Abbijean — who naturally picked up elements of her father’s personality — affected Archer and Lana’s relationship, with the pair eventually deciding to give an actual romance another shot.
Who is the father of Lana’s baby Archer?
She later revealed that the father was a sperm donor, which has been used as a point of ridicule against her ever since. In “Archer Vice: Arrival/Departure”, Lana gives birth to a girl, and she reveals to Sterling Archer that he is the father by using his frozen sperm.
