Susan Lloyd was previously living in New York City dating Michael Dawson. While Susan was attending Law School, She and Michael conceived a child together. While shopping for necessities for their soon to be born child, Michael convinces Susan to name their child “Walt” after Michael’s father, to which Susan replies ”Walter Lloyd”; Michael and Susan did not marry as Susan believed marriage to be too prosaic. When Walt was a few months old, Susan informed Michael that she had been offered a position at a Law Firm in Amsterdam, when Michael protested and offered to attend counseling with Susan, however; unbeknownst to Michael, Susan had already accepted the position and would later leave with Walt.
