I'm trying to work this out....so is Sharon Ben's step sister as well as his step mother? (with various halves thrown in!)

She is indeed. No halves in step siblings, it's just when one of your parents marries one of theirs. Awkward for the Mitchell side of this equation, but Ian will probably be delighted to have Sharon as a step sister. He's seen her as a sort of sister for a while, but obviously didn't want her to be his half-sister as it would have meant Pete was doing the dirty on Kathy.

Meanwhile Sharon's adoptive half-sister is now her step cousin once removed. As if Sharon's relationships with her siblings weren't complicated enough already.
