Need help. Where is the family relation here, and why is the game adding it?

This is the family going on in my current save.
The game keeps thinking Walter and Hope are related, but it won't say how. There's no relationship bit in their panel. My intention was for the two to get together, and I did add a romance bar manually hoping they could do romantic interactions, but it didn't work.
After more testing using another mod, it confirmed that the game does indeed think they are related.
So, I drew the family tree above in Canva so I could see a visual. Can any of you see the family relation between Walter and Hope? They share no ancestry, so there isn't supposed to be a family link.
Why is the game adding one, especially a relationship bit I can't even see?
Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night.
Ha'aheo, e hoʻomau i kō kāua aloha, kau a kau.

After some digging and using another mod for extra verifications, I found out that one of my mods is incorrectly adding Ted as Crystal and Joey's brother for who knows what reason. The link happens when I add Summer as Ted's daughter.
While the game won't add the relationship bit in live mode, I can see it in CAS - naturally, because of the erroneous sibling link between Joey and Ted, the game thinks Walt and Hope are cousins. Gross.
Anyway, I fixed it by deleting everyone's relationship and re-adding them, but because Ted is a ghost now and no longer really relevant to my story, I didn't re-add Summer as his daughter. Naturally, Walt and Hope are not linked, as it should be.
To clarify, I looked up "What is my cousin's half-sibling to me?" as if I was asking as Hope, and this was the answer given that clears everything up and why I was so confused as to why the game kept thinking otherwise:
The parent shared by Summer and Walter, Ted, is NOT a sibling of Joey or Justice. So no, they are not related. Wish I knew which mod is adding that link - I suspect MCCC.
Anyway, thanks, guys.

if you looked closer at that relationship tooltip, it says:
"From: A great relationship with ally sibling; blood or not."
The last bit is an important distinction that sort of shoots the idea down of a glitch. are you sure there is a glitch in this?
Nope - I left the premade Ted Roswell as an adult and he doesn't know Joey at all.
And yeah, the super siblings thing is really weird. I also have two teens who are romantically involved and lived together briefly, then aged to YA and they have the super siblings thing. They're married now. I just ignore that relbit.
