Blair's House
Blair and Todd are cooing over baby Jack and Starr is very irritated (she had been having jealousy attacks because they do not seem to have time for her anymore). Blair explains to Starr that the baby is not like a toy she gets tired of – that he will be with them always. Starr replies: "maybe, maybe not". Todd's cell phone rings and it is the Mexican policeman telling Todd that Paloma escaped from Mexico. In the meantime, Paloma is on the plane about to land in Llanview. She goes to Break Bar for directions to Blair's; Antonio interprets for her and gives her the directions for the taxi. Paloma leaves to go to see Blair and tell her that her baby is alive (not knowing they have the baby).
Blair is trying to get the baby to sleep and Starr says he must be stupid if she has to teach him how to sleep. Todd continues the conversation with the Mexican policeman and tells him to keep Paloma away from them. The doorbell rings and it is Nellie whom Todd had paid to bring the baby to them. Blair comes into the foyer as Todd is trying to get rid of her by giving her money. Blair is horrified and asks the girl how she can do this. Starr looks on in amusement (she is the one who called for the girl to come get baby Jack). Blair starts yelling about Nellie trying to take the baby back and Todd finally gets her attention and tells her Nellie does not want the baby back; she is there because someone made a crank call saying for her to pick up the baby. Todd questions Nellie and she hears Starr's voice; she tells Todd that is the voice of the person that called her. Todd is furious with Starr. Blair and Todd question Starr about the phone call; Starr admits she made the call to Nellie. They ask her why; that she had wanted a baby brother; it was her idea. Starr said not any more because all anyone talked about was the baby. Todd and Blair began reassuring Starr that they still love her. They make plans to go out for the evening, leaving the baby with a sitter; Starr is thrilled; the baby begins to cry. Todd and Blair rush over to see what is wrong. Starr is mad again; goes out of the room, shuts the door. The doorbell rings (Starr says this had better not be about the stupid baby). She answers the door and it is Paloma.
As Blair and Todd finally get Jack asleep, they talk about Starr possibly scheming against the baby since she seems so jealous. While they are chatting, Starr is busy answering the knock at the door. It's Paloma and because she's speaking in Spanish Starr is unable to understand anything so she slams the door. Todd gets up to check on her and she tells him it was a saleswoman, one she couldn't understand. He explains to her that she should talk to her parents if something is bothering her and try to negotiate for something that she might want as they don't want her to be upset. He goes back to Blair. Once again Paloma knocks at the door and mentions Blair and the baby but Starr tells her there's no baby there and slams the door in her face again. Paloma sets her sights on a Kelly Cramer; she may know Blair. In the meantime, Blair receives a call from Kelly-she's in Llanview on newspaper business. Starr can't believe that now her mother is on the phone after being with the baby all the time. Blair quickly hangs up. Starr tells her parents she wants Jack gone or she'll go. Todd states that no one is going anywhere. He and Blair declare their love for their daughter while Todd compares the baby to Starr's pet lizards, how he'll be the same as them soon, following her around. She wants alone time with her parents without Jack, she pleads. Blair will go out and visit Kelly, Starr and her dad can play together. When they're alone, Todd again inquires about the person at the door. Starr describes her as a "weird lady speaking funny." Todd assumes she was speaking Spanish. Starr mentions that the woman said baby.
