The Sinclair family start to think that Baby isn't their birth child when they remember an earth quake back before he was born, and they think two eggs may have been switched by accident during the earthquake. So, they decide to trade babies with the family that had the other egg that may have been their birth child. Well, it doesn't turn out so well, and they realise that you don't have to be blood to be family. They really start to miss Baby and want to take him back. Well, I think they did the right thing by taking him back into their home again, because Baby may not have been their biological son, but he was a part of their lives.
It was very emotional, and I cried when they gave up their baby. It was such a sweet episode.moreless

- Solomon: The idea of someone dividing an object into two, whether it is a baby or a bike has been used in sitcoms over and over again. The first time it was used however, it was by King Solomon, as told in The Book of Kings in the Hebrew Bible. It's basically the same premise as the episode, except when Solomon realizes who the true mother is, she would rather give the baby up than see it harmed, he instantly gives it to her. Edit
- Lynyrd Skynyrd: When the episode starts, Robbie and Baby are watching DTV, and a music video for Lyzzard Skyzzard. This is a take on one of America's greatest rock bands, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Edit
