Lorelai y Rory (las protagonistas) regresan de un viaje por Europa. Su vecina, Babette, hace referencia a su ausencia y falta de noticias con la frase "Creí que te había secuestrado algún loco Sandinista o algo así" ("I thought you'd been kidnapped by some crazy Sandinistas or something"), a lo que Lorelei comenta sarcasticamente "Porque el movimiento Sandinista es tan popular en Francia" ("Cause the Sandinista movement is so popular in France").

A seriously depressed Toot is trying to fill the void in her life with something other than food, and upon seeing a happy young mother, thinks she has found the answer: a baby. Foxxy, Clara, and Xandir suggest to Toot that before she gets pregnant, she should try an experiment to see if she is ready for motherhood. After Clara tells Toot about a school project where the kids have to carry eggs around for a week, they give Toot something with which she can try the same experiment- a baby from Nicaragua. Toot's mothering skills, unfortunately, leave something to be desired, as she spends more time drinking than taking care of the baby. The baby turns out to be a bratty tramp who finally runs away from home. Toot becomes distraught and orders the housemates to go find the baby while she lies by the pool drinking. The baby is found, but not by any of the housemates; a woman from Child Services confronts Toot and tells her that the baby has not only been caught shoplifting, but is pregnant. As Foxxy, Clara, and Xandir gather around the operating table with her, Toot berates the baby harshly for becoming a mother without considering the responsibilities of motherhood, then quickly realizes that is exactly what she herself did. As the baby delivers its own baby, the housemates laugh over the lesson Toot has learned, right before the Child Services woman shows up to take both babies away. (Tomado de Geocities)

Cita notable:
Toot: "I should have know that a Nicaraguan baby couldn't solve problems. If they could Nicaragua wouldn't be such a shithole."
