The four-episode miniseries Man vs Baby, starring Rowan Atkinson as Bingley, closes with a simple and heartwarming ending after a series of chaotic events. The sequel to Man vs Bee does not require any prior knowledge of the original film, and it follows Bingley as he unintentionally becomes responsible for an abandoned baby during Christmas.
Bingley, now working as a temporary school helper, stumbles upon an unattended baby after a school event. The child is not the one the school expected. Someone has left the infant at the doorstep and disappeared. At the same time, Bingley receives a well-paying house-sitting offer. With his daughter’s college fees in mind, he takes the job. He tries calling the police and social services, but the baby keeps hiding or wandering off, leading to several missed opportunities for rescue.
At the penthouse, Bingley hides the baby, whom he names Jesus, from Petra, the supervisor. She assures him that the owners have not visited on Christmas for years. However, Bingley soon finds himself juggling multiple crises, including a dog swallowing the lift key, a homeless couple secretly living in the building, and a mix-up with the social services officer when he accidentally hands over the wrong baby. Despite his best intentions, Bingley’s mistakes pile up as he tries to manage feeding, cleaning, and protecting the baby.
Here’s what happens in the final episode
The tension builds when Petra informs Bingley that the penthouse owners have changed their plans and will be arriving for Christmas. The appointed housekeeper is unable to come because of heavy snowfall, leaving Bingley to prepare everything alone. He decorates the Christmas tree, cooks the feast, and sets up the home, hoping to welcome the couple properly.
But the owners never show up. Petra later apologises for forgetting to tell him their flight was diverted. Bingley is left with a full Christmas spread and no guests to serve, until unexpected visitors arrive.
Bingley’s ex-wife and daughter arrive at the penthouse after their flight gets cancelled. The homeless couple, their baby, and the social services worker also join the gathering. The group shares a peaceful Christmas dinner, bringing closure after all the confusion and mishaps. Just when everything feels settled, the real twist appears: the penthouse owners ring the door to be let in, proving that Bingley’s streak of bad luck is not quite over.
