HBO’s comedy horror series ‘The Baby,’ created by Siân Robins-Grace and Lucy Gaymer, follows Natasha, a 38-year-old woman who is unexpectedly pregnant. The Arrival, the first episode of the comedy programme, features Natasha experiencing the terrifying occurrences that occur in the presence of the baby.
She tries to hand over the kid to the authorities, but is taken aback when she sees the results of her efforts. Natasha’s life becomes more difficult as she comes to a stalemate with the strange infant. We’ve gone over the episode in detail to uncover the answers because it concludes with many unanswered questions.
Let’s talk about what we’re thinking!
The Baby Episode 1 ‘The Arrival’ Recap
A woman with a yellow jacket is chased by two police officers in the first scene of ‘The Arrival.’ After leaving her bag open with a baby inside, the mother goes to a cliff and jumps to her death. The woman’s baby follows her and goes off the cliff as well. Natasha arranges a poker night for her pals, Mags and Rita, the day before.
Mags’ baby takes the mother’s attention away from the game and the talk of her pals. Natasha, who despises infants, expresses her unhappiness, only discovering that Rita is expecting a child. Natasha’s behaviour irritates her two pals, who are about to depart.
The next day, Natasha takes a vacation to a beach cottage. The woman with the yellow jacket collapses to the ground as she stands outside the house. Natasha is shocked when the baby falls into her hands. The two cops arrive at her home, take the infant, and get in the car to return to the station. A boulder, however, falls on the automobile, killing both officers. The baby miraculously survives.
Natasha drives the baby to the nearest police station, stopping for petrol along the way. She asks the storekeeper to watch the infant while going to the bathroom. To get out of the situation, Natasha sneaks out of the bathroom and tries to start the automobile, but she fails.
Meanwhile, the storekeeper is killed when a shelf falls on him. She takes the infant to the police station, where she delivers her witness testimony about the four fatalities and is held while the statement is verified.
How Does the Baby Arrive at Natasha’s Apartment in the First Episode of The Baby?
After the authorities have verified Natasha’s witness account, she is freed from custody. She is delighted to be able to leave the frightening baby behind and return to her everyday life. Natasha notices someone outside her door while cleaning her apartment and opens it, only to see the mystery baby in the same basket.
Because it’s highly unlikely that a police officer would abandon a baby on Natasha’s doorstep without explanation, the child is most likely haunted. It could simply be a conduit for a paranormal entity who has made contact with Natasha.
Only when the baby is with Natasha does it cease wailing, implying that the two of them have become inseparable, at least in terms of the infant or the hypothetical entity. Natasha’s inability to escape from the baby while it is in the care of the storekeeper demonstrates how she can no longer separate herself from the child.
The police officers’ deaths while attempting to take the infant from Natasha imply that she will not be left alone. She also recognises the futility of attempting to flee it, prompting her to seek Rita’s assistance.
Natasha will be forced to keep the kid since she has no other choice. She is intelligent enough to recognise that she is not dealing with a normal human being. Even if Natasha tries to separate from the baby, she may need to use unconventional methods rather than relying on the police. Natasha may have to live with it until she finds a solution. Natasha’s self-assurance is eroding as she sees the terrifying entity following her, leading her to Rita.
Despite Natasha’s disdain towards parenting, the baby’s arrival transforms her into “a mother.” We might observe her juggling motherly responsibilities while also being terrified of the scary baby. Because the baby’s presence does not cause Natasha to die, unlike the previous four deaths she observes, it is evident that the baby wishes for her to remain alive in order to be with it. Regardless of Natasha’s best efforts, the baby will inevitably return to her.
A new kind of motherhood.
