Netflix’s Man vs Baby Episode 4 wraps up the season with a hilarious yet heartwarming Christmas finale. Titled “Chapter 4,” the episode follows Trevor Bingley’s chaotic holiday preparations as everything that can go wrong — does. Between misplaced babies, swallowed fobs, and a Christmas feast for a family that never shows up, the show delivers a satisfying mix of humor and emotion while teasing a hopeful ending for Trevor and his family.
Trevor’s Chaotic Christmas Mission
The episode opens with Trevor (Rowan Atkinson) receiving a call from Petra, who informs him that the wealthy Schwarzenboch family is returning to London for Christmas. Petra instructs Trevor to wait at their penthouse until the housekeeper, Janet, arrives. However, Janet soon calls from Scotland, asking Trevor to pick up “a few” groceries — which, of course, turns into a full shopping expedition.
While Trevor is out shopping with baby Jesus, Georgia—who was supposed to care for the baby—realizes that he’s missing and alerts the police. Completely unaware of the chaos he’s caused, Trevor continues running errands and even visits Soren and Amethyst to drop off sweets.
In true Man vs Baby fashion, mishaps follow him everywhere. When Trevor returns to the penthouse, Anabelle’s dog Archie swallows the only elevator fob he has. This forces Trevor to wait for the dog to “return” it naturally, which leads to an absurdly funny scene of him fishing the fob out of a poop bag to summon the elevator.
A One-Man Christmas Show
Janet later calls again, revealing she won’t make it back in time for Christmas and instructs Trevor to cook a 12-course feast for the Schwarzenbochs, who are expected to arrive by 5 p.m. Determined to do his job, Trevor — with baby Jesus as his accidental sous chef — prepares an elaborate holiday meal all by himself.
But just as everything looks ready, Petra calls again to say that the Schwarzenbochs have canceled their return and are flying back to New York. The realization hits Trevor hard; he’s spent the entire day preparing for a dinner that no one will attend. Alone on Christmas Eve, he sits in the beautifully decorated penthouse, surrounded by untouched food.
An Unexpected Christmas Gathering
Just when things seem bleak, a police officer arrives to collect baby Jesus, followed by an unexpected parade of familiar faces. Soren and Amethyst show up with gifts, Anabelle and Archie join the dinner, and Lionel stops by to drop off his key before moving out.
Then comes the biggest surprise: Jess and Maddie’s flight to Barbados is canceled, leading Trevor to invite his estranged family over. The group turns the night into a spontaneous Christmas celebration — singing carols, popping champagne, and sharing laughter. It’s a warm and unexpected gathering that captures the show’s comedic heart.
The Ending Explained
As the party winds down, the group realizes that baby Jesus has vanished again. After a frantic search, they find him lying peacefully in the crib, mimicking the nativity scene. The moment serves as both a visual gag and a touching metaphor for Trevor’s accidental journey from chaos to connection.
The episode ends with a twist — the Schwarzenbochs finally arrive at their penthouse, just as Trevor and his guests have finished the feast. The shocked look on Trevor’s face as they walk in closes the season on a perfectly comedic note, suggesting that more misadventures could follow if the show returns.
Episode Review
Episode 4 is the perfect blend of slapstick comedy and holiday warmth. Rowan Atkinson once again proves that no one can deliver physical humor quite like him. Trevor’s antics — from wrestling with a Christmas tree to cooking a gourmet meal for no one — channel the classic energy of Mr. Bean while keeping the tone fresh and emotional.
While the CGI baby moments occasionally feel awkward, they don’t overshadow the heartfelt chaos of the story. The show’s running gag about the Schwarzenbochs’ private jet constantly changing destinations adds a clever layer of humor. By the time the final scene rolls around, Man vs Baby leaves viewers laughing, touched, and hoping for a second season.
Episode Rating: ★★★½ (3.5/5)
