Ep 7. The Man and the Baby and the Man

The episode titled "The Man and the Baby and the Man" from Room 104 season 2 revolves around two strangers who find themselves staying in the eponymous hotel room. One of them is a man who appears to be homeless and is carrying a baby in a basket. The other is a businessman who is on a trip but has nowhere else to sleep due to his hotel being overbooked.

Initially, the two are wary of each other and keep to their own side of the room, but as the night goes on, they start to open up to each other. The homeless man, who introduces himself as Jimson, tells the businessman about how he ended up taking care of the baby, who he claims is his niece. He reveals that he is struggling to make ends meet and needs money to take care of the baby properly.

The businessman, on the other hand, tells Jimson about his life and how he feels trapped in his job and his marriage. He admits that he has been having an affair and is considering leaving his family. Jimson listens patiently and offers him some advice, telling him to appreciate what he has and not take it for granted.

As the night progresses, the baby starts to cry, and Jimson becomes frantic, realizing that he has run out of formula. The businessman, whose name is never revealed, offers to go out and buy some for the baby. Jimson is hesitant at first, but eventually agrees, admitting that he has no other options.

While the businessman is out, Jimson reflects on his situation and the choices he has made in his life. He thinks about the baby and how he will do anything to take care of her, even if it means begging on the streets. When the businessman returns with the formula, Jimson is grateful, and the two share a moment of mutual understanding.

The episode ends with Jimson and the baby leaving the room, and the businessman looking out the window, deep in thought. The episode is a poignant reflection on the struggles of life and the connections we make in unexpected places.
