In the episode, Cerie Xerox (Bowden) gets engaged so that she can be a "young hot mom", causing Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) to think about marriage and having a family. Meanwhile, Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) has trouble dealing with his own domineering mother, who wants to move in with him, and at the same time, Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) becomes upset by Josh Girard's (Ross) impression of him.

Cerie Xerox (Katrina Bowden) announces her engagement during a gathering for Jenna Maroney's (Jane Krakowski) birthday, and says that she wants to be a "young hot mom". Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) confronts her own marital and maternal status. She speaks with Jenna about this, and Jenna proceeds to tell all of the men in the office—Frank Rossitano (Judah Friedlander), James "Toofer" Spurlock (Keith Powell), and J. D. Lutz (John Lutz)—that Liz is looking for someone to get her pregnant. Later that day, Liz sees Cerie in the makeup department getting herself made up. Anna (Bridget Moloney), the makeup artist has her baby at work with her. She asks Liz to hold the baby for a while, so Liz takes the baby for a stroll around the 30 Rock building. Suddenly she realizes that she is no longer in the building, but is now in her apartment. She hurries back to the office with the baby, and Pete Hornberger (Scott Adsit) fixes the situation.
