Actually, it's Ben, Viki and Sam who have come to see the baby, but he keeps hallucinating and seeing Paloma.

Sam suggests that Todd and Blair were able to adopt the baby rather quickly so he offers to go over any paperwork that Todd may have. He's also suspicious over Todd's willingness to adopt someone else's child and expresses as much to Manning.

Todd gets everyone's attention and announces that Ben and Viki have been chosen as godparents, as Blair looks on rather confused looking.
