Jim Halpert returns to Dunder Mifflin after a week of jury duty. He tells his coworkers about a boring case to avoid suspicion.

Jim actually lied about his time away from work. He was sent home after only half a day on the first morning. He spent the rest of the week helping Pam with their two young children.

Dwight Schrute suspects Jim is lying about the case. He tries to catch Jim in a lie by asking tricky questions. Dwight even brings an empanada truck driver to the office to identify Jim.

Meanwhile, Angela gives birth to her son, Philip. The office staff visits her and her husband at the hospital. Everyone is shocked because the "premature" baby is very large.

Oscar realizes the baby was not born early. Angela admits she got pregnant before her wedding to the Senator. Dwight sees the baby and notices strong Schrute family traits.

Jim eventually confesses his lie to Andy and the rest of the office. He tries to win them back by bringing his kids to visit. The plan backfires when the children cause total chaos.

The coworkers see how stressed Jim and Pam look with the kids. They realize Jim’s week off was not a relaxing vacation. The staff decides to forgive Jim for his lie.

Dwight finds out the baby was conceived when he and Angela were together. He becomes convinced that he is the real father of baby Philip. He drops his plan to get Jim fired to focus on his new son.
