After a visit to the obstetrician and gynecologist, Dr. Rawlings, she realizes that she does not know who the father is and doesn't even have a way of contacting Jack, the handsome stranger. However, Miranda spies him on TV where they realize that Jack Qwant is a billionaire and the inventor of a dating site that has an algorithm to match couples together. Miranda conspires with Bridget to have Jack on the show to take hair samples so that Bridget will be able to test it against the DNA of her baby to either confirm or eliminate Jack as the father. At the taping the hair and makeup artist are able to nab samples of Jack's hair for Bridget, but Jack recognizes Bridget, and she decides to tell him that she is pregnant and tells him he is the father, without mentioning Mark Darcy.

However, Mark is so thrilled at the news that he is about to be a father that Bridget does not tell him about Jack.
