In the HBO miniseries, "The Baby," Episode 4, we saw that Natasha and her younger sister Bobbi had reached their mother, Barbara's commune. Mrs. Eaves had also accompanied Natasha, and was trying to find ways to kill the baby. That night, Mrs. Eaves heard a voice saying that the baby wanted Natasha to know about a woman named Helen. Both the women get a hallucinatory psychic vision and witness the story of Helen. Episode 5 then took us back in time, where we got to know about Helen, who gave birth to the baby. Helen McGregor refers to Mrs. Eaves as her maiden aunt, and she was married to Jack. She was having a secret relationship with a woman named Nour. Helen had run from her husband's house and gone to live with Nour. She was pregnant and used to visit the hospital for her routine checkup. On one such visit, the doctors informed Jack about her, who had abducted her from the hospital. Helen found herself once again in her husband's house. She was kept intoxicated by Jack until she gave birth to the baby. Helen didn't even want to see the face of her newborn. She despised the mere presence of the baby. For her, it was a reminder of that night when her husband had almost forced himself upon her. Helen never wished to be pregnant, but she was not given a choice. Her father-in-law was suffering from bowel cancer, and Jack wanted to have a baby as soon as possible. Helen stabbed her caretaker, and pushed Jack down the stairs to escape the house and get reunited with Nour. She went directly to the secluded cabin at the foot of the cliff, as her husband didn't know about that place. The baby appeared there one night, and a petrified Helen jumped into the sea and gave her life. The baby vanished from the cabin and then went on a killing spree. Each and every woman who had the baby met their fateful end. And now Natasha had him and had to find a way to get rid of him before he could do any harm to her and her loved ones. Towards the end of episode 6, it felt like Natasha had started to understand the baby. She knew he was angry and maybe felt the same fear of abandonment that her sister Bobbi had felt her whole life. In the upcoming episodes, we will get to know if Mrs. Eaves is able to convince Natasha to go and find Jack or whether Natasha has a change of heart and decides to keep the baby.
