Martin, the hit sitcom starring Martin Lawrence, follows the life of a talk-show host named Martin Payne and his friends in Detroit. In Martin season 1 episode 9, titled "Baby, It's Cole'd in Here," Martin and his friends are in for a night of surprises when they all end up spending the weekend at Gina's apartment while her parents are away.
As the episode begins, Gina is excited to have her parents out of town so that she can finally have some alone time with Martin. However, her plans are quickly derailed when her friend Nicole calls her sobbing and begging for a place to stay for the weekend. Feeling sympathetic, Gina tells Nicole that she can stay at her apartment, despite Martin's protestations.
When Martin and his friends arrive at Gina's apartment, they are surprised to find that Nicole is not alone - she has brought along her new baby boy. While Cole is adorable, the guys are less than thrilled to have a newborn in the house, especially when they realize that the baby is keeping them all up at night.
As the weekend wears on, tensions rise as Martin and his friends struggle to get some sleep while Nicole tends to the baby. Meanwhile, Gina is growing increasingly annoyed with Martin's lack of sensitivity towards Nicole, who is clearly struggling as a new mother.
Throughout the episode, Martin and his friends try to find ways to get rid of the baby and convince Nicole to leave, but their plans backfire at every turn. They even resort to enlisting the help of an elderly neighbor, Ms. Geri (played by Wanda Sykes), who is known for her spiritual healings and exorcisms.
As the night wears on, Martin and his friends begin to see things in a new light when they witness Nicole's incredible dedication and love for her child. They realize that being a mother is not an easy job, and that they should be more supportive of their friend.
In the end, Martin and his friends come together to help Nicole with the baby, and even Martin shows a softer side when he offers to help Nicole out whenever she needs it. The episode ends with the group gathered together, exhausted but happy, as they listen to the soothing sounds of Cole's lullaby.
Overall, "Baby, It's Cole'd in Here" is a heartwarming and humorous episode of Martin that explores the challenges of new motherhood and the importance of friendship and support. With its great ensemble cast and hilarious hijinks, this episode is sure to leave audiences laughing and feeling good.
