Jacob has sex with his wife's sister by mistake and doesn't figure it out until the next morning, Rachel trades sex with Jacob for some mandrakes, and God opens and closes wombs along the way. Over a twenty-year period, Jacob and his four wives have eleven sons and one daughter, which must be some kind of record outside of Utah.
This episode also shows Jacob's (and God's) biological knowledge - where he makes striped baby goats by having goats copulate while looking at striped rods.
