During a family New Year's dinner, Selma, who is allergic to ginger, protests that all the dishes contain it despite her request. Her in-laws and a woman named Shirley dismiss her concerns, pressuring her to conform. Shirley then serves Selma a special chicken soup she spent hours preparing. Under continued pressure from the family, Selma reluctantly drinks the soup. After she finishes, Shirley reveals she ground ginger powder into it, leaving Selma shocked and betrayed.
