A man introduces his girlfriend to his mother over a tense family meal. The girlfriend asserts she's there for her boyfriend, not to please the mother, leading to a sharp confrontation. The mother complains to her son about the girlfriend's disrespect. He responds by giving his mother an ultimatum: if she's unsatisfied, he will break up with his girlfriend but will then avoid relationships entirely, leaving the mother to reluctantly accept the situation to keep him from withdrawing completely. The girlfriend later privately questions the boyfriend about her 'performance'.
