Ellie and her family return from vacation to find their home vandalized with eggs and a cryptic note: “THIS IS FOR WHAT YOU TOOK FROM ME BEFORE CHRISTMAS!” Shocked, Ellie checks security footage—only to discover the culprit is her own mother.

When she confronts her, the truth spills out. Ellie’s mother had been manipulated by Ethan’s mother, Gloria, who falsely claimed she had been invited on the family’s vacation. Feeling abandoned, Ellie’s mom lashed out. Realizing she had unintentionally distanced herself from her mother over the years, Ellie acknowledges her pain but insists they rebuild their bond—together.

Meanwhile, Ethan confronts Gloria, who admits she lied out of loneliness. Instead of fostering a friendship with Ellie’s mom, she let bitterness drive a wedge between them. Determined to mend the damage, Gloria plans a tea party to make amends.

In time, both grandmothers become close friends, baking together and playing mahjong. The family heals, but Ellie swears off eggs forever.
