Mo and her husband, Alex, throw a housewarming party to celebrate their first home—a cozy apartment they bought with help from Mo’s parents, who generously gave them most of the down payment as a wedding gift. The evening begins on a positive note, with good food, laughter, and friends, but things take an unexpected turn when Alex’s mother, Barbara, makes a startling suggestion.
During the party, Barbara proposes that Mo’s apartment be given to her daughter, Katie, a single mother in need of a place to stay. To Mo’s shock, Alex immediately agrees, suggesting they move in with his mom so Katie can have the apartment.
Mo is stunned, but before Alex and Barbara can act on their plan, Mo’s parents reveal they’ve already taken precautions. The apartment is solely in Mo’s name, secured through a prenup that ensures any property purchased with her parents’ assistance belongs to her. The room falls silent as Mo’s parents calmly confront Alex and Barbara. Mo’s father firmly states that no one will take what belongs to his daughter, adding that Alex has proven himself unworthy of the home and their trust.
The truth hits hard, leaving Alex, Barbara, and Katie in shock. A week later, Alex asks to meet with Mo, hoping to make amends. He acknowledges his mistake, but Mo can’t forget the betrayal. She’s hurt by how quickly Alex sided with his family and tried to give away her home without consulting her. Ultimately, Mo chooses to prioritize herself, realizing that while she still loves Alex, love alone can’t repair the broken trust.
