With the pressure to please her parents building, she misses a job interview, gets dumped by her boyfriend Nick just before Christmas, and has a nervous breakdown.

Stressed about going home for the holidays without a boyfriend, she kidnaps David Martin, a random customer at the restaurant, and introduces him to her parents as Nick.
