It could lead to a cute moment of bonding with Clinton over shared awkwardness after dinner. Which could finally lead to the kiss we’ve all been waiting for! 🙏

- So, Elliott, tell us, how did your dinner go?
- Well, on the bright side, I got 20 bucks out of it.

I thought she'd compound the misunderstanding by flirting with Elliot

I'm imagining Mrs A apologising graciously for the misunderstanding, and otherwise being chill about it.

Is the other 20 where he meets the delivery person on the way, offers to deliver it for them and gives them a tip?

Tune in next week to see if Elliot will speak up and correct the mistake!

Shakespeare-level romantic comedy. A few in-universe days down the line, Elliiot is standing there as both Clinton and Mrs A walk in from opposite directions and say simultaneously. "Meet my new boyfriend! Wait, *your* boyfriend? But he's *my* boyfriend!" Cue laugh track and "We'll be right back soon" caption.

I'll give it 80% chance of Elliot actually going to the restaurant before Clinton has time to intervene

"I went on a date and ended up getting a job as a take-out deliveryman. It was just so... *awkward* not to do it!" That's what's going to happen here, isn't it? Elliot is just the sort of personality who'd end up doing endless chores for Mrs A because it would be awkward to say no!
Ben Russell-Gough
2021-03-08 07:27:23 +0000 UTC
I guess still less awkward than: “Oh, I thought the blind date was tomorrow? Oh well, come on in we’ll make it a double date!”
Andrew

I'm gonna go with all of the above!

Welp, she doesn't have red eyes, so either Clinton didn't mention the guest was going to be a guy, or she's messing with him, OR she mastered pot brownies.

This is so awkward it is adorable and cut3. I have high high hopes about this, so it could be that skewing my thoughts.💝

apparently, this outfit says food delivery not guest. clinton will be sooo embarrassed when he realizes his mom did this.

Elliot really didn't need to deal with this on top of everything else he's worried about

I guess one of the upsides (if you can call it that) to pandemic life is that this situation is far less likely to happen...strangers only ring your doorbell when they actually are delivering something?

Mrs. A, calling out as Elliot heads to the restaurant: “Oh, and make sure to bring lots of spoons!”

I think it's more that nobody gets their own food anymore. I get that all the time too lol

In this case, the tip is 'Always wear a collared shirt when meeting your potential SO's mother.'

Maybe this will be SO awkward that it will use up all available awkward in the region and the rest of the evening will be smooth like butter.

I hope we're finally gonna learn Mrs Augustus's first name
Also, would she even be a Mrs? Isn't she divorced cuz her ex husband was a transphobe?

Hahahaha! The other day I was picking up takeout for my partner's birthday, and I walked up to the front door and the person inside said "Postmates?"
"Uh no, I'm here to pick up an order I placed online yesterday."
"Yesterday? Hold on... Yeah, we didn't make it yet. I'll call you when it's ready."
25 minutes go by while I wait in the car. I call the restaurant.
"Hello? Oh yes, the order's ready."
I get out of the car and walk around the corner to the front door. Same person inside sees me approach and says "GrubHub?"
I guess all bearded middle-aged dudes in Portland drive for delivery services.

One time I ordered a pizza from a local joint, and when it got to my house, it was half eaten. Turns out the staff was eating a reject pizza and the poor delivery kid got handed the box they were eating it out of instead of my order. He was absolutely mortified, but I told him it was all good, and even gave him a little extra for having to make the second trip. It almost certainly wasn’t his fault, and he looked traumatized.

Is Elliot losing weight? It seems to me he's the same height but slimmer.

At first i thought she was messing with him in a very mom way, then i realized " oh wait, she probably did order food and oooohhhh......."

Is this an Origin Story where he will end up like Pizza Girl and Chinese Delivery Man?

"Mrs Augustus always tips".
I'm not touching that.
I wonder what restaurant they're using?
If there is bread, will Elliot critique it?
