Bonnie and Christy face challenges as they try to rebuild their relationship on Mom season 1 episode 10: Belgian Waffles and Bathroom Privileges. The two are still reeling from their recent confrontation when Christy arrives at Bonnie's house for breakfast. The tension between them is palpable, but they both try to make small talk over Belgian waffles.

As they eat, Christy begins to open up about the challenges she's facing with her education and work. Bonnie listens but can't help but offer unsolicited advice, which only makes Christy more frustrated. The tension between them quickly mounts, and they both start to say things they'll later regret.

Meanwhile, at work, Bonnie is faced with a dilemma when a coworker asks to use the bathroom during their shift. Bonnie is the only one with a key to the restroom and is hesitant to give it out, afraid that something will happen while she's not there. The coworker, who has a medical condition that requires frequent bathroom breaks, becomes increasingly desperate and asks to speak to the manager.

Back at the house, Christy and Bonnie continue to bicker, but a surprise visitor interrupts their argument. It's Violet, Christy's teenage daughter, who's come to town to visit her grandmother. The tension between the three generations is palpable, but they all try to put on a brave face and enjoy each other's company.

As the day progresses, Bonnie begins to realize that her stubbornness is preventing her from repairing her relationship with Christy. She decides to take the first step by apologizing for her behavior and acknowledging her role in their fractured relationship. Christy, still hurt but also relieved, accepts her apology and they both begin to work towards a better future.

Meanwhile, back at the restaurant, Bonnie's fear proves to be unfounded when the coworker simply uses the bathroom and returns to work. Bonnie realizes that she needs to trust her coworkers and not let her fears drive a wedge between them.

As the day comes to a close, Bonnie and Christy hug and exchange words of regret and forgiveness. They both acknowledge that rebuilding their relationship won't be easy, but they're both willing to put in the work. The episode ends on a bittersweet note as Christy says goodbye to her daughter and Bonnie reflects on the challenges she's faced and the work that still lies ahead.
