Answer

The couple is trying to improve their relationship and their lives. As they are working on their relationship, his mother has moved nearby and they are forced to spend too much time with her, and they aren't prepared for that with the other stresses in their lives.

Imagine if you had just moved in with your boyfriend/girlfriend, and a few days later your mother moved in with you. Everything becomes much more complicated.

Answer

When they want to do something together find a surprise thing  that their mother arrived in this town.
