In the next episode of "Mom," Bonnie (Allison Janney) tells her fiance Adam (William Fichtner) not to help Christy (Anna Faris) with money, when her car dies.

The synopsis and promotional photos for the upcoming installment, which is titled "Push-Down Coffee and a Working Turn Signal," were just released recently, and they show Christy and her boyfriend Patrick (Steven Weber) talking on the sofa at his house. It appears that they had just spent the night together, and they are now enjoying some moments in the morning.

However, when Christy drives home to her place, her car suddenly breaks down in the middle of nowhere. She has to call her mom Bonnie to get her. To make matters worse, her car is totally broken, and she needs a new one very soon. Adam wants to loan her the money, but Bonnie tells him not to help her.

Christy badly needs the help in order to visit Patrick who lives far away. Having a car will really help her at this point in time because a long-distance relationship is something Christy cannot do. She previously cheated on Patrick and slept with a fling of hers a number of times. Moreover, her job as a waitress is not paying her enough to get a car. Therefore, she really needs Adam's help to get a new vehicle. It remains to be seen though if Bonnie will allow it.

In the last episode, Bonnie and Adam, went to a friend's wedding in the next town. Adam apparently ended up liking the traditional wedding and wanted to have one with Bonnie, who was opposed to the idea. They ended up letting go of the notion, as Bonnie finally decided on a date for their upcoming wedding.

"Mom" season 5 episode 11 will hit the airwaves on Thursday, Feb. 1, at 9 p.m. EST on CBS.
