Spock is refitted with faked (shaved) Vulcan eyebrows and pointed-ear prosthetics before T'Pring beams aboard. Amanda offers to head T'Pril and her husband Sevel off at the pass so that Spock can tell T'Pring what's up and gain another ally, but T'Pring is clearly exhausted (in that serene way only Vulcans do) at dealing with her picky, overbearing mother, and Spock makes the decision to withhold the truth from her. T'Pril and Sevel then arrive in Pike's quarters to begin the ritual. Spock is required to make T'Pring's family tea -- which involves holding a teapot with no handle -- and then sit serenely while his mother-in-law-to-be gives a concise and pointed run-down of his flaws. (Amanda does the same to T'Pring, but since she actually ''likes'' T'Pring, it's much less demeaning.) Finally, Spock must [[PsychicLink mind-meld]] with his mother. He was able to (mostly) control himself while practicing and performing the other two rituals, but he is completely unable to fake this one. Fortunately, TheCavalry arrives: Chapel has gotten the cure from the Kerkohvians; his genome is restored immediately, though she says the morphological differences will take several hours to manifest. Spock, now half-Vulcan again, performs the mind-meld flawlessly, and T'Pril is forced to admit that Spock has proven himself fully Vulcan, "despite your... [[FantasticRacism handicap]]." Well, it may have been over in the [[Film/StarTrek2009 Kelvinverse]], but the one thing we've learned is that, if Spock has a BerserkButton, it's YourMom. He takes off the prosthetic ears and proclaims that a mere human just performed the rituals perfectly... and then thanks Amanda for persevering through FantasticRacism for the sake of her love for her husband and children.

* RunningGag: Throughout the ritual, Pike is trying his hardest to hide the fact that Spock is not Vulcan at the moment, and just when he thinks that things are going smoothly, he's back to commiserating about the situation when it looks like things are about to go off the rails. Even when the ritual is over and he's off to get the food for Sevek, Spock takes off his fake ears and Pike just sets the tray down in frustration.

* JerkassHasAPoint: As insufferable as T'Pril was, she was right in that Spock's devotion to his career in Starfleet has put a huge strain on his relationship with T'Pring, and it is not unreasonable to question whether they could actually start a family together. This might've been part of the reason why T'Pring chose to be with Stonn, a coworker.

* DeliciousDistraction: Pike doesn't specifically try to distract T'Pring's parents with his cooking (except insofar as he wants to keep them in a good mood and amenable towards Spock), but it ends up happening anyway.

* AllForNothing: Spock attempts to master his human side to pass the engagement ritual so his wedding with T'Pring will be accepted. He succeeds, but because he didn't let T'Pring in on what was happening, she decided to put their relationship on hold. This causes him to get together with Christine, and T'Pring eventually marries Stonn.
