Babygirl plot recap, spoiler-light
Romy Mathis is a successful New York City CEO married to theater director Jacob. Her life shifts when a young intern named Samuel rescues her from a stray dog and subsequently becomes her mentee. During a private meeting, Samuel propositions Romy, leading to a hesitant kiss.
They soon begin a passionate and illicit affair at a hotel, where Samuel assumes a dominant role that challenges Romy's usual control and leaves her deeply conflicted. The relationship grows increasingly intense and boundary-pushing when Samuel shows up uninvited at Romy and her family's country home under the guise of returning a forgotten laptop. Romy orders him to stay away, fearing the consequences if their dynamic is exposed.
However, the stress mounts as Samuel threatens to transfer departments and later arrives at Romy's house for her daughter's birthday party while dating Esmée, Romy's executive assistant. Esmée urges Romy to end the affair to protect her professional standing, prompting Romy to confess her infidelity to Jacob.
