It really wasn't that complicated.  During the conversation, her mother
tries to change the subject and wants the peas.  She takes some, and
passes them on to old Doc Hayward, who passes them back to Donna's left
as they are speaking.  In a ridiculously obvious attempt at getting 
Donna to stop talking about the relationship between mom and Ben, she
asks for the peas again.  You know how ridiculous it is as she mounds
even more peas on her plate (it is virtually filled.)  That's how
unnerved
Donna's mother was.
