The answer is:

Mother: You may stay up later this week to practice, and we can shop this weekend.

In the dialogue, May experiences two conflicts: she must perfect her piano piece as well as find suitable clothes to wear at the recital next week. Her mother's suggestions to go to bed later than usual this week in order to practise and to go shopping for clothes at the weekend best deals with May's struggle to be ready for Thursday's recital.
