complimentary motive

Opposite yet similar to ‘ulterior motives’, a complimentary motive is when the original plan is pursued on a parallel path that compliments an ulterior pursuit.

More simply put, an ulterior motive takes the place of the original plan, whereas a complimentary motive suggests an option to compliment the original plan.
Pascal and Tina want Sunday bloody’s, so Pascal suggested the complimentary motive to go to the horseshoe bar and grill for bloody Mary’s, as she knew her crush, who owns the bar, would be there.
