Games : Are there actually any consequences of watering my plant?

In Max's dorm room, there's a plant by the window that the player can choose to water. When the player does this, the butterfly icon appears and the game says "This action will have consequences..."

What sort of consequences? I ask because other than

it's never revisited for the rest of the first episode, not even so much as a mention in conversations or even Max's own thoughts. Most other actions (with a couple more exceptions) have some influence later in the game, even if they don't end up dramatically altering the course of the storyline (I won't say which ones).

Or is that the consequence the game is referring to (in which case it makes it seem kind of shallow gameplay-wise)? Will it become a plot point only in a future episode?
