sits through

Stays until finished

To sit through something is to remain seated and endure it from beginning to end, usually implying boredom, discomfort, or patience: We sat through a three-hour presentation on compliance procedures.

The phrase suggests passive tolerance rather than active engagement—you sit through a dull meeting or a bad movie, not something you enjoy.
