Ryan O'Rourke is a Senior News Writer at Collider with a specific interest in all things adult animation, video game adaptations, and the work of Mike Flanagan. He is also an experienced baseball writer with over six years of articles between multiple outlets, most notably FanSided's CubbiesCrib. Whether it's taking in a baseball game, a new season of Futurama or Castlevania: Nocturne, or playing the latest From Software title, he is always finding ways to show his fandom. When it comes to gaming and anything that takes inspiration from it, he is deeply opinionated on what's going on. Outside of entertainment, he's a graduate of Eureka College with a Bachelor's in Communication where he honed his craft as a writer. Between The IV Leader at Illinois Valley Community College and The Pegasus at Eureka, he spent the majority of his college career publishing articles on everything from politics to campus happenings and, of course, entertainment for the student body. Those principles he learned covering the 2020 election, Palestine, and so much more are brought here to Collider, where he has gleefully written on everything from the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes to Nathan Lane baby-birding sewer boys.

It's been two years since the end of Young Sheldon, yet the Cooper family continues to live on through its sitcom spin-off, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. Just about every member of the clan has popped in to see Georgie (Montana Jordan) since he moved in with the McAllisters, including his mother Mary (Zoe Perry), sister Missy (Raegan Revord), and his "Meemaw" (Annie Potts). Even his late father, Georgie Sr. (Lance Barber), has appeared in dream sequences with his son. However, his titular brother, played by Iain Armitage, has yet to make an appearance.

Ahead of Season 3's premiere, series co-creator Steve Holland confirmed that the young actor was putting a bit of distance between himself and Sheldon Cooper after starring on the Big Bang Theory spin-off for seven seasons. Chances are low that he'll be joining Georgie & Mandy anytime soon, but that's also in keeping with Sheldon's history after he went off to Caltech. He hasn't ruled out a return eventually, though, and there have certainly been attempts to convince him to make an appearance, like the big Thanksgiving reunion episode in Season 1. In his absence, though, another of the Coopers is about to take the spotlight in an upcoming episode and become a bigger presence in the couple's lives.

CBS shared new details and images for the upcoming fifth episode of Season 3, "A Snotty Attitude and a Party on a School Night," ahead of its premiere on November 5, showing what happens when Missy moves in with the McAllisters. A few of the shots show her awkwardly settling into Audrey (Rachel Bay Jones) and Jim's (Will Sasso) home like it's her own, leading to some hilarious scenes like Jim being shocked to find her on the couch with a bowl of popcorn. Georgie and Mandy (Emily Osment) certainly aren't happy about the arrangement, though. Living with her will push the two to their breaking points, all as Mary desperately tries to patch things up with her daughter so she'll come home.

Missy and Mary's conflict may take center stage, but one of the Cooper family's old friends is also back to give the mother some much-needed advice. Pastor Jeff (Matt Hobby) also appears in a few images, most notably having a meeting with Matthew Letchser's auto shop magnate Fred Fagenebacher in the church, both presumably over their respective relationships with Georgie's mother. The Young Sheldon alumni will also be back for next week's Halloween-themed episode, "The Devil's Interval and a British Stripper," where Mary will go to war with Audrey over young CeeCee's Trick-or-Treat costume. Halloween plans may be the reason Missy moves out, too, as she and her mother butt heads over what she's doing during the spooky holiday.

Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage Season 3, Episode 5 premieres on Thursday, November 5 on CBS. Check out the new images above.
