Georgie & Mandys First Marriage Episode 3 Makes Its Big Breakup Sadder With Jim's Involvement

1 week ago 2

While Young Sheldon’s spinoff Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage hasn't revealed the reason behind the titular couple’s breakup yet, the sitcom has managed to make the inevitable divorce even sadder with one twist. Young Sheldon’s follow-up Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage has a unique premise. Young Sheldon’s finale ended with Sheldon’s older brother Georgie and his new wife Mandy happily married, but The Big Bang Theory already proved that this doesn’t last. When Georgie was introduced in The Big Bang Theory season 11, episode 23, “The Sibling Realignment,” he referred to his “Ex-wife,” meaning he and Mandy must eventually separate.

Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage Begins To Justify Georgie's Hatred Of Sheldon In The Big Bang Theory

Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage showed how bad things were for the Coopers after George's death, justifying Georgie's TBBT grudge against Sheldon.

This puts Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage in an unusual position, as it is a sitcom about a couple that viewers already know will eventually break up. The driving mystery of the series is why this breakup happens and whether the pair even reunite. In an interview with TVLine, star Emily Osment even suggested that the couple could eventually remarry later in life. While Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’s Missy storyline proves that the spinoff also has other characters to keep tabs on, justifying Georgie and Mandy’s breakup is its central focus. To this end, its third episode featured a sad twist.

Georgie’s Plans To Pay Off Mandy’s Debt Involved The Tire Store

In season 1, episode 3, “Secrets, Lies, and a Chunk of Change,” Georgie discovered that Mandy had thousands of dollars in credit card debt that she never mentioned to him. Georgie was understandably worried by this revelation, but that wasn’t the troubling twist in the episode’s plot. Georgie tried to work out how the couple would pay off Mandy’s debt, and he eventually came up with a clever new way for Jim’s garage to make more money. Since Georgie works with his father-in-law, this plan seemed like it would benefit everyone and even earned praise from Mandy’s mother, Audrey.

It would make sense for Jim to hope to hand over more responsibility to Georgie in time to come.

While this seemed like great news, Georgie’s plan for Jim’s business could come back to bite him. Already, it is clear that Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’s Sheldon replacement Connor has no more interest in taking over Jim’s tire store than Sheldon had in becoming a high school football coach. As such, it would make sense for Jim to hope to hand over more responsibility to Georgie in time to come. Indeed, by the time viewers meet him in The Big Bang Theory, Georgie is running a chain of successful Dr. Tire stores throughout his home state of Texas.

The Dr. Tire stores are assumed to be businesses that Georgie established on his own, but “Secrets, Lies, and a Chunk of Change” proves that Georgie may have changed Jim’s store enough to demand an ownership stake. This could result in a messy, bitter battle over the business that might be the reason for Georgie and Mandy’s eventual breakup. Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’s Audrey hasn’t hidden her dislike for Georgie, but Jim has supported his son-in-law. If Georgie tried to take over Jim’s business for financial gain, this could pit Young Sheldon’s hero against his new father figure from Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.

New episodes of Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage air on CBS Thursdays at 8pm.
