Georgie And Mandy Season 2's Dr. Tire Easter Egg Explained By Co-Creator

Contains spoilers for "Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage" Season 2, Episode 1 — "A Tie Breaker and a Huge Mistake"

As Season 2 opens, Georgie Cooper (Montana Jordan) has taken another step into adulthood in "Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage." He's so confident in his newfound status as co-owner of McAllister Auto and Tire that he can see the future — a time when he's the unflappable Dr. Tire, star of television ads and owner of a huge tire franchise. Ruben (Jessie Prez), his new partner, complains that he has no place in Georgie's rebranding idea. Georgie replies that Reuben can be his comely nurse in the ads — the last thing Reuben, who already feels like an unequal partner, wants to contemplate.

In case you were wondering, Georgie's fantasy of becoming "Dr. Tire" won't reach fruition just yet. Co-creator Steve Holland told TVLine that fans will have to be patient and enjoy their Easter egg until the show catches up with them. "We're not changing it to Dr. Tire this season," Holland said. "It's just a little Easter egg for those in the know. Georgie has this name in the back of his mind, and it's a nod to his future success." 

Holland added that Georgie's fantasy of expanding the chain throughout the state and then nationwide also won't be happening yet, but he's hopeful the show will cover it. "We haven't really talked about it yet, but hopefully we'll get to that point," he explained. "On 'Big Bang,' we know he's the tire king of Texas, and he's still as ambitious as ever. I do think he's going to have a national chain at some point."  

The fight between Georgie and Ruben will be a big part of Season 2

What will be an immediate part of Georgie's future? Conflict with Ruben, which Steve Holland reports will be a recurring theme in Season 2 of "Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage." "[P]art of Season 2's dynamic between him and Ruben is that push-pull," Holland revealed to TVLine. "Georgie wants to go full steam ahead, while Ruben's the cautious one saying, 'We can't take on more debt.' That tension drives a lot of their story this year."

Holland is right, because Georgie and Ruben still haven't learned to solve their problems on their own. It takes Jim (Will Sasso) jumping in to mediate their disagreement over the tire shop to get them back on the same page. But they can't agree on whether or not they can afford an accountant to solve their debt issues. They end up solving their argument over the business' accounting with a foot race. Georgie wins — but his blistered feet pay the price after he runs the course in cowboy boots. One way or another, Georgie and Ruben will have to sort themselves out, or say goodbye to what they've built.
