Georgie And Mandy's First Marriage Season 2 May Provide Another Clue About The Couple's Breakup
Contains spoilers for "Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage" Season 2, Episode 2 — "Fan Mail and Old-Timey Organ Music"
Georgie Cooper (Montana Jordan) has always tried his best to support his wife Mandy (Emily Osment) as she reaches for the stars in "Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage." Unfortunately, he can't stay cool when her position as a weekend weather girl on the local news starts attracting male attention, strongly hinting that his feelings may lead to their future divorce. As it is, Georgie's jealousy leads to a major rift in "Fan Mail and Old-Time Organ Music": he even takes her picture down from the wall at the tire store. Unfortunately, the couple falls back on old habits instead of resolving their conflict, another clue as to how and why they may eventually split up.
The issue involves raunchy fan mail that Mandy keeps receiving from strangers, which Georgie at first enjoys — then finds irritating. When a man buys her a drink while they're out one night, Georgie blows up. But instead of discussing it with each other, Mandy talks to her mom about becoming a small-town Texas sex symbol, while Georgie trying to expiate his confused feelings by defending a bartender from a creep — and getting beaten up for his troubles.
Since Georgie and Mandy don't actually talk about what happened, this might be sorted out some day down the line — or lead to a full-on breakup. It's a shame there's no resolution because Mandy is understandably furious at her husband's double standard. Georgie, she points out, receives flirtatious female attention all the time but she never freaks out about it — well, not on "Georgie and Mandy" anyway.
Mandy used to be the jealous one
Back on "Young Sheldon," Mandy didn't like it much when other women flirted with Georgie. Even when they were broken up, she hated the notion of him being with someone else. The clearest example of this happening in previous episodes occurs in "A German Folk Song and an Actual Adult" during Season 6. Georgie and Mandy aren't married yet, so he goes out on a couple of dates with a Video Village customer named Amber (Lucy Loken). Mandy clearly hates seeing Georgie and Amber together, and is hurt and disappointed that he'd rather go out with another woman instead of having a birthday dinner with her and CeeCee. But since she's been so reluctant to accept Georgie's repeated proposals, she can't complain.
Fortunately for Georgie — and the existence of this spin-off — he starts missing Mandy during the date. When Amber starts making negative comments about how annoying babies are, he bails on his night with her and heads to his Meemaw's (Annie Potts) house. When he gets there, he proposes to Mandy and this time she accepts. But that was then, and now that the flirty shoe's on the other foot, something is clearly set to give.
