In the upcoming episode of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, titled “An Old Mustang,” Georgie makes a questionable decision when he starts a project with his father-in-law, Jim, leaving his brother, Connor, out in the cold. Now, if you’re familiar with the Cooper clan dynamics — or even just the basic laws of familial physics — you know this arrangement is about as stable as a Jenga tower built on a waterbed.
Sure, Georgie’s always had a knack for entrepreneurial schemes, from selling baseball cards to peddling questionable electronics. And Jim’s no stranger to a get-rich-quick idea. But, putting these two together while excluding Connor, who’s proven to be fairly level-headed despite the family’s penchant for chaos, seems like a recipe for a Cooper-sized explosion. Is this a genuine attempt to bond with Jim, or is Georgie unconsciously trying to recreate his past partnership with Meemaw, albeit with slightly less gambling and slightly more exhaust fumes?
Meanwhile, on the other side of the family battlefield, Mandy and Audrey find themselves locked in a decorating duel over CeeCee’s nursery. While the two haven’t exactly been best buds since Audrey moved in, this decorating face-off raises serious questions. What’s the real source of this clash? Is it merely a difference in taste, or does this nursery represent some deeper anxieties about motherhood, family roles, and who gets to hold the glue gun?
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage airs Thursdays at 8:00 PM on CBS.
