Georgie And Mandy's First Marriage Season 1 Finale Marks A Huge Step For Mary And Georgie

Contains spoilers for "Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage" Season 1, Episodes 21 and 22 — "Guilt Boots" and "Big Decisions"

Mary Cooper (Zoe Perry) has always been a little harder on her son Georgie (Montana Jordan) than the rest of her brood of three. It's clear that she loves the boy, but it's also evident that she has to depend on him the most, and since Georgie has always been more athletically minded than the other Cooper kids, she's worried about his future. When he impregnates Mandy while he's still underage, he is understandably left in a tailspin. 

But things turn around in "Guilt Boots," where Georgie gets a last-minute hail-mary loan from his mom, who offers to put up the family house as collateral in trade for Georgie getting enough cash to buy McAllister Auto from Jim (Will Sasso). That opens the door to Georgie's future as "Dr. Tire," but even more importantly, as she offers to sign off on the loan, she praises his hard work — which is a big step forward in their relationship.

It even ends with a sweet moment in which Mary and Georgie have a loving discussion about Georgie's steadfast, stick-to-it nature. Mary happily tells her son that it's his turn, and that he deserves it, which Georgie can hardly believe. But might Mary's act of generosity end up biting her in the end?

While it's lovely to see mother and son bond so beautifully, there might be some trouble ahead. While this storyline choice opens up a lot of interesting possibilities — including Mary coming to work at McAllister Auto or getting even more involved in things around Georgie's house — it's possible she's gotten her family into a financial pickle. It might even be true that Mary using the house as collateral is one of the reasons why the Cooper family ends up living in a badly-damaged trailer home, as Sheldon (Jim Parsons) often says in "The Big Bang Theory." 

It's unclear whether or not this is simply a joke Sheldon likes to make to taunt his mother or an actual commentary on the Cooper living situation. If it's not a joke, then it definitely casts a retroactive pallor on everything — and throws extra poignancy on the situation, since Mary is only trying to help her boy out. Call it one more thing only an adult would notice about "Georgie and Mandy," but there could be quite the terrible twist in the road awaiting them all.
