Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage – Payback and a Partial Shebang

By: Sammi Turano

 

 Jim (Will Sasso), Audrey (Rachel Bay Jones), Mandy (Emily Osment) and Connor (Dougie Baldwin) eating dinner while Audrey nitpicks on how the table was set.

Georgie (Montana Jordan) comes home and complains about the competition with Fred and how he got a prank towing call. As they all talk about him and how things like this have happened before, Georgie gets another page saying that he needs to tow a car. Georgie says he won’t fall for it again, but Connor points out that it might be a mom with starving kids stranded on the side of the road. Georgie goes to check it out.

The next day Georgie comes in to work to see Ruben surrounded by snow tires. They discuss how it hasn’t snowed in twenty years in Texas and realize Fred is behind it. Georgie goes to call Fred (Matt Letscher) and the two men argue. Once Georgie hangs up, he and Ruben realize they need to beef up security….with no security cameras since they cannot afford any. They come to the conclusion that they have no idea what to do.

Mandy is talking to Georgie on the phone and when she hangs up, says that he is sleeping at the store. Connor asks if the honeymoon is over, and even if it is, he is rooting for them. Audrey and Jim discuss Fred and his vindictive behavior, with Audrey deciding that maybe she should talk to him since they have a history. This earns her teasing from the family.

At the store Georgie is watching “Baywatch” when Mandy comes to check on him….leading to them having sexy time.

Mandy visits Fred the next day and threatens to use her news power to take him down. However, he tells her about how Georgie destroyed his tow trucks, leading to them fighting and her throwing a stapler.

Mandy then storms into the shop to yell at Georgie and Ruben, saying they can go to jail. Georgie doesn’t think it is a big deal and Ruben thinks he is safe since Fred never mentioned him. Mandy continues to yell at them.

At dinner everyone is awkward since Georgie and Mandy are fighting over him vandalizing Fred’s trucks, whilst beating around the bush about what happened. Connor tries to figure out what is happening but Mandy tells him to look out the window. Jim decides to go eat in front of the TV.

While Ruben watches the store, Fred visits him and offers to buy him out and give him a job. Ruben tries to defend Georgie and says he likes working with him, but says he will think about the offer.

Mandy slams the dishwasher closed when Jim walks in. He asks her what is wrong and she says she is mad at Georgie for his actions. Jim tries to explain why he did what he did and how it was for her and CeeCee and says she is a strong woman. She wonders if she is still pretty.

The next day Georgie and Ruben are crabby and argue over what to do. Ruben says he has plans to not go bankrupt, go to prison or sleep in a hearst again unless he is dead. They argue and Ruben storms out.

Mandy helps Georgie at the store where they talk about the Ruben situation. She tells him that maybe Ruben is right in how he feels. This leads to Georgie going to Ruben’s and having a tense encounter with his abuela (Lidia Porto). The guys talk things out and Georgie says he cannot do this without Ruben. They debate on whether or not they should use Jim or Abuela for counteroffers, all while Abuela insults Georgie.

The guys are back at the store and talk about getting a new tow truck and hiring a driver for it. Abuela gives them a thumbs down as the episode comes to a close.
