The McCallister family is not known for their financial responsibility. Throughout Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Mandy (Emily Osment) has gotten special attention for her ability to run up a debt, but it runs in her genes, going all the way to the top and her father, Jim (Will Sasso). Naturally, then, when an opportunity comes up to make some real cash quickly and alleviate those woes, it’s awfully hard to pass up, even if it means doing something a little shady. Collider can exclusively share a new sneak peek at Season 2’s upcoming episode, “A Stuffed Monkey and an Ex-Girlfriend,” that sees her join forces with Meemaw (Annie Potts) for a scheme to get rich off of Mary Cooper’s (Zoe Perry) generosity.
The sneak peek begins at the park, where Mandy and Meemaw have taken CeeCee to play. However, a problem quickly arises when Mandy can’t find her daughter’s favorite stuffed monkey that Mary made specifically for her. That problem gets infinitely worse when Meemaw reveals she pawned Wawa off on “that broad over there.” Understandably, the fact that she’d even think about selling her great-granddaughter’s favorite toy makes Mandy furious, until Connie reveals how much the woman paid for it. Apparently, Wawa was mistaken for a valuable Beanie Baby and, as soon as Mandy realizes what that means, they hatch a plan to get Mary to make more monkeys. They come to the Cooper matriarch with a sob story about a charity for “very sick kids” that can’t afford to get stuffed animals, laying it on thick to convince Mary that it’s for a good cause when, in actuality, they just want to get filthy rich.
It’s not exactly Meemaw’s finest hour to sell CeeCee’s prized possession and manipulate her own daughter to line her pockets, but it’s nonetheless a happy occasion to see the fan-favorite grandmother back on the Young Sheldon spin-off. Potts hasn’t appeared on Georgie & Mandy since Season 1’s “Snitch v. Deadbeat,” fittingly another money-themed episode. The Ghostbusters star’s return has been much-anticipated, though, as she previously teased in an interview with TV Insider about her upcoming episode how Meemaw would once again be “up to no good,” and that “She can’t resist doing a little grift and trying to make a little money.” Even if embodying Connie isn’t something Potts has room for as often, she’ll always leave the channel open for something fun whenever she can fit it in.
“Meemaw’s always fun to visit, you know, I love her. I come in so seldom. I’m doing [Best Medicine] now, [but] they’re also very clever writers. I’m sure if they come up with something and I’m free, I’ll go and do it.”
The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.
You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.
You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.
You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.
You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.
Aside from Mandy and Meemaw’s scheme, tonight’s episode of Georgie & Mandy will also spotlight Connor (Dougie Baldwin), as he weighs revisiting an old relationship. How Georgie (Montana Jordan) fits into all of this remains to be seen, but he might be willing to give his brother-in-law some support and weigh in on his wife and grandmother’s monkey business. This isn’t the first and certainly won’t be the last time viewers see the Young Sheldon family reunite in Season 2. Perry will be back for Episode 18, which will also see Lance Barber’s George Cooper Sr. return from beyond the grave once more in what’s bound to be another emotional experience for Georgie. The season may be entering the home stretch, but there are still plenty more stories to tell before the hit sitcom moves on to Season 3.
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage Season 2, Episode 15 airs tonight at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Check out our exclusive sneak peek in the player above.
