Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage season 2 finale: Mary … and Fred?

We had a feeling that Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage season 2 would end with some sort of twist, but who expected Fred Fagenbacher to be front and center?

Well, let’s just start by laying some of the groundwork here for what it is we actually saw. Georgie’s mother Mary has grown closer to his chief business rival, and who expected that there could be something romantic here? It almost feels crazy and yet, it is the sort of thing that makes you wonder if you are right to have a pit in your stomach. Georgie certainly does, which is why he was so upset upon learning about it.

Speaking to TVLine about the big finale twist, co-showrunner Steve Holland noted that Georgie questioning the relationship makes sense:

I think Georgie is right to be suspicious. Because even if Fred is going into this because he does want to change, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s going to stick. Change is hard. Most people don’t end up changing. Most people default back to their base nature. I don’t know what’s going to happen — we haven’t started breaking next season yet — but I think Georgie is right to be suspicious, and I think Mary is right to believe that she has to be there for someone who wants to [change]. These are the best arguments we can come up with [in a scenario] where, actually, both sides have a really strong leg to stand on.

Mary does have a set of convictions that she will not want to abandon and given that it has been some time since George’s death, she does have a right to consider the future. Our major question here is just how much Georgie’s frustration could bleed over to his own relationship, especially since the title itself indicates that it will eventually fall apart.
