Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage episode 5 was released on Thursday, November 14, 2024, at 8 pm EST on CBS. Titled Thanksgiving, the episode documents the changing family dynamics of both the Cooper and the McAllister families. The last time the viewers saw the Cooper's celebration of Thanksgiving was back in Young Sheldon when George Sr. was still alive.
The episode narrates how the untimely demise of the patriarch of the family has completely changed the notion of a family celebration for the rest of the members. At the beginning of the episode, Georgie maintains their family tradition of Thanksgiving, trying to fill his father's shoes. He asks Mandy to join the Coopers with CeeCee, to which she agrees.
However, all their plans take a twist when Mary is apathetic towards Georgie's invitation. Her unwillingness to attend Thanksgiving comes from her grief of losing her husband. She still is unable to accept the sudden death of her partner, especially when the Cooper family had shared core memories on this day, as seen in Young Sheldon.
