4.5<\/p>\n

That Mother\u2019s Day brunch went about as well as expected.<\/p>\n

Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage<\/a> Season 1 Episode 20 was the comedy\u2019s penultimate episode of its freshman season, and it was all about trying to make Mother\u2019s Day nice when two of the mothers were Audrey and Mary.<\/p>\n

Audrey was more obnoxious this time, undoing all the progress she\u2019d made toward becoming a tolerable character.<\/p>\n

\"Everyone\"Everyone

Mother\u2019s Day Didn\u2019t Have To Be A Competition, But Of Course It Was<\/h2>\n

I wish Mary and Audrey could realize they\u2019re not in competition \u2014 there\u2019s enough love, time with baby CeeCee, and attention from their children for both of them.<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be an interesting brunch if everyone got along, though, and these two will never stop thinking the other one is trying to replace them. <\/p>\n

Audrey grated on my last nerve with her constant attempts to make herself the center of attention and complaints that nobody was letting her talk to Chloe.<\/p>\n

I strongly dislike the use of the word \u201cnormal,\u201d because it implies that some ways of being that don\u2019t hurt anyone are somehow abnormal or inappropriate.<\/p>\n

However, I can\u2019t blame Mary for using it.<\/p>\n

Audrey was acting like a slighted teenager, not an adult who has two grown children and a granddaughter.<\/p>\n

\"Mandy\"Mandy

I Wish This Mother\u2019s Day Feud Wasn\u2019t So Relatable, But Sadly, It\u2019s More Realistic Than Happy Families<\/h2>\n

One of my grandmothers was a lot like Audrey. <\/p>\n

She was insecure and could be self-centered, and she was always looking for proof that people liked the other grandmother better.<\/p>\n

\n

Love this show? We do too \u2014 and we want to keep writing about it.
<\/strong>Your comment or share can help make sure we get to. That\u2019s the magic of supporting indie media.<\/p>\n

\n

That\u2019s part of why Audrey gets on my last nerve so often.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t stand when she acts in that same self-centered, immature manner. A lot of her behavior toward Mary is beyond petty, and it irritates me no end.<\/p>\n

\"Mary\"Mary

Considering how often the feuding mother-in-law trope is used on TV, I\u2019d guess there are a lot more families like mine \u2014 and like the McAllisters \u2014 than we\u2019d care to admit.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t make Audrey any less wrong for her behavior, yet it\u2019s relatable.<\/p>\n

I Wish Mary Had Forced Missy To Come To Mother\u2019s Day Brunch<\/h2>\n

It didn\u2019t make much sense to leave Missy home alone when she was grounded for some mysterious misbehavior that happened after her Mexican misadventure.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s asking for trouble.<\/p>\n

Besides, Missy being forced to sit at that table while Audrey made snarky comments about her to her face would have been comedy gold.<\/p>\n

Sadly, we didn\u2019t get that. The only scene with Missy was the one on the phone, though it was hilarious that in a time when cell phones hadn\u2019t been invented yet, Mary was having the same conversation about how she told Missy \u201cno phone\u201d that my sister has with grounded teenagers about their cell phones.<\/p>\n

Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage Season 1 Episode 20 Had A Decent Connor Plot, But Please Tell Me No One Really Scared Chloe Away<\/h2>\n

One of his best plots was the subplot about Connor not wanting his mother to embarrass him in front of Chloe.<\/p>\n

It was something that was relatable, whether or not you\u2019re neurodivergent<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Chloe: How long have you been playing the bagpipes?<\/p>\n

Connor: I\u2019m not sure I do play them, to be honest.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Chloe and Connor get along so well.<\/p>\n

She completely accepts all of his idiosyncrasies and is patient when he freaks out, while he does his best to make her feel loved and valued.<\/p>\n

\"Georgie\"Georgie
(Sonja Flemming\/CBS)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I really hope Mandy\u2019s comment about how the family scared Chloe away was just a joke.<\/p>\n

Connor has finally found the perfect woman for him, and it would be terrible if Audrey and Mary\u2019s misbehavior were so frightening to her that she decided dating Connor wasn\u2019t worth it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d guess it won\u2019t go that way.<\/p>\n

Chloe seems to like Connor, and you don\u2019t have to love someone\u2019s family to love them.<\/p>\n

Audrey can\u2019t stand Georgie, or at least she couldn\u2019t at first, but Mandy stood her ground, proving that it\u2019s possible to stand up to disapproving parents to be with the person you want to be with.<\/p>\n

I do wish that Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage Season 1 Episode 20, had explored more of the specific ways events like Mother\u2019s Day make Connor uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

My sensory issues include not being able to stand things close to my neck. Turtleneck sweaters and ties are out. <\/p>\n

If I have to wear something like that, I end up being miserable the whole time and feel this need to escape so I can take the damn sweater or tie off.<\/p>\n

I would have loved for Connor to have an issue like that. <\/p>\n

On a selfish level, I would have felt so visible,\u00a0but there are probably other autistic and neurodivergent people who have similar issues, so a story like that could have helped a lot of people.<\/p>\n
