Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage: A Thanksgiving Feast of Familiar Faces!

Get ready for a heartwarming (and maybe a little bit heartbreaking!) Thanksgiving special! Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, the Young Sheldon spin-off, is serving up a holiday episode packed with familiar faces from the Big Bang Theory universe. This new spin-off focuses on Montana Jordan (Georgie Cooper) and Emily Osment (Mandy McAllister) and their journey as new parents of baby Cece. This really builds the storyline and introduces audiences into a world very familiar to long-term fans.

The show premiered on October 17th, and has already dealt with intense moments between parents and even introducing baby Cece's first words, introducing this brand new generation for audiences to both grow fond of and learn about. TVLine has given us a sneak peek at "Thanksgiving" (episode 5, airing November 14th). Those pictures? Show major character reunions! The pictures are important; let's discuss what these images show!

The first image is pure cuteness overload: Georgie reunites with his younger sister Missy (Raegan Revord) all dressed up for the big day, creating an enjoyable moment which contrasts from the later portions shown in those pictures released and emphasizing an inherent family-centric theme that runs through the entirety of this entire show’s narrative. That second picture shows some of those more senior family members: Meemaw (Annie Potts) and Dale (Craig T. Nelson), who's sharing some lovely holiday love with baby Cece at the door; showing those important emotional connections between family members in ways which may be found easily by everyone, from any kind of family history; whether similar to that presented here or not!

But there are some notable absences in the photos; showing that the Coopers may be feeling some gaps. Both Mary Cooper (Zoe Perry) and Sheldon (Iain Armitage) are not shown; these are extremely key characters which have also appeared in multiple installments of both shows. We discuss this here further down!

Why Sheldon and Mary Are Missing (and What It Means!)

Sheldon's absence makes total sense. He just left for Caltech in the recent Young Sheldon finale; this aspect has been well-established already and it sets up the entire spinoff well. Now the writers present the difficult position that Mary finds herself in: the impact of recent, significant family events. The first Thanksgiving after the passing of George is extremely critical. The absence of Mary in the photo may simply add to this narrative mystery or emphasize the key tension this event will trigger in future moments; thus leaving more unanswered questions concerning how Mary and her sons' behaviors could change and the consequences resulting.
