Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage season 2 episode 5 sees Georgie’s jealousy, Audrey’s concern, & Mandy’s rage

Episode 5, "A Pregnancy Test and an Old Man's Gallbladder," aired November 13, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. It spotlights Georgie's jealousy over Mandy's job.

Mandy pitches her boss for a meteor shower report. It's an overnight field trip. She reveals the producer is Scott, her college ex. They dated messily, cheating on others. Mandy downplays it,, saying it's only focused on work and nothing will ever happen. However Georgie is not happy with this and doesn't want Mandy to go but Mandy is determined that she will go to this work trip.

At the shop, Ruben warns Scott sounds shady. Georgie heads to the station. He finds Scott in his office. "This trip with my wife? You get why that bothers me," Georgie says. Scott, played by Christopher Gorham, nods. He recalls their bad history but says it's ancient.

To smooth things out, Scott offers to make other arrangements but Georgie sees that Scott is not as a bad guy as he thought he was. Hence he was okay with Mandy going to this trip. Although when Scott offered "we should all go out someday", Georgie sternly declined.

Mandy hears about the visit from station gossip. She's upset Georgie showed up at her job. She pulls Scott aside. "Sorry about my husband barging in," she says. Scott apologizes too, for their rough breakup years back. They laugh it off, but it stings her. When she comes back home, she finds Jim and Georgie watching TV. 

She argues with Georgie about visiting her workplace to talk with her boss, Scott. However, Georgie says he wanted a man-to-man talk, and now everything is okay. Mandy fumes in anger as by saying, “So now what, I have your permission to go?” saying this she storms inside the house.

The trip goes ahead with a new producer. No meteors appear. Mandy recites facts to a yawning crew in the dark Texas woods. It's a flop, but she stays pro.

Back home, the McAllisters face a scare. Audrey spots a pregnancy test in Connor's trash. However, she doesn't know what one line” on the strip means. So she panics and goes to Connor to ask about it.  Connor yells about privacy and asks Audrey to stay out of his personal matters. Jim brings a new pregnancy kit with instructions that state one line means “Negative”. Although the McAllisters are relieved, Audrey asks Jim to talk to Connor. 

At the end of the episode, we see Connor admit that his girlfriend Chloe took the pregnancy test. He said at first she was relieved that she wasn’t pregnant, but still she got freaked out at the thought of having a baby with Connor. This broke Connor's heart. Jim hugs him, and a quiet father-son moment amid the noise is witnessed.
