Georgie And Mandy's First Marriage Episode 8 Features A Familiar Young Sheldon Character
Contains spoilers for "Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage" Season 1, Episode 8 — "Diet Crap"
Even though they're content together (and the show has already ruled out two reasons for their incipient divorce), the course of true love does not run smoothly for Georgie (Montana Jordan) and Mandy Cooper (Emily Osment) in "Diet Crap." They get into a huge fight when Georgie starts to intervene in Mandy's exhausting, scam-based new door-to-door salesperson job. He even manages to make a sale right in front of her, causing her to feel inferior at his breadwinning ways. She is steamed enough to bewilder him into getting outside advice, which comes courtesy of a surprisingly familiar face from "Young Sheldon."
While shopping for an advice book to help him understand why his wife's so upset, Georgie runs into Ms. Sheryl Hutchins (Sarah Baker of "The Kominsky Method"), the librarian from the high school he attended with his brother, Sheldon (Iain Armitage). Georgie is amazed that she has a life and job outside of the school, and gets a strong blast of sarcasm in return. She's caustic about his marriage to Mandy, and gives him the famous 1990s relationship manual "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus." That's a typical gesture from someone like Ms. Hutchins, whose long search for love became a running storyline on "Young Sheldon."
Ms. Hutchins was lovelorn
Back in the days of "Young Sheldon," Sheldon often bumped into Ms. Hutchins, a familiar, if lovelorn, face around town. Sheldon first meets her in Season 1, Episode 2, "Rockets, Communists, and the Dewey Decimal System," and encounters her regularly as he searches for advice during his quest to find a friend. While he's trying to figure out religion, Ms. Hutchins confesses to Sheldon that she's Mormon, and her quest for a husband is a perpetual search for someone to share a planet with in the afterlife — otherwise, she decides that she might contentedly go to a planet filled with her cats.
The Cooper family even ends up hosting Ms. Hutchins in their home during Season 3's "A Couple Bruised Ribs and a Cereal Box Ghost Detector," after she's injured by an errant tackle during a Medford High School football game. While she recovers, they try to keep her safe and feed her flock of cats.
Love does find her in "A Box of Treasure and the Meemaw of Science," when she falls for Mr. Givens (Brian Stepanek). Georgie accidentally stumbles on them using Mr. Givens' classroom for a tryst, while Georgie is there to sneak a look at the answers to an upcoming test. Since "Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage" has never been shy about bringing back old faces from "Young Sheldon" for guest spots, perhaps we'll see her again sometime in he future.
