Georgie And Mandy's First Marriage Might Be Doomed After Episode 18's Connor And Chloe Crisis

Contains spoilers for "Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage" Season 1, Episode 18 — "TV Money"

The McAllister household takes on one more boarder in "TV Money" — and that extra pressure on the domicile's limited space might just be what pushes Georgie (Montana Jordan) and Mandy (Emily Osment) out the door — or to divorce court.

"TV Money" sees Connor (Dougie Baldwin) quietly move his girlfriend Chloe (Kara Arena) into the McAllister's house after she tells him that her apartment's being fumigated. Soon, Connor, in a gesture that shows why he's a character fans of the show have a big problem with — says he's being suffocated by Chole's presence. He feels a lot of pressure to behave 'normally" around her, smothering his personal quirks to appear more outwardly bland. They end up fighting over the situation, which leads to the revelation that Chloe hasn't had a stable home in quite some time and was kicked out by her roommate. They reconcile, and Chloe stays.

But with Jim (Will Sasso) and Audrey (Rachel Bay Jones) now hosting not only Georgie, Mandy, and CeeCee but Connor and Chloe as well, something's going to have to give. Mandy's now making better money at the TV studio, so it might be her marriage to Georgie that caves as she develops a way out of poverty. She's long wanted a life of luxury in a bigger city, while Georgie is Texas-bred and dreams of owning a ranch. Will Mandy take the newly crowded conditions at her parents' place as an excuse to move the family — or at least herself — out? The conflict she has with her folks and Georgie in "TV Money" hints she might — and that her relationship with Georgie might be doomed as a result.

Mandy's financial irresponsibility once again rears its ugly head in "TV Money," resulting in Jim, Georgie, and Audrey accusing her of reckless spending. She responds by giving her dad rent money. It's a move that illustrates her shift toward financial individuality and general independence from her father's consistent spoiling — but it also hints at Mandy's growing dissatisfaction with her marriage and living situation.

The gesture also causes Mandy and Georgie to fight once again over how they spend money, and Mandy storms out. Her new cash flow gives her more leverage over her life as well as the option to live somewhere else — and her urge to do so might be inspired by her brother's quiet rebellion against their folks and how jam-packed the house will be if he and Chole decide to have kids, too.

This show of strength also hints that her staid and simple life in Texas continues to disappoint Mandy. If the entire Cooper family moves out of Jim and Audrey's place, will that kill their bond? Or, if they stay, will the pressure of an extra person hanging around the house make Mandy and Georgie fight more often? All in all, Connor and Chloe's romance seems to portend doom for Georgie and Mandy's possibly short-lived union. Three might be a crowd, but seven could be a disaster for everyone.
