Synopsis: George ( Lance Barber ) is asked to help Wayne Wilkins ( Doc Farrow ) with the football team after Wilkins' wife cheats on him. Mandy ( Emily Osment ) starts to see Georgie ( Montana Jordan ) in a different light after he buys an "ugly" but baby-friendly car, and she learns about the secret business he runs with Connie ( Annie Potts ). My Thoughts: Who was this "best friend" Wayne was referring to? I honestly always thought his best friend was George, considering it always seemed to be George and Tom Peterson ( Rex Linn ) with him whenever he went out to the bar. Is it another teacher at the school? I kind of want to know. I'm undecided about Mandy's change in attitude toward Georgie. It's not as though he hasn't been going out of his way to prove he's a good guy yet, suddenly, she seems to be falling in love with him because he bought a car and because he's running an illegal gambling operation. I'm now wondering if mayb...

Synopsis: When Missy ( Raegan Revord ) figures out the family secret, Mary ( Zoe Perry ) swears her and Sheldon ( Iain Armitage ) to secrecy about Georgie ( Montana Jordan ) and Mandy ( Emily Osment ) expecting a baby. However, keeping the secret proves to be a lot harder than expected. My Thoughts -  I think I owe Mary an apology. At first, I thought she seemed awfully selfish when she was insisting on Georgie and Mandy getting married. However, this episode proved it was more than just her worried about the embarrassment. Her Bible-study group was quick to abandon her when they learned the news and Pastor Jeff ( Matt Hobby ) doesn't appear to be on her side either. As she predicted, her family is being turned into pariahs. I wonder if this will be the straw that ends George's ( Lance Barber ) coaching career. The boosters were already actively trying to replace him and given their church's reaction to the news, I have to think this would be yet another reason to justify...

Synopsis: Meemaw's ( Annie Potts ) financial success puts a strain on her relationship with Dale ( Craig T. Nelson ). Believing he will soon lose his coaching job, George ( Lance Barber ) takes a job at Dale's store while Sheldon ( Iain Armitage ) dabbles in the stock market and Missy ( Raegan Revord ) starts her own business. My Thoughts: I absolutely loved the introduction with Sheldon ( Jim Parsons ) and Amy ( Mayim Bialik ) discussing relationships and ultimately getting into a fight over comic books and whether they are considered a sound financial investment. It made me a bit sad The Big Bang Theory is no longer on the air (other than in reruns). This episode seems to be closing a TBBT plot hole regarding George. During TBBT's run, Sheldon mentioned his dad was caught stealing money from the till. This was something that didn't make a whole lot of sense when George was a football coach but, thanks to his potential career change, is starting to become a whole lot...
