CBS has shared the official promotional stills for Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage season 2’s Christmas episode. Titled “Miami Beach and a Magical Family Christmas,” the outing will see the couple going on a trip for Christmas. The official synopsis for the offering confirms that Audrey arranges the trip that even includes Missy, as seen in the photos below. Check them out:
For context, the nerd-centric sitcom used to come up with Christmas-themed episodes every few years. Its last one was way back in 2017, with The Big Bang Theory season 10, episode 12, “The Holiday Summation.” When The Big Bang Theory ended in 2019, Young Sheldon didn’t continue the tradition, which is odd for a family that has a devout Christian mother. Now, however, CBS is reviving the custom via Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage‘s first one.
While the images shows the return of Zoe Perry as Mary in the episode, the character isn’t in any of the group vacation photos. This raises doubts about whether she would join Georgie, Mandy, and the McAllisters on their trip to Miami. This shouldn’t be a surprise, considering Mary’s ongoing conflict with Audrey, not to mention her increasingly exciting dating life. For what it’s worth, at least Missy is with the group, allowing her to spend the holiday with her brother.
Aside from that, this also confirms that Iain Armitage’s Sheldon won’t be back for the episode, even though the special occasion is the perfect opportunity to reunite the Coopers for the first time since George’s death in Young Sheldon. Unfortunately, it seems like Chuck Lorre and his writers are trying to maintain the separation between Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage and Sheldon, especially as the show works on having its own identity separate from arguably the face of The Big Bang Theory franchise.
