00:00 "Do you think I'm not all in? But I am."
00:01 "Okay. I'm in too."
00:05 Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:07 And today, we're counting down our picks for those moments that made young Sheldons,
00:11 Georgie and Mandy the couple to watch.
00:13 If you're not up to date on the series, there may be spoilers ahead.
00:17 "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
00:21 Number 10. Mandy moves into the garage.
00:27 After Mandy's parents kick her out and she moves into her own apartment,
00:30 Georgie tries his hardest to support her.
00:32 "I can buy my own groceries."
00:34 "I know, but you're eating for two. I thought I should help out."
00:37 "Three kinds of pickles?"
00:41 "Everybody knows pregnant ladies like those."
00:43 Only, she's still understandably mad at him for lying about his age,
00:47 and is reluctant to accept his help.
00:50 However, when she falls on hard times, guess who she turns to?
00:53 Georgie shows no judgment whatsoever and immediately jumps into action to help
00:57 retrieve her belongings.
00:59 "So, you think getting a toothbrush gonna change that?"
01:03 "Couldn't hurt. So, what do you say? Can I go?"
01:08 "Yeah."
01:10 "Thank you, sir. Good night, sir. Sorry to bother you, sir."
01:12 Considering it almost costs him his life, it really shows how devoted he is to being there
01:17 for her. Even though living in a garage isn't ideal for an expecting mother, Georgie tries
01:22 his hardest to be accommodating.
01:24 "That's how screwed up my life is right now. You're the best part of it."
01:27 "Thank you. I'm really trying."
01:31 "I know you are."
01:34 "It's gonna be okay."
01:36 "Is it?"
01:39 When that doesn't work, he figures out a plan B.
01:42 Number 9. When Georgie met Mandy
01:46 Taking things back to the very beginning, Georgie and Mandy's meet-cute takes place
01:49 at a laundromat. You know, girls' quarters, get stuck in the washing machines, coins shoot,
01:54 boy shows her the trick to make it work. Classic romance stuff.
01:57 "I'm Georgie."
01:58 "Mandy. And now that we're on a first-name basis, I'm gonna throw my underwear in here."
02:02 "And since I'm a gentleman, I ain't gonna look."
02:05 Anyway, the two quickly hit it off and go on a date. It would be super sweet if both
02:09 weren't harboring pretty substantial secrets.
02:12 "How old are you?"
02:13 "25."
02:14 "21."
02:15 "I was worried you were gonna say 19."
02:17 "Oh, no. I promise I'm not 19."
02:19 Connie even catches Georgie skiving off work and drinking, but doesn't rat him out.
02:24 Anyway, later on, just before things get hot and heavy, Mandy reveals her truth.
02:29 As for Georgie, well, we wanted to grab him by the shoulders and shake some sense into him.
02:34 "I'm actually 29."
02:36 "No kidding."
02:39 "Yeah."
02:41 "Well, then I guess there's something I should tell you. I'm totally fine with that."
02:48 Number 8. Mandy wants to kickstart her career.
02:52 Before Mandy moved back to Medford, she was a weather girl in San Antonio.
02:56 "You gotta look forward, but point backward while reading the script.
03:00 All with sunshine in your voice."
03:02 "I could actually hear the sunshine in your voice."
03:04 "Thanks."
03:05 "And now back to Cece in the nursery with screaming."
03:10 So when a job opens up at a local station, she decides to apply.
03:14 Now, this is the 90s, so working mothers weren't exactly unheard of.
03:18 Only Georgie has other ideas about a mother's role.
03:21 "Okay, so you just get to have a job and a life and I have to stay home with the baby."
03:25 "Or I have to have a job and you get to stay home with the baby. It's all about perspective."
03:31 Still, whether he likes it or not, he learns that parenthood is a 50/50 responsibility.
03:36 So when Mandy has second thoughts about becoming a career mom,
03:39 Georgie convinces her to follow her dreams.
03:42 "I think you should give it a shot."
03:43 "Really?"
03:45 "Well, you're all excited about it. And if you get the job, you can still say no."
03:49 "Yeah, that's a good point."
03:52 Yes, being a working parent can be hard,
03:54 but having a supportive partner can help lighten the load.
03:57 Even so, there's still some stuff a father can't help with.
04:00 Well, not yet anyway.
04:02 "Well, then that could bring rain to, uh, to this whole area here.
04:05 So for Channel 7 Weather, I'm Mandy McAllister. Good night."
04:13 Number 7. Georgie ups his responsibility game.
04:16 Georgie and Mandy's relationship got off to a rocky start,
04:19 so Georgie has to do the most to prove that he can be a reliable and responsible partner.
04:24 One way he does that is by trading in his Mustang for a more family-friendly vehicle.
04:29 "I can't believe you did this."
04:30 "There's a no-brainer. I want to keep her kids safe."
04:34 "Thank you."
04:36 Mandy's also thrilled to discover Georgie's secret job,
04:39 which may one day pay for her kids' private education.
04:43 However, perhaps what impresses her the most is how Georgie looks out for Sheldon.
04:47 "Hey."
04:48 "Hey."
04:49 "What are you doing?"
04:50 "I'm on Lake Patrol."
04:52 "What?"
04:52 "I'm babysitting, and it's the only way I can get my brother to eat."
04:56 It seems to be the final piece of the puzzle that convinces her he'll be a great co-parent.
05:01 "Status report?"
05:02 "Dry as a bone."
05:04 "So I have time for a second slice?"
05:05 "Go nuts."
05:06 "Copy."
05:07 "Our kid's weird. I'm ready."
05:11 As she sneaks out the next morning,
05:13 we can't help but believe she's also starting to see him as something more.
05:17 Number 6. Locking Cece in the car.
05:21 If you've recently become a parent,
05:22 you might find Georgie and Mandy's first few days of parenthood highly relatable.
05:27 "Okay, you're such an expert, why don't you try?"
05:29 "I was a baby more recently than you were."
05:33 "It's okay, Cece. Daddy's here."
05:36 "Good job."
05:40 "Well, I just met her yesterday. Give me a minute."
05:42 Chuck in a rejected marriage proposal, and you're in for some drama.
05:46 So tired, irritable, and in the middle of yet another argument,
05:49 Mandy accidentally locks her daughter in the car.
05:52 "Hey, baby. This is normal. We're all okay."
05:56 "What? We're gonna get you out!"
05:58 "How are we gonna get her out?"
05:59 "I don't know!"
06:00 There's nothing like an urgent crisis to make parents drop their odds and start working as a team.
06:05 According to Mandy actress Emily Osment,
06:07 this is one of her favorite Georgie and Mandy moments.
06:10 She also revealed a more personal connection to the storyline.
06:13 "And I told them about us locking the baby in the car, and
06:16 wow, they did that too, apparently. I got locked in the car a couple times. So, very relatable."
06:21 We're sure they're not the only ones who've done it either.
06:24 Well, at least Mandy and Georgie are in good company.
06:27 "You're such a brave little girl. Ha ha!"
06:29 "Good news is, she ain't gonna remember any of this."
06:32 "And we don't have to tell a soul."
06:33 "Pinky swear?"
06:35 "Done."
06:36 Number 5. Finding the key to a happy marriage.
06:40 Georgie and Mandy hit a rough patch when Mandy's mom starts meddling in their parenting,
06:44 and Georgie doesn't have Mandy's back.
06:46 Then, when he tries to step up,
06:48 Mandy's dad pulls him aside and gives him some advice on how to keep everyone happy.
06:53 "I was just trying to be a good husband and take Mandy's side."
06:56 "Okay, you know what a great time to take Mandy's side? When you're alone with Mandy.
06:59 And when you're with Audrey..."
07:00 "Take Audrey's side."
07:04 "Okay. There's hope for you."
07:06 It works at first, but Mandy eventually catches on.
07:09 "I love your cooking."
07:10 "My mom made this."
07:13 "Oh. Well, now that you mention it, it is a little dry."
07:18 "I made it."
07:19 She points out that her parents aren't exactly the poster couple for marriage.
07:23 Georgie and Mandy realize they have to make their own rules to make their relationship work for them.
07:28 "Georgie can talk, okay? That's how our marriage works."
07:32 "Excuse me, are you implying my husband isn't allowed to speak his mind?"
07:36 "Well, if we're gonna put cards on the table."
07:38 It all ends with Mandy and her mom at each other's throats.
07:42 Still, the couple learn that the key to a happy marriage is good communication.
07:46 Go figure.
07:46 "I want us to be better than that."
07:48 "I agree."
07:49 "Oh, cut it out."
07:51 "No, I meant that one."
07:52 Number four.
07:53 Mandy meets the Coopers.
07:55 Telling the, ahem, young man you hooked up with that you're pregnant must be a daunting task.
08:00 "Sometimes these things ain't accurate. Maybe take another one."
08:02 "Here you go."
08:05 "Two is convincing, but three."
08:08 "I'm pregnant, Georgie."
08:09 Meeting his family, including his God-fearing Baptist mother,
08:13 must be a whole other level of terrifying.
08:15 Luckily, the Coopers are very welcoming to Mandy,
08:18 and at first, it's actually Georgie who makes things a tad uncomfortable.
08:21 "Hope brisket's okay. Georgie wasn't too sure what kind of food you liked."
08:26 "We didn't do a lot of eating when we were together."
08:28 However, once the topic of religion comes up,
08:31 the Coopers lay a lot more on the table than just Mary's brisket.
08:35 Meeting the family can already be super awkward,
08:37 but getting caught in their marital drama?
08:39 Yikes.
08:41 Mandy might regret saying yes to this dinner, but we certainly don't.
08:44 It turns out to be quite the comedy.
08:46 "No marriage is a bed of roses."
08:48 "Well, then I guess we nailed it."
08:49 "I guess we did. And that kid is gonna be Baptist."
08:52 "So, Mandy, glad you came?"
08:58 Number three, tying the knot.
09:00 As we've seen, both Georgie and Mandy's mothers can be seriously overbearing,
09:04 but baptizing their granddaughter behind her parents' backs?
09:07 That's the final straw.
09:09 It sends the couple straight down to City Hall to get married,
09:12 putting an end to any more parental interference.
09:15 "We're getting married."
09:16 "Shh. What about your parents?
09:18 You're the one that said there had to be consequences."
09:20 "So, we're really not gonna invite our folks?"
09:22 "Is that okay?"
09:24 "I guess the only person I need there is you."
09:27 Luckily, the families make it to the venue in time to see them tie the knot.
09:30 It might not be the big, white wedding everyone dreamed of, but it is incredibly sweet.
09:35 "By the power vested in me by the great state of Texas,
09:38 I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
09:42 They then continue the celebrations at the Gulf Coast Railway.
09:47 As the newlyweds drive to Dollywood, a wedding/honeymoon present from the McAllisters,
09:52 they start discussing their future.
09:54 "Are you gonna take my name?"
09:56 "Is it important to you?"
09:57 "I don't know. I'd kinda like people to know we're a family.
10:01 You know, the Coopers. Georgie and Mandy Cooper. I'd go do a barbecue at their house."
10:06 With practical matters sorted, the wedding night begins early.
10:09 Number 2. The Spa Trip
10:12 When Mandy invites Georgie to a spa getaway, he agrees, but feels a bit uneasy.
10:17 At first, he's not sure why, but eventually it hits him.
10:20 He's uncomfortable about where they stand in their relationship.
10:24 "I thought this is what you wanted, us together."
10:26 "I did."
10:27 "You did? What changed?"
10:31 "It's just different now."
10:33 "What's different about it?"
10:36 Massages usually help release tension, but for Georgie and Mandy, it's like pouring fuel on a fire.
10:41 Instead of calming things down, it stirs them up until it boils over.
10:45 "We're getting along. We're a good team with Cece. Maybe I don't want to risk that on a maybe."
10:50 "Okay, if you don't want to try, why did you even come here?"
10:53 "Well, I didn't want to say no and make things weird."
10:55 "Oh, well, you nailed it."
10:57 As they're driving back, it dawns on Mandy that she values Georgie too much to let him slick away.
11:02 So while their spa trip may have felt like a bust,
11:04 it turned out to be just what they needed to grow closer.
11:07 "So we're really doing this?"
11:08 "Yeah."
11:10 "What are you doing?"
11:16 "I ain't waiting to get home to kiss you."
11:20 Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
11:24 Georgie leaves his date for Mandy. Mandy might not want to face her feelings,
11:28 but she's sure happy when Georgie comes home to be with her and Cece.
11:31 "I just want her to be here."
11:33 "Really?"
11:35 "Yeah."
11:37 "That's what we wanted too."
11:42 Moving in with the McAllisters, even Audrey can't totally resist Georgie's charm.
11:47 "Pretty impressive kid, huh?"
11:49 "We'll see."
11:50 "We'll see?"
11:52 "Good job."
11:54 "Told you."
11:55 Georgie writes Mandy a romantic letter. Its contents may be questionable, but it seems to work.
12:01 "Where you going?"
12:02 "I'm gonna go take a shower. Maybe I'll leave the door unlocked."
12:06 "All right."

12:26 Number 1. Becoming Parents
12:28 As Mandy's due date approaches, she and Georgie rush to finalize preparations before their new
12:33 arrival. "Hey, you make a whole human being in your belly, I get the crib and car seat,
12:38 we'll call it even." "It's not even close to even."
12:41 But of course, life loves to throw curveballs. Mandy goes into labor while Georgie's out running
12:46 errands. Without cell phones handy, hey, it's the 90s, she's left with Sheldon for company.
12:52 Meanwhile, Georgie wrestles with a stubborn car seat and freaks out over impending fatherhood.
12:57 In an unexpected turn of events, Sheldon comes to the rescue once again,
13:01 in the most Sheldon way possible, of course. "I think I almost missed it.
13:05 I would have regretted that for the rest of my life."
13:08 "Why are we turning around?"
13:15 Fortunately, Georgie arrives just in time to support Mandy through labor.
13:19 Sure, their relationship would have its ups and downs, but we could already see the makings of
13:23 a sweet little family. "She's tiny and perfect. And Mandy's doing great."
13:28 "Oh, what's her name?" "Constance."
13:36 What are you hoping to see in Georgie and Mandy's first marriage? Let us know in the comments.
13:41 "So we're really doing this?" "Yeah."
