The latest episode of Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage turned a simple parenting disagreement into a public spectacle. Titled “Bitin’, Spankin’ and a Load of Yankee Psychobabble,” the show that aired on December 11, 2025, explores what happens when family arguments leave the living room and hit the airwaves. The conflict starts with toddler CeeCee developing a biting habit, but it quickly grows into a major clash between Mandy’s gentle methods and her mother Audrey’s stricter discipline. The situation escalates so far that the whole family ends up arguing live on a radio call-in show.
The Bite That Started a Family Feud
The episode’s trouble begins at a local park. CeeCee, the young daughter of Georgie and Mandy, bites another child. Mandy steps in with a calm approach. She gets down to CeeCee’s level, explains why biting is wrong, and encourages her to use words instead.
Audrey, Mandy’s mother, watches this and strongly disagrees. She believes Mandy’s method is too soft and will not stop the behavior. Audrey suggests a much more direct solution: that Mandy should bite CeeCee back to show her how it feels. Audrey says this is what she did when Mandy was a child and it worked.
The next morning, CeeCee bites Mandy during a tantrum. For Audrey, this is proof that Mandy’s parenting has failed. The tension between mother and daughter grows, setting the stage for a larger battle over who knows best when it comes to raising CeeCee.
A Disciplinary Line Crossed
Mandy tries another gentle tactic from a parenting book. She uses a toy to demonstrate to CeeCee how biting hurts. The plan backfires completely when CeeCee thinks it’s a fun game and bites the toy with joy.
The real crisis happens later that day. Audrey returns home early from the park with CeeCee and admits she dealt with another biting incident her own way.
Audrey tells Mandy she bit CeeCee after the toddler bit another child, repeating the discipline she used on Mandy years ago.
This action is the final straw for Mandy. Horrified that her mother would bite her child, she decides she cannot stay in the same house. Mandy packs her and CeeCee’s things and leaves to stay with Mary, Georgie’s mother. Mary is thrilled to have the company, while Audrey is left alone to manage CeeCee’s challenging behavior.
Parenting Debate at Mary’s House
The move to Mary’s house does not end the debate. Sitting at the kitchen table, the conversation turns to other forms of discipline. Georgie recalls being spanked as a child and argues he “turned out fine,” suggesting maybe a firmer hand is needed. Mandy firmly rejects this idea, sticking to her philosophy of not using physical punishment.
Mary gets a taste of toddler life when she babysits CeeCee. After asking politely for a toy block, Mary gets the block thrown at her face instead. The event leads Mary to gently encourage Georgie to set stronger boundaries, showing yet another generational viewpoint on raising children.
The Family Argument Goes Public
The conflict reaches its chaotic peak when Mandy, still upset, listens to a local radio talk show called “Family Spotlight.” On impulse, she calls in to the live broadcast. She tells the host and all the listeners about her mother’s controversial method of biting CeeCee as discipline.
Audrey hears her daughter on the radio. She immediately calls the station to defend her actions. What follows is a live, on-air family fight.
The radio host suddenly finds himself moderating a heated debate between a mother and daughter about parenting styles, with the whole town listening.
The family involvement does not stop there. Will, Mandy’s father, calls in. He reveals a family secret: he admits that he often lied to protect Mandy when she was young, claiming she had already been spanked when she had not. Mary also joins the call, offering her own opinions and turning the segment into a full family roundtable discussion.
The episode ends with Georgie listening to the radio show from his tire shop. He hears his wife being challenged by multiple family members on air. Georgie decides to call in himself, jumping into the public argument to defend Mandy and adding his voice to the already chaotic broadcast.
