Ginny And Georgia Need Each Other
Ginny, Georgia, and Austin are in an awful state of mind. They don’t seem to know where to start and where to end. They have lost their way in the past few days. A lot has happened, and all they can do is sulk and let each day come as it is. Ginny is upset about the breakup and the way Gil physically harmed her mother. Georgia is in two minds about whether to go ahead with the wedding: thanks again to Gil. Austin, on the other hand, is shocked by the way he responded when Gil attacked Georgia. All three of them are trying too hard to trudge through such difficult times.
Max, Abby, Norah, Padma, Bracia, and Hunter came together as a support that Ginny required. Max and the gang hang out and talk in detail about heartbreak and why it happens. Max also mentions that Marcus goes through spells of depression, and this is also one of them. She asks Ginny not to worry much about him, as their parents will step in and put him back on medications soon. Ginny feels upset to know that Marcus is going through pain without her by his side. Ginny feels Marcus could have shared his experiences with her. She wants to be a listener and she knows listening most of the time helps. Marcus falls into alcoholism because of the breakup and his spells. Max helps him, too, and realizes both Ginny and Marcus care for one another. After seeing Ginny in constant pain after the breakup, Ginny’s father offers to help her get through some advanced classes in Boston so that she can get into the colleges of her choice.

The girl gang is trying to be there for Ginny in this hour of need. They keep her happy, sane, and laughing, and they answer all her questions with a cheeky sense of humor.
Georgia, on the other hand, is hatching a plan to leave town only to get rid of Gil and not her partner Paul. She knows Gil will cause a lot of trouble. She does not want Paul or his family to get dragged into matters because of her. Georgia feels responsible for unleashing Gil on the family, and she can’t seem to find a way to get rid of him this time around. The only solution she could come up with was to move to another city. This does not seem plausible because Ginny already has her life set here with her group of friends. Georgia loves Paul and is not sure if she will be able to stay away from him. Gil again threatens Georgia to reveal everything about her life so far to Paul. Georgia is confused for the first time about how she should react to such threats. She loves Paul, but if Paul is made aware of her past, she is worried he will leave her for good. Georgia is confused because she doesn’t want to leave Paul alone. Georgia has a daughter and a son to fall back on, but Paul is someone she cares about, and she cannot think of leaving him at any cost. She needs a level-headed solution for a problem as tricky as this.

Georgia is happy, but only she knows that the wedding has been called off. Georgia cannot believe she will have to move to another town soon because of the issues she can’t seem to find a solution for.

She cannot let her mother repeat this mistake. Georgia, on the other hand, comes back home furious to let Ginny know that Marcus is now aware of Kenny’s death. She cannot possibly imagine who must have told him when Georgia made it clear that she wanted this to be a secret between her and Ginny. Ginny does not deny revealing her secret. She, on the other hand, requests or rather begs her mother to give Paul another chance, maybe this time with some truth. Georgia knows she can’t tell Paul the truth while being in love with him, for he will break up with her, and she will again remain a spinster mother who lost the love of her life.

She also gives details of how long Gil ill-treated her. She also reveals why she started several credit cards in Austin and Ginny’s names. She finally tells him Gil is after Paul’s money, and he knows Paul’s parents are very rich. Paul is speechless at this point and decides to take a walk to digest all this information. Georgia is sure Paul would leave her after knowing the troublesome past she has led.
Georgia keeps waiting for a message or a call from Paul. When she finally receives a call, he asks her to meet him at his workplace. Georgia heads to see a lawyer, and the police are waiting for her and Gil. Gil is asked to back away from Paul and his family, which are Georgia, Ginny, and Austin. He can file for custody as he pleases, but if he resorts to blackmail, he will be thrown behind bars in no time. Gil vows to come back for more from Georgia to exact revenge. Paul sets his boundary and finally conveys that, despite everything she has been through, which proves that Georgia is a strong woman, he will go ahead with the wedding plans and intends to grow old with her.

Tom is Cynthia Fuller’s husband, and no one knows at this point who filed a complaint against Georgia. The family is stunned, and Austin runs after his mother, claiming he never told anyone. Ginny is shocked to know Austin saw something, and he never revealed anything to anyone to protect his family.
Final Thoughts
The last episode of the second season of “Ginny and Georgia” is the aftermath of a confusing second last episode. This episode did not end with any interesting cliffhangers. Just like any other comedy-drama, this season of “Ginny and Georgia” ends with an unnecessary dramatic twist that leaves more for the next season. This season’s biggest takeaway was the amount of time it dedicated to talking about mental health in kids, especially teenagers. It was amazing of the writers to give so much time to children’s mental health as most of the time kids are the ones who are watching shows like “Ginny and Georgia.” The rest of the season was plain mediocre and did not delve deeper into any character development. No actor was given any arc to perform on that basis. The last episode, “I’m No Cinderella,” is the epitome of how not to bring the story back to square one after the debacle of a previous episode.
