By the sixth episode, Mandy had seamlessly integrated into her diner shifts, whereas Georgie found himself at a loose end whenever he had downtime. Audrey showed no inclination to spend any additional time with him, and Jim, who had recently been hustled in a game of Gin Rummy, wasn't far behind in echoing her sentiment. When Georgie couldn't lull Cece to sleep, he took her to the diner, but Mandy made it abundantly clear that it was too hectic for any extra company.
Upon returning home, the duo had only a limited window of time to themselves, which was abruptly interrupted by Georgie's pager. A female churchgoer, not just attractive but whose appearance would hold significance later, had a flat tire by the roadside, and the police had called Georgie as a tip-off. While towing her car back to the garage, she openly professed her unwavering devotion to God. Georgie, though skeptical—mentioning that his mom was a believer—couldn't ignore the woman's assertion that her wealth and luxurious car were fruits of her faith.
In fact, she was so convinced by her beliefs that she invited Georgie to attend a service on Sunday. She eagerly told him that financial abundance awaited him there, and his eyes lit up with anticipation. When he returned home, Mandy and Audrey were unconvinced, while Jim encouraged him to seize the opportunity.
The congregation greeted Georgie with a series of hugs upon his arrival, making him feel a part of their close-knit community. He reunited with the woman he had rescued, who introduced him to their reverend. She recounted the previous night's events, and the reverend hinted that "abundance" awaited those who attended their services.
When Georgie returned home, he bore good news—he had secured an exclusive deal with the church to service all their vehicles at a price significantly higher than their usual rate. While Jim was thrilled and offered to increase Georgie's wages, Audrey couldn't fathom how he had "swindled" a reverend. Georgie clarified that he had offered the church a 10% discount, which they had eagerly accepted with delight.
However, a shift occurs in Georgie's perspective when he starts to convince himself that his stroke of good fortune is intricately tied to his involvement with the church. He confides in Mandy his desire to rejoin their upcoming bible study group, primarily with the underlying motive of exploring further opportunities to peddle his wares. Mandy lambasts him for echoing Mary's sentiments too closely, sparking a heated argument between them. Seeking counsel, Mandy turns to Audrey, who philosophizes that all offspring inevitably mirror their parents' traits. While Audrey takes pride in Mandy's upbringing, she harbors concerns that Georgie might tread the same Baptist path as Mary. Her guidance to Mandy is to inform Georgie that his return would evoke discomfort; instead, Mandy, motivated by a desire to defy Audrey, assures Georgie of her unwavering support for whatever path he chooses.
During the bible study session, Georgie remains eerily silent, barely uttering a word. When prompted to speak, he distributes business cards promising discounts at the tire shop. As the study concludes, the woman he had previously rescued insists that her flat tire was no mere happenstance, convinced that Georgie's presence at the church was divinely orchestrated. In a stunning display, she plants a kiss on Georgie, only to be promptly rejected by his firm push. He clarifies his marital status and emphasizes his disinterest. Mandy arrives on the scene just in time to witness this exchange and, without hesitation, punches the woman in the face before whisking Georgie away. He inquiries if Mandy witnessed his refusal, to which she replies that it was solely due to his rejection that Georgie remained unscathed.
