Georgie is often characterized by his business hustle, but this episode focuses on his emotional maturity.

Mandy isn't mad about the chips; she is scared that their marriage is becoming a series of small lies.

The episode centers on Mandy (Emily Osment) attempting to gain financial independence by joining a multi-level marketing scheme—selling wellness products, which her mother Audrey (Rachel Bay Jones) dismissively calls "diet crap".
