[6] Free spirited Georgia Miller arrives to Wellsbury, Massachusetts with her teenage daughter Ginny and 9-year-old son Austin after her husband dies.

In the meantime, Austin brings his incarcerated father's letters for his Star of the Week project at school, saying his dad is a wizard in Azkaban.

It is revealed that Georgia writes Austin letters, pretending she's his father, but she's also seen using her son's security number to request a new credit card.

Georgia accepts to have Ginny participate in Sophomore sleepover and offers Ellen to chaperone with her when she sees the money for the tickets, but she can't find a babysitter for Austin; however, Paul agrees to babysit him.

Ginny starts her new job at Blue Farm and Max, who got the lead in the musical, crushes on Riley, a fellow theater kid.

Excited about the Sleepover, Ginny and her friends text about it; it is revealed Abby actually has body image issues and tapes her legs to make them look thinner.

In English class, Ginny chooses to discuss Lydia Bennett from Pride and Prejudice, but she feels personally attacked when Hunter doesn't agree and shames the character.

Ginny is finally popular and well-adjusted in school after Hunter's song goes viral, deciding for a group Halloween costume with her friends and helping Max out with Sophie, inviting her to their party.

While at work, Ginny overhears Padma saying Marcus doesn't want to be in a relationship with her and she proposes MANG go to the party dressed as Britney Spears.

At the Halloween Fair, Paul talks about his innovative plans for Wellsbury if he's re-elected, but Cynthia reveals she saw him out with Georgia and announces her candidacy for mayor.

Gabriel gets a phone call about medical tests that showed Georgia's husband to be in excellent health shortly before his death.

Georgia tells Ginny about how her stepfather abused her, causing her to run away from home, and later adds that she hasn't gotten her inheritance and is broke.

Zion takes Ginny to an open mic poetry night in Boston, where he promises he's going to settle down and stay around to be close to her.

The girls rush to comfort Max, but Ginny visits Marcus again and asks him to forgive her, scared he's mad because he didn't text her back: Marcus tells he lost his phone in the accident and they embraced, but they are discovered by Abby, who begs Ginny to stop and not to tell Max, for it would break the friend group apart.

Georgia calls Zion and the two agree that the kids will come home for "Friyay", a tradition of frying various foods the day after Thanksgiving that they invented when Ginny was young.

She confides in Zion about her self harm and asks if she can keep living with him, which he agrees to on the condition that he tells Georgia about it and Ginny goes to therapy.

Paul and Georgia clash about parenting techniques when he finds out Marcus snuck in and that she doesn't want Austin to go to counseling.

Cynthia stays at Blue Farm all day, not wanting to see Tom because he's forgotten her name; she bonds with Joe, who is struggling with his unrequited love for Georgia.

Georgia intentionally causes Cynthia's husband Tom to die by smothering him with a pillow; unbeknownst to her, Austin witnesses this.

Gil arrives and Paul tells him that he is a convicted felon and will go back to prison if he continues to harass and blackmail Georgia.

The website's critics consensus reads, "If Ginny & Georgia can't quite pull off its tonally ambitious first season, it's at least entertaining to watch it try.

[31] Proma Khosla of Mashable calls out "the magnetism of Georgia and anyone she meets, Max's tenderness, [and] the rollercoaster of adolescent female friendship" as key components of the show.

When comparing the series to Gilmore Girls, he said: "There's also one area where Ginny & Georgia has a clear leg up on its predecessor: It understands from the jump that it's not especially healthy to have a mom who wants to be your best friend and is reluctant to fully grow up herself.

The website's critics consensus states, "Ginny & Georgia continues to strain credulity in its search for topical drama, but fans of the first season ought to still enjoy this sudsy sophomore outing.

[34] On March 1, 2021, a line in the first-season finale drew attention, spoken by Ginny to Georgia: "You go through men faster than Taylor Swift.

"[35] This drew backlash from fans, who condemned the line as being misogynistic and an example of slut-shaming the musician; the phrase "Respect Taylor Swift" trended worldwide on Twitter.
