George And Tammy Episode 1 Recap And Ending Explained: SHOWTIME’s “George And Tammy” takes us on the journey of the power couple that not only left their mark on country music but also inspired the next generation with their music. Their dynamic, how they met, and what happened, later on, are covered in the SHOWTIME series.
The first episode starts off with how George met Tammy during a pivotal point in Tammy’s life when she meets George and the course of their lives is forever changed. The whole Episode contains country songs which make us wonder about the rest of the Episodes and also set our expectations as well.
It starts with the time when George Jonas who was not a mere name in the field of music, he’s at the prime of his career but suffers from alcoholism to an extent that he can’t even get up for the packed concert. Currently in the middle of a separation from his second wife, his days feel overwhelming and he drinks even more.
Until one day Tammy Wynette along with her husband Don Chapel arrive at his door in hopes that he will let them open for his next concert. George is instantly swooned by Tammy’s performance but is not impressed by Don, her husband.
Tammy, on the other hand, has always been a fan and admired him as a single but after meeting him, she becomes infatuated with him and the feeling is mutual between them until George makes it clear very well knowing that Tammy is married to Don.
The two spend more time together as this association is very good for Tammy’s career which makes Don suspect that there is more going on between them and in jealousy, he leaves her at the start of the performance. George takes this opportunity and joins her in the performance and that gets both of them closer.
George makes certain gestures like giving her his own tour bus to win her heart until a point that Don is so jealous and infuriated that he decides to confront both of them about it.
While Tammy is still married to Don, there’s so much already going on between George and Tammy. George doesn’t shy away from declaring his feelings and Tammy also is infatuated with him. Being an alcoholic, George has violent outbursts sometimes but he is awfully nice around Tammy which makes Tammy develop feelings for him as well.
After George offers to record Tammy’s song that Don wrote, he invites himself for dinner at Tamm and Don’s. While everything looked okay on the surface, there’s tension at the dinner table where George is trying to abstain from the alcohol, Don trying not to focus on the fact that there’s something going on between Tammy and George but all of this breaks out and George and Don end up fighting each other.
George offers for Tammy to leave with him along with the kids and Tammy does exactly that and they both run off together. While they’re leaving, Don yells that this isn’t going to end like a fairy time for them.
