Georgia’s Mayhem

In the text of Ginny & Georgia Georgia Miller’s “mayhem” is a smart southern-style mess of survival covered up by bright smiles, fancy clothes and a trail of hidden bodies.. Among a few editors who worked on the show after it was made there is a famous messed-up file from when they were getting the second season ready.

This lost episode simply titled “Georgias Mayhem ” takes away the protective cover of the shows dark-comedy tone showing the real crazy mess beneath Georgias mom instincts.

### Act I: The Sound of the Woodchipper

The episode starts without the title card. It opens on a freezing morning in the woods outside Wellsbury. The colors are wrong—the bright pastel colors of the show are replaced by a grey color.

Georgia Miller is standing over a blue plastic tarp. She is wearing her white coat but it is heavily splattered with dark old blood. There is no background music— the loud industrial roar of a woodchipper nearby.

Georgia isn’t panicking. She is singing a tuneless song to herself. The camera pans down to the tarp. Inside isn’t one of her husbands but a messed-up pile of body parts and clothes that seem to move on their own.

She stops singing looks into the camera and drops her usual bright smile. Her eyes remain empty and cold.

“A good mom cleans up after her kids ” she says to the viewer. Her voice is stripped of its Southern accent; it is flat, rough and tired. “Even when they didn’t make the mess.”

She begins dragging the tarp toward the machine. The camera stays on a close-up of her face as the wet crushing sounds of the woodchipper begin. She doesn’t flinch. A single drop of blood hits her cheek. She calmly wipes it away like a tear.

### Act II: The Hive Mind of the Miller Home

The scene cuts to the Miller kitchen. The transition is jarring accompanied by a pop in the audio.

Ginny and Austin are sitting at the kitchen island. They aren’t talking. They are staring at a pile of raw onions piled on the counter. Austin is holding a pair of kitchen shears snipping at the air. Snip. Snip. Snip.

Georgia bursts through the door completely clean now wearing a different outfit. She is radiating a suffocating energy.

Georgia: “Who wants waffles?! We love waffles in this house! We are a family, right, Virginia? Tell me we’re happy.”

Ginny: (Monotone, without looking up) “We’re happy Mom. We’re so happy it hurts.”

Georgia: (Slamming her hands on the counter causing Austin to drop the shears) “Good! Because if we aren’t happy Paul leaves.. If Paul leaves the police come.. If the police come I have to do something bad again.”

She walks over to Austin. Hugs him from behind.. Her grip is too tight. Austin’s face contorts in pain. He looks at Ginny his eyes pleading,. Ginny just continues to stare at the onions.

### Act III: The Mayor’s Office

The chaos spreads to the Wellsbury town hall. Georgia is sitting at her desk outside Paul’s office.

Nick walks in carrying a stack of city budget folders.. As he places them on Georgia’s desk the camera reveals that every single page is just the word “RUN” printed over and over again.

Nick: “Georgia the auditors are here. They’re looking for Kenny’s estate records. They’re looking for Zions bank accounts. They’re looking for you.”

Georgia: (Chuckling, a sound that quickly turns into a laugh) “Oh, Nicky. They can look all they want.. People only see what I let them see.”

She stands up. Walks toward Paul’s office door. She opens it. The camera reveals that the office is empty—no furniture, no windows, just a deep dark void.

Georgia looks into the void. Shuts the door. “Paul is doing well in the polls ” she whispers to Nick. Nick doesn’t respond; his face has gone completely slack.

### Act IV: The Mayhem Parade

The episode ends with a sequence on Main Street. It’s supposed to be a Wellsbury town parade. The streets are entirely deserted.

Georgia is driving her convertible down the center of the road. Zion, Paul and Ellen are walking behind the car.

Ginny stands on the sidewalk holding a sign that reads “BEST MOM ” but her face is wet with tears.

Georgia stops the car in front of Ginny. She pulls out a syringe. Holds it up to the sun.

“Everything I did I did for you Ginny ” Georgia yells. “I killed them for you! I’ll kill everyone in this town for you! I’ll kill you for you if it keeps us safe!”

The camera spins violently around the car. The sky rapidly shifts from day to night. The audio swells into a wall of sound: Georgia’s laughter Ginny’s screaming.

### The Outro

The episode ends with Georgia sitting in the dark living room of her house. She is holding a glass of bourbon staring into the fireplace.

The camera slowly pulls back through the window out into the yard and up into the sky revealing that the entire town of Wellsbury is completely dark—every house every street light is out except for the single light burning in Georgia’s living room.

A block of text appears on the screen:

The final frame is a flash of Georgia’s face her eyes wide her mouth open, in a silent scream.
