The reason why Mary was so mad at George in The Big Bang Theory may be because of George’s final Young Sheldon arc. As the prequel approaches its final stretch, Sheldon’s dad’s days are also numbered. Young Sheldon is sticking to the established canon and seeing the end of George before the family comedy/drama officially wraps up. The series creatives remain mum about the specifics of how he will meet his end, but it has been confirmed that the Young Sheldon penultimate episode will be devoted to George’s funeral, which means that he will pass away before that.
George’s death is one of the big plots from The Big Bang Theory that has been expected to play out in the prequel; the other one being his affair. With Young Sheldon officially retconning George’s cheating scandal, the Cooper patriarch’s demise is shaping to be more heartbreaking. While the nerd-centric sitcom depicted a no-good father, the spinoff has properly rehabilitated the character’s image. Even Jim Parsons’ adult Sheldon has admitted that he regrets being too hard on his dad. That leaves Mary’s attitude towards her late husband in The Big Bang Theory as the only remaining mystery about George’s legacy.
George’s Vasectomy & Subsequent Death Explain Mary’s Anger In TBBT
Mary Fears The Thought Of Being An Empty-Nester.
The official synopsis for Young Sheldon season 7, episode 12, “A Little Snip and Teaching Old Dogs,” George undergoes a vasectomy without even his wife knowing. In light of Georgie and Mandy’s transfer to the McAllisters and Sheldon’s impending move to Pasadena, California to start his post-grad studies at Caltech, Mary experiences another surge of baby fever. She attempts to deal with this issue by suggesting that she and George have another baby. Knowing full well that this is such a bad idea but afraid to turn her down, the Cooper patriarch goes behind her back to get the procedure.
That bitterness may have stuck with her until she got older, the reason for her uncalled-for tirades against George in The Big Bang Theory .
Couple her already-existing fears of being alone with George’s unexpected death, and it’s understandable that Mary would develop some resentment over her husband’s betrayal in Young Sheldon season 7, episode 12. As it is, Sheldon’s mother is already resistant to the changes happening in his family. It isn’t difficult to imagine Mary misconstruing her grief and then blaming George for refusing to have another baby for feeling so alone after his death. That bitterness may have stuck with her until she got older, the reason for her uncalled-for tirades against George in The Big Bang Theory.
Mary’s Young Sheldon Season 7 Fear Explains Georgie’s TBBT Story
Georgie Took Over The Coopers After George’s Death.
Not much is known about what happens to the Coopers after George’s death. Unfortunately, CBS couldn’t properly tackle that despite Young Sheldon’s upcoming spinoff starring Georgie and Mandy, titled Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage, because none of the remaining family members will be series regulars. However, adult Georgie’s The Big Bang Theory debut revealed that Mary was too grief-stricken to function after his dad died, so he took over the clan.
Considering Mary’s faith and her rocky marriage, it sounded uncharacteristic of her to fully break down after losing George. She still had Missy to take care of, not to mention Connie’s situation after getting caught running an illegal gambling room. It didn’t seem plausible that she would just give up on them. However, her fears of being alone in Young Sheldon season 7 could explain why his death would hit her so much harder. It doesn’t help that the couple has recently rejuvenated their marriage after years of marital conflict.
