CBS spent several seasons slowly transforming Young Sheldon to be more of a family comedy instead of just a character-centric sitcom. The TBBT prequel may have started with Sheldon as the focus of its storytelling, but it has diversified its plot lines by giving the rest of the Cooper family their own respective arcs. The results are evident throughout Young Sheldon season 6, but more so in its finale, which sees each member of the clan going through their own narratives — a change in tone that sets up a more dynamic Young Sheldon season 7.
Missy Gets Seriously Angry At Sheldon
Sheldon Snitching On Missy Causes Major Tension
After getting away with her first night away with Pastor Jeff’s niece, Tonya, in Young Sheldon season 6, episode 20, Missy continues rebelling by sneaking out past her bedtime to drink and smoke. Her parents are unaware of this until Sheldon rats her out in Young Sheldon season 6, episode 21. Missy is completely wrong in this scenario, but that doesn’t stop her from being angry at her twin. However, Sheldon’s decision to tattle is rooted in his concern for her. Considering Missy’s The Big Bang Theory appearance, however, expect that the Cooper twins will eventually patch things up.
Mandy & Georgie Are Finally Engaged
Season 6 Sets Up Mandy & George’s Wedding
It’s no secret that Mandy and Georgie’s story is the best original storyline that Young Sheldon has come up with thus far. There was no mention of the pair’s romance in The Big Bang Theory, so CBS has more creative wiggle room when it comes to developing their story. After a tumultuous year for the pair, which includes the birth of their daughter, both Mandy and Georgie are ready to take their relationship to the next level by finally getting engaged at the end of Young Sheldon season 6.
Sheldon Leaves For Germany
The Boy Genius’ Time Abroad Was Mentioned In The Big Bang Theory
After his failed grant database, Young Sheldon gives Sheldon one final personal arc in season 6 that revolves around spending the summer in Germany. Despite some specific narrative inconsistencies, the upcoming stint abroad was previously established in The Big Bang Theory season 1, episode 11, “The Pancake Batter Anomaly.” Now that the boy genius and Mary are already out of the country, it’s curious if CBS is planning to stick to canon, which says that the Cooper matriarch eventually comes home to help the family following tornado season.
Pastor Jeff Discovers Meemaw’s Gambling Den
The Young Sheldon Villain Could Cause Serious Problems After The Season 6 Finale
Dubbed Young Sheldon‘s true villain, Pastor Jeff returns after his brief involvement in Young Sheldon season 6, episode 20. In the finale, he has a bigger role, as he not only finds out about Tonya’s shenanigans with Missy but also accidentally discovers Meemaw’s illegal gambling business. Connie’s laundromat and video store-fronted makeshift casino has encountered several setbacks. Pastor Jeff learning about it is arguably the biggest problem, considering his judgmental and self-righteous nature. He has continually put the Coopers in jeopardy, including firing Mary after news of Georgie and Mandy’s pregnancy came out. Understandably, Meemaw is stressed about it.
