What Billy Sparks’ Return May Mean For Young Sheldon Season 7?
The Sparks being the Coopers’ neighbor makes it easy to bring anyone of them back. However, considering Young Sheldon’s season 7’s shortened run, it’s unlikely that McClure will return just for a fun side adventure. Instead, Billy’s appearance may have something to do with a much bigger plot line that involves her mother — Brenda Sparks. The Sparks matriarch had a borderline affair with George, but after Mary confronted her in season 6, Young Sheldon never revisited the storyline, which suggests that it was pretty much resolved.
There hasn’t been any indication that Brenda will also be back in Young Sheldon season 7. However, if her inappropriate relationship with George isn’t the reason for Billy’s return, then it may have to be part of Young Sheldon’s attempt to solve a The Big Bang Theory plot hole involving the character. For context, Sheldon claimed that Billy was his biggest childhood bully, which the prequel continuously contradicts. He isn’t bright, but he is by no means a bully to him or anyone. If anything, Billy is the one who tends to be taken advantage of.
Whatever the case may be, Billy’s return will hopefully be part of setting up a satisfying Young Sheldon finale. Based on The Big Bang Theory canon, season 7 may be the final time that Sheldon will have any interactions with him, considering how the socially inept genius remembers him during adulthood.
