The season finale opens with Adult Sheldon (Jim Parsons) talking about superheroes and George (Lance Barber) in the bar. His rival tries to talk to him and buy him a beer, but George is not having it because Roy knows about George’s job being on the line and wants to rub salt in the wound.
The next day Sheldon (Iain Armitage) discovers a zit on his face while Penn and Teller (as themselves) parody a puberty health video that describes Sheldon’s current situation.  Mary (Zoe Perry) tells him it is a zit, while Missy (Raegan Revord) makes fun of him.
At school George finds out Wayne (Doc Farrow) will be taking George’s job, causing him to tell Tom (Rex Linn) he is quitting before he gets fired.
Georgie (Montana Jordan) is at work, selling beer to make extra money when MeeMaw (Annie Potts) walks in. She tells him it is illegal and tries to stop him from selling it and people from drinking. Georgie says he needs money for the baby; however, MeeMaw won’t help.
At the doctor’s office Sheldon is told he just has a pimple while Penn and Teller continue to parody. He later goes on to talk to Principal Linkletter (Ed Begley Jr) about it, but he is not interested. He sends for President Hagemeyer (Wendie Malick) to avoid litigation, leading them to reminisce on their younger years.
George tells Mary he quit his job. She is upset since they are both out of jobs and have to support the family. They look at the classifieds, only to find they are not qualified for any of the jobs available.
Georgie and MeeMaw plot to make more money. He suggests selling cigarettes by purchasing them and marking them up at the casino-laundromat. MeeMaw recalls driving south of the border to buy them in her younger years, causing Georgie to plan to do the same thing. He asks Wade (Grady Lee Richmond) to go, but MeeMaw gets wind of this and agrees to go with him instead.
Mary gets them applications for the local grocery store, but George is not interested. This causes them to fight and for her to storm off in anger.
That night Sheldon dreams about his family’s life going awry.…and his pimple. Penn and Teller continue to give commentary on his puberty journey.
He wakes up from the dream and asks Missy for help via walkie talkie. She goes in to help him and they have a sweet heart to heart, which includes her wanting to marry Vanilla Ice (which Sheldon thinks is a snow cone).
The next day George is home watching TV when Mary asks him to look at the classifieds. He doesn’t want to, leading for her to storm off in anger once again.
Georgie and MeeMaw drive to Mexico and bond whilst listening to Johnny Cash.
Mary visits Brenda (Melissa Peterman) at the bowling alley to try and get a job. Brenda doesn’t want to give her a job, but Mary insists it is right up her alley. She also admits everything is falling apart.
Missy helps Sheldon pop his pimple, causing the Penn and Teller to end their puberty commentary.
George comes home in a bad mood. Mary tells him she got a job, but he feels weird since it is with Brenda. However, before he can comment, MeeMaw calls and says she and Georgie got arrested at the border.
The episode ends with Sheldon debuting his Flash t-shirt that became iconic on “The Big Bang Theory.”
