Young Sheldon – White Trash, Holy Rollers and Punching People

By: Sammi Turano

The episode opens with Mary (Zoe Perry) meeting with Pastor Rob (Dan Byrd) over coffee in the park. She wants to talk about the way everyone is treating her now that word is out about Georgie getting a girl pregnant. He asks her how she would react if the situation were reversed, giving her time to think.

At Sunday school, Sheldon (Iain Armitage) and Missy (Raegan Revord) know people are talking about the family. Missy is ready for them and Billy(Wyatt McClure) is ready to back her up. When one of the kids starts in on her, Missy punches him in the face.

Pastor Rob, George (Lance Barber), Mary and Pastor Jeff (Matt Hobby) have a meeting regarding the fight. After some back and forth, Pastor Jeff decides that Mary should take some time off from the church until things blow over.

At home Mary and George argue about whether or not Missy should be punished. Mary tries to get her to go to her room, but George tells her to continue watching MTV….until Mary leaves.

Georgie (Montana Jordan) wants to know what is going on and is upset when he finds out the fight was about him.

Mandy goes to visit MeeMaw (Annie Potts) and tells her that she told her parents about the baby. They told her she was on her own. MeeMaw comforts her and promises to be by her side while they bond over food and drink.

Pastor Rob visits Mary to talk about everything and pray over the situation. Missy catches them and is sent to her room for missing school…even though she left because she couldn’t punch anyone else.

Georgie is at work when MeeMaw is leaving. He wants to know where she is going, but he refuses to tell her. This leads to him following her and finding her at the doctor with Mandy (Emily Osment).  When it comes time for her to see the doctor, she refuses to let him go, so MeeMaw goes in with her instead.

Sheldon tells President Hagemeyer (Wendie Malick) about what is going on, even though she doesn’t seem to be interested.

Coach Wilkins (Doc Farrow) and Tom (Rex Linn) are at the bar with George. The two of them chat, completely ignoring George and talking smack about him. He ends up leaving and telling them off.  When he gets home Mary tells him Pastor Rob dropped by, which leads to a fight and Missy getting upset again. George storms out.

President Hagemeyer calls Mary about what’s going on at home. Mary ends up breaking down, but President Hagemeyer still doesn’t seem interested. When Mary gets off the phone, she begins to cry, so Missy comes out to give her a hug.

At dinner Sheldon wonders where George is, so Missy covers for him by saying he is working late. Georgie says he went to the doctor with Mandy and he is wearing her down.

The episode ends with the family praying before they eat.
