Young Sheldon‘s Mary Is Onto George and Brenda — But Does She Have a Leg to Stand On? Watch Sneak Peek
Whoa, baby! In addition to Georgie and Mandy’s daughter, Thursday’s Young Sheldon (CBS, 8/7c) delivers a George-and-Mary moment two seasons in the making — and TVLine has your exclusive first look. [pmc_inline_gallery]
After getting Mandy to the hospital, Brenda Sparks (recurring guest star Melissa Peterman) attempts to make herself scarce. But George, who has just arrived for the birth of his grandchild, insists that his next-door neighbor keep him company.
It’s there, seated beside Mary’s hubby, that Brenda is overcome with a sense of déjà vu.
“Remember the last time we were here?” she asks.
“You mean the night you gave me a heart attack?” George answers.
“Stop it,” she responds, playfully slapping his arm. “I did not give you a heart attack.”
“You gave me something,” he responds.
Their flirtatious back-and-forth is cut short by the arrival of Mary, who’s clearly thrown by Brenda’s proximity to her husband. Lest we forget, Mary knows that Brenda has the hots for a married man! But before Mrs. Cooper has a chance to interrogate, her own “special friend” makes his presence known.
The Big Bang Theory prequel has been slow-burning George’s potential affair with Brenda since its Season 4 finale. Mary’s tempter, Rob (played by Dan Byrd), arrived early in Season 5. George previously confronted Mary about her friendship with the youth pastor, but Mary has remained blind to George’s secret chicken coop meetings with Brenda. Is all that about to change?

Missy is already aware and Sheldon should have whatever encounter he walked in on soon to properly tie in to TBBT. However, I still think TBBT Sheldon needed to have mentioned Dr. Sturgess when he won that award to keep the shows truly in sync. I really think Sheldon should end next season. I honestly don’t find Sheldon as endearing after his growth spurt and voice change. Maybe 5 seasons was enough.
The producers of Young Sheldon stated they are not tied to anything that was said on TBBT. For example , Billy was supposedly Sheldon’s bully but he’s just a dumb neighbor
I agree that Sheldon hasn’t been the big draw for the show lately. I would prefer a show that focuses on the family with an occasional check in by Sheldon. He has become insufferable while they have become more interesting and layered.
Couldn’t agree with you more!
There are enough plot holes in Young Sheldon that here doesn’t have to be an affair for George. Mary and Sheldon may be mad at George for ‘leaving’ (dying).
There are many differences between the same characters in YS and TBBT. Why does Ge
Does anyone know what happened to Billy’s little sister? She was in the 1st or 2nd season briefly as bullying Sheldon but doesn’t seem to exist anymore and I find it really odd.
