Here’s a short story-style recap of Young Sheldon Season 1, Episode 11, titled The morning sun had barely touched the Texas sky when ten-year-old Sheldon Cooper, armed with a worn copy of The Hobbit and a jar of mayonnaise for scientific purposes, marched into church. He wasn’t there for Jesus. He was there for the snacks and, more importantly, to debate the logistics of demonic possession.
Mary wrapped an arm around her. And in that moment, she realized: Sheldon might be the genius, but Missy understood people in a way he never could.
“You okay, baby?” Mary asked.
Missy didn’t look away from the screen. “He doesn’t want to be a villain, Mama. He just doesn’t know how to be anything else.”
But it was Missy who dropped the bomb.
“He’s sad,” she whispered to her pet frog, Leonard. “He’s got feelings. But no one asked.”
