CBS releases the first promo for Young Sheldon season 4 finale and it teases an emotional episode for the Coopers. Despite the production hurdles brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, The Big Bang Theory spinoff only has one more outing left before it closes out the current year.

After cutting season 3 short following health guidelines to curb the spread of COVID-19, Young Sheldon continued its narrative the way CBS planned it. A lot has happened during the course of season 4 including Sheldon officially going to college at East Texas Tech. Meanwhile, cracks in the marriage of George Sr. and Mary are starting to show up although the sitcom wouldn’t outright determine that they’re headed for a rocky patch. The penultimate episode titled “A Black Hole” ended on a poignant note as Sheldon and his father shared a rare tender moment.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

To hype up the upcoming Y0ung Sheldon season 4 finale, CBS releases the first look at the episode titled “The Wild and Woolly World of Nonlinear Dynamics.” Clocking in at just 19 seconds, it appears as if Missy would be the main character of the story as she deals with some unknown emotional stress leading to Sheldon having to step up and support his twin. Elsewhere, George Sr. and Mary are having an argument although there’s no context provided. Interestingly, the clip also promises that the events of the outing will be discussed throughout the summer break. Watch the clip shared by TV Promos on YouTube below:

It seems like a weird tangent to suddenly have a Missy-centric storyline in the very final episode of Young Sheldon season 4. Throughout the year, she’d been mostly relegated to B-plotlines with Sheldon understandably always the center of the narrative. She did have some significant moments, however, including going on her first date and getting her first kiss. It’s uncertain what’s bothering her in the upcoming outing, but it does look like she’s really having an emotionally hard time. Meanwhile, the argument between George Sr. and Mary might simply be setting up the inevitable collapse of their marriage as told by Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory.

As odd as the primary narrative is for Young Sheldon season 4 finale, it somehow harkens back to the year’s premiere where Sheldon started having doubts about starting college. It was Missy who encouraged him that change is good and that whatever came his way in his new school, he would be okay. This time, however, it’s Sheldon’s turn to support his twin sister who has somehow decided to run away. It’s curious how the upcoming episode will end, but at least fans are assured in knowing that Young Sheldon will be back for a season 5 since it has been awarded a rare three-season renewal by CBS.

Accidental movie and TV fan who is perpetually curious, Ana rekindled her love for writing and married it with everything pop culture. The result is a passionate writer who could ramble (and of course, pen) about films and series multiple hours a day. She has a soft spot for procedurals and old sitcoms (The Golden Girls!) but won’t dare watch any horror films although she’s (ironically) dying to see one. Though a bit late to the party and was an actual Force non-believer, she now finds the Star Wars franchise quite fascinating (fun fact: it was a crazy Jar Jar Binks/Sith theory that drew her in).
