You like seeing Sheldon lose an argument to a feline. Skip if: You are allergic to pre-teen angst.
Sheldon’s science experiment for school involves observing a parasite (a tapeworm). But when Missy points out that he has never actually cared about a living thing before, he pivots. Hard. He adopts a stray cat. The logic? "If I can keep this cat alive, it proves I understand biology better than the teacher." The result? The cat hides in the wall of the garage for three days. Cue Sheldon trying to lure it out with laser pointers, algebra equations, and eventually, raw fish. (Spoiler: The cat only comes out for George Sr., because of course it does).
If there is one thing Young Sheldon does better than most sitcoms, it is the art of the moral dilemma. In , Sheldon Cooper isn't dealing with quantum mechanics—he’s dealing with guilt. And spoiler alert: He is terrible at it.
