5 Key Takeaways From Young Sheldon 6x20 Promo "German for Beginners and a Crazy Old Man with a Bat'

For six years now, Young Sheldon has been a source of delight for viewers. A spinoff of The Big Bang Theory, it has outstripped its predecessor in popularity, currently ranking as the top family show on American television.

The ongoing sixth season, which has been somewhat protractedly extended since September 2022, is finally nearing its conclusion, with just three episodes left. This week, episode 20 is set to be released. CBS unveiled its promotional material shortly after the airing of episode 19. Here are the five most significant observations about the promo.

1. Sheldon Might Be Going to Germany

The promo shows Sheldon attempting to dazzle his parents with his proficiency in German, hinting at the summer programme at the University of Heidelberg, an opportunity Dr. Sturgis offered him in episode 19. While George and Mary don't outright reject the idea, they don't immediately approve it either, stating they'll need to consider it more thoroughly. As Sheldon puts it, 'It's also not a "nein",' suggesting that he could indeed be heading to Germany.

2. George and Mary Are Still Together

George's potential infidelity has been a hot topic since season 5, a moment many viewers have been dreading. However, such an event has yet to transpire in season 6. Despite their challenges and confrontations over Brenda and Pastor Rob, Mary and George appear to be happy together in the promo for episode 20.

3. Young Sheldon Is Following TBBT’s Canon

Although the potential infidelity was a storyline introduced by the adult Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory, it has yet to occur in Young Sheldon. Nevertheless, the spinoff continues to follow the original plot, albeit with some alterations. We see this with Sheldon's potential trip to a German university, a detail he boasts about in The Big Bang Theory.

4. Meemaw Is Having Trouble with Her Gambling Den

Constance has been thriving with her illicit gambling operation. However, it seems she is finally due to face the consequences in episode 20, with a potential raid on her clandestine casino rooms expected.

5. Missy Is Getting a New Friend

Sadly, Missy has largely been a peripheral character this season. However, rumours suggest she is set to expand her social circle in episode 20, potentially gaining some new and very cool friends.

If you are as psyched to see the next episode of Young Sheldon as we are, make sure you catch it on CBS on 11 May.
