He tells on his family to Mary, which prompts her to reprimand them on their actions. George begins ignoring Sheldon again for being a "snitch" and reconciles with Georgie. Ray Liotta makes a cameo appearance as a loan shark.
Dr. Ronald Hodges, a NASA engineer, appears as a guest speaker in Sheldon's science class and does not take his idea about VTVL technology seriously, making Sheldon go to great lengths to prove him wrong. He tries to do the calculations himself, but he needs a computer. When he realizes the family cannot afford one, he becomes frustrated, which causes him a stress ulcer. Sheldon takes the opportunity to use his doctor's computer and internet access to complete his calculations and send his results to NASA. When no reply comes, Sheldon gets depressed, prompting George to impulsively drive the family to the Johnson Space Center and demand that Hodges listen to Sheldon's idea. Hodges admits it is theoretically valid but that NASA lacks the technical capability to implement it at that time. Sheldon concludes that he is ahead of his time. On the way home, he thanks his father for standing up for him. 27 years later, a flashforward in 2016 shows the successful SpaceX CRS-8 mission, followed by SpaceX founder Elon Musk looking over Sheldon's old notebook then hiding it in a desk drawer.

After George spends 14 hours cooking in vain, he attempts to ban her from the household. When Georgie and Missy fear their parents might divorce over this, Sheldon suddenly recalls a memory of Connie telling him her recipe when he was 23 months old, so he threatens to reveal it unless the two of them make up. While he initially shows his interest in the recipe, George states that he is more bothered by the fact that she never thought he was good enough for her daughter. He acknowledges that he was disappointing when they first met, but he believes he has grown since then. Connie seemingly accepts him as a worthy son-in-law, only for George to get the recipe from Sheldon as soon as she leaves.

Mary and Connie get into a heated argument after the latter comments on the former for being "no fun" for forbidding Missy to dye her hair, but both later make amends with one another.

Since Star Trek character Captain Kirk also got away with cheating on the Kobayashi Maru test, Sheldon decides to adapt the "playing fast-and-loose with the rules" lifestyle he believes both Georgie and Kirk embrace by forging Mary's signature on a note excusing him from P.E. class and not properly checking out school library books. He eventually gets caught after Coach Wilkins shows George the note, prompting Mary to tell off Sheldon and force him to make amends by returning the books and going back to P.E., where Coach Wilkins makes him do the rope climb.

"A Swedish Science Thing and the Equation for Toast"
Jaffar Mahmood
Story by : Chuck Lorre & Damir Konjicija & Dario Konjicija Teleplay by : Steven Molaro & Eric Kaplan & Tara Hernandez
Georgie uses his own money to pay for cable TV service, but when he will not allow his father to use it, George presents him with a bill for his services. Sheldon invites the entire school to a listening party for the announcement of the Nobel Prize winners in Physics over a shortwave radio. Due to the time difference between Sweden (where the announcements are made) and Texas, the announcement comes at five o'clock in the morning local time, so nobody attends Sheldon's party except Mary, whom he excuses after realizing that she is not really interested in the Nobels and only felt sorry for him. Although he helped Sheldon set up the shortwave radio, Dr. Sturgis does not attend Sheldon's party, as the looming announcement triggers a depressive episode regarding his (likely permanent) lack of a Nobel for his own work. Sheldon begins to cry as the results are read out, believing he will remain friendless for the rest of his life; however, a subsequent montage reveals the current whereabouts of his present-day friends - including Leonard also listening to the Nobels broadcast, Raj doing schoolwork, Howard playing video games, Penny and Bernadette both sleeping, and his future wife Amy reading Little House on the Prairie with a flashlight - and the adult Sheldon notes that "thankfully", this belief was wrong.
Following Dr. Sturgis's hospitalization in a mental hospital, Mary worries something similar may happen to Sheldon. With Mary being indirect in trying to evaluate Sheldon's mental state, her questions cause Sheldon to be concerned about her mental health. This is resolved at the psychologist's office once Mary reveals the reason for her questioning. Meanwhile, Georgie discovers that a local gift shop is going out of business, and is selling snow globes for $1 each. He asks George for money to purchase a large quantity of snow globes with the intent of selling them at $5 each. His father dismisses the idea. Georgie initially fails with his plan until he figures out a way to play on the locals' nostalgia for snow in Texas to sell the snow globes.
Believing he is not being challenged enough at school, Sheldon decides to skip his classes and study independently in a broom closet within the school library. Once discovered, George and Mary disagree on whose responsibility to resolve the matter. Connie suggests having Sheldon audit Dr. Linkletter's physics course while Dr. Sturgis is hospitalized during one argument. Although the problem with Sheldon is solved, George is disturbed by his fight with Mary, and with the advice of Assistant Coach Wilkins, George invites Mary for date night. Meanwhile, Pastor Jeff tries to ward off his desires for intimacy with his girlfriend, Officer Robin, and Mary assists him with that. Pastor Jeff calls Mary's home for assistance, but he speaks to Missy instead, since Mary is out on her date night with George. Missy lies to Pastor Jeff about her and Georgie's experimentation with an Ouija board. Missy then fears that the lie will land her in hell, so she calls Pastor Jeff back to confess. The call back occurs just as Pastor Jeff was about to get intimate with his girlfriend, which he interpreted as a sign from God to cease. In response, Officer Robin asks Pastor Jeff to marry her.
Dr. Linkletter, wanting to create additional opportunities to meet with Connie, invites Sheldon to a robotics lecture. Connie feels uncomfortable and refuses to take Sheldon to the lecture. Sheldon accuses Connie of being selfish, so she spanks him (offscreen). His parents also refuse to drive him, hearing of his disrespect towards Connie. Sheldon also accuses his parents of being more selfish than Connie, so they ground him for a month. Sheldon, therefore, decides to take a bus to visit Dr. Sturgis at the mental hospital. Before the police track him down, a seatmate on the bus convinces Sheldon that he is in the wrong. He then 'apologizes' to his parents and Connie by showing them an episode of Star Trek that conveys his feelings, but they do not quite get it. Meanwhile, Georgie's latest get-rich-quick scheme (selling candy for half the price of the school's vending machine) nets him much money, which impresses Veronica, but she rejects the expensive bracelet he buys her. Hence, he buys her a cheap candy bracelet instead.

"A New Home and a Traditional Texas Torture"
Alex Reid
Story by : Chuck Lorre & Steve Holland & Eric Kaplan Teleplay by : Steven Molaro & Nadiya Chettiar & Connor Kilpatrick
Wanting to wrap things up in Texas, Sheldon visits his local comic bookstore, has one last lunch with Tam in the high school library (though Tam had graduated the previous year), and says goodbye to his former science teacher Mr. Givens. Principal Peterson tells George that Rice University is going to offer him a coaching job, which is George's dream. Talking with Mary, she feels ready to move to Houston with him and Missy. Everyone except Sheldon is excited by this opportunity. Sheldon's attempts to get Connie, Georgie and Mandy and East Texas Tech to buy the house don't work. President Hagemeyer says maybe Sheldon is truly scared of going to California. The next afternoon, as the family prepares for a family portrait photo, Coach Wilkins and Principal Peterson arrive at the Coopers' door with bad news; George has suffered a fatal heart attack at work.
As the family prepares for George's funeral, expressing their grief in different ways, Sheldon imagines alternate timelines featuring a variety of things he could have said to George during the last time his father left the house for work, rather than keeping silent and ignoring George as he usually did. At the funeral, several characters deliver eulogies for George. Georgie reflects on how his father always supported him no matter how he behaved. Connie makes humorous references to George's eating and drinking habits while remarking that, despite her initial disapproval of Mary's decision to pursue a relationship with him, she grew to love him as a son. Mary tearfully vents her anger about George leaving behind the family. Finally, Sheldon visualizes himself giving a powerfully moving speech on everything he wishes he could have said had he known George was about to die. The adult Sheldon, now comfortable saying what he wanted to say in the past, narrates that he loved his father and will always miss him.
Twenty-seven days after George's funeral, Sheldon, now a college graduate, prepares to leave for California when Mary insists that he and Missy be baptized. They are reluctant to do so until Connie convinces them otherwise, not wanting to see her daughter overwhelmed by grief. She visits Mary while she is praying at George's gravestone, urging her to spend time with her children before they leave the house. At the church, a still grieving Missy storms out, but Sheldon, wanting to show support for Mary yet stay hygienic in a potentially unsanitary tub of water, dons a wetsuit and scuba diving gear to be baptized. Over to the present day, the adult Sheldon is revealed to have been writing his memoir of his Texas childhood the entire time; he now lives in a suburban Los Angeles house with his wife, Amy Farrah Fowler, their son Leonard, and an unnamed daughter. Amy struggles to convince Sheldon to join her in watching Leonard play in a school hockey game until he finally concedes when he realizes that he should spend more time with his children as Mary and George did with him, Missy, and Georgie. As they leave, Amy mentions that their daughter wants to take acting lessons, to which Sheldon groans that they should not have let Penny babysit their children. Sheldon visualizes himself in his childhood home sometime after Mary sold it, recalling one of the last conversations he had with Missy before leaving for California. Missy asks what Sheldon is doing and he replies that he's "taking it all in one last time" so he can remember it when he's older. She asks if he will remember her and he says that he has no choice but to remember her because of his eidetic memory. In the end, Young Sheldon arrives at Caltech; when a professor (David Saltzberg) passing by asks if he is lost, he replies that he is where he belongs.
