Previously on Young Sheldon...

I heard you're raising money to study in Germany.

Is that true? Yes, but I'm not having any luck.

Oh, your luck's about to change. Here's one week of my pay.

Wow. Thank you.

Mm. Whatever it takes to get you on that plane.

Missy's been sneaking out of the house at night,

and I'm worried she's going to rob a mall.

I also think she's smoking. (exhales)

I hate you.

And please look after Sheldon and I as we travel to Germany.

"Sheldon and me."

(sighs) God doesn't care about grammar.

You're not gonna be on a ten-hour flight with God.

I bet it's gonna feel longer than ten.

And please watch over George and Missy while we're away.

And thank You for the blessing

of Mandy and Georgie's engagement.

Amen. ALL: Amen.

So, Moon Pie, are you excited about Germany?

Thrilled. Or should I say...

For the love of God, no more German.

(whispers): Hoch erfroeut.

(sighs)

So, uh, where's Missy?

In her room.

She's mad at me for telling on her.

And me for grounding her.

Don't beat yourself up. You did the right thing.

Just give her some time, she'll cool off.

Yeah, you were pissed at me all the time,

now we're getting married.

To be clear, no weddings till I get back.

Oh, don't worry, I haven't even told my parents yet.

Hmm? I'm just waiting 'cause...

Well, you've met my mom.

Although, she's been pretty sweet with CeeCee.

Well, some people are better grandmas than moms.

Is that a swipe at me?

Could be a compliment.

Maybe I was saying you improved with...

Stuff it.

I think you're a wonderful grandma.

You can stuff it, too.

(exhales)

Missy?

Look, I know you're not speaking to me,

but I'm going to be out of the country for the summer,

and I think we'd both feel better

if we parted ways amicably.

We've never been away from each other for this long,

which will be different,

and I don't like when things are different.

So I suppose what I'm trying to say is...

I'll miss you.

(knocking on door)

Do you really think the back room needs

all these security cameras?

Well, I wanted a rottweiler, you said no.

We're not gonna get robbed again.

How do you know?

I've taken precautions. (door closes)

Mandy around?

No.

Good, I found an engagement ring.

Oh, let me see it.

Well, I-I don't have it yet. It's a little expensive.

Oh. Son, as a man who's been through a divorce,

let me give you some advice. Here we go.

Do not spend a lot of money on a ring.

But I love her.

We all loved them in the beginning.

Does he have to be here?

(laughs) What do you want, honey?

Well, I was hoping to get an advance on my pay.

Mm, how much you need?

Next month and the month after that,

and, like, two weeks after that.

Cubic zirconia. Look into it.

Would you stop?

She'll never know.

No, I got to get the real thing. It's important.

Learn from him.

What the hell is all this?

Precautions.

When we get there, you'll be looking

for "international departures."

Ah, well, thanks for letting me know

that Germany's in a different country.

Is he joking? I'd like to believe he's joking.

He's joking, Sheldon.

He's a football coach. I don't know what he knows.

Should I make her take those off?

Why? She's being quiet.

I'm not gonna see her for months.

Well, I got to see her every day. Let me enjoy this.

Don't feel bad, Mom. She's mad at me, not you.

That doesn't make me feel any better.

What?

Mom feels bad that you're ignoring her.

Good, I'm mad at her for making me go to the airport.

Mm. Feel better?

Okay, we got diapers, wipes,

change of clothes, bottles, binkies, bibs.

And we got your boobs, so we're set on food.

Okay, please don't bring my boobs up

when we're at my parents' house.

Well, what if it comes up naturally?

It won't.

Okay. Are we forgetting anything?

Well, just this.

What are you doing?

I know we're already engaged, but...

I wanted you to have this.

(gasps)

Oh, Georgie, it's beautiful.

I don't know what to say.

Thank you for asking me to marry you.

You're welcome.

And also, when we tell people the story,

can we leave that part out?

Why? 'Cause a woman proposing to a man is embarrassing?

Yeah.

GATE AGENT: Now boarding Flight 622,

nonstop service to Frankfurt.

That's us.

Are you gonna be okay?

Don't worry. Have a great trip.

Oh, it's a long time.

I'm gonna miss you.

Mm. I'm gonna miss you, too.

Great, can we go now?

Not before you give me a hug.

(sighs) Fine. Oh...

I'm not gonna miss this attitude, but I'll miss you.

I'll miss you, too.

Say goodbye to your brother.

No, thanks.

Just as well, I don't care much for hugs.

Whatever.

Missy.

Fine, bye.

I'll be in the gift shop.

Auf Wiedersehen!

It's really coming down out there.

I don't believe it.

Oh, don't worry.

I'm sure they fly in much worse.

What?

The rain. It's gonna be okay.

Oh, Dad told me you might get nervous.

There, there.

I was trying to calm you down.

Oh, I'm not nervous, I'm excited.

There's a celebrity on the plane.

Really? Who?

Dr. Van Doornewaard.

Oh. Who is that?

You're kidding, right?

He's the Dmitri Mendeleev of physics.

And he is...?

Dmitri Mendeleev? Oh, he is to chemistry

what Pierre-Simon Laplace is to...

Got it. He's a famous science guy.

Mm.

Look at him, sitting in coach like a regular joe.

I'm going to go introduce myself.

Uh, the seat belt sign is on.

I think we're getting ready to take off.

(grumbles) (sighs)

It's okay. He's not going anywhere.

Ooh, I'm going to have him autograph my vomit bag.

I hope I don't have to use it first.

(chuckles): Boy.

Really coming down.

Hello?

What?

What's going on with you?

Nothing.

Missy.

Like you never messed up when you were my age?

Oh, I messed up plenty.

Luckily, the Army straightened me out.

Maybe you should ship me off to the Army.

I'm sure that'll make everyone happy.

You know, that's not a bad idea. What?

Tomorrow morning, you're up at 0600.

Why?

Yard work, cleaning the gutters,

then you gonna help me put bars on your bedroom window.

(scoffs) You can't make me do all that.

Hmm. Cute how you think that.

Why are you trying to ruin my life?

That's "Why are you trying to ruin my life, sir."

One question. Yes?

What's 0600?

(wind whistling)

Hey. Pastor Jeff.

What you doing up there?

Oh, I was installing security cameras.

You know, you can't be too safe.

People rob laundromats?

(games dinging)

Yeah. All the time.

I-I got to go grab something.

So, help yourself to a washer and...

peace be upon you.

And you as well.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Pastor Jeff is out there.

So? So?

He wanted to shut down the video store.

What do you think he's gonna do

when he finds out about all this?

He's not gonna find out unless you start acting all weird.

Did you already start acting all weird?

Nah.

Yeah.

I'll handle it.

Well, what a nice surprise.

Hey there, Connie.

Were you in that storage closet all this time?

Yes, I was.

That's not weird.

Well, that is a beaut.

Yeah. He did good.

So, when's the big day?

Jim, back off. It's her wedding.

Thank you, Mom.

Sorry. Just don't do it in June.

Got a big tire expo in June.

Oh, don't worry, we got to wait for my mom and brother

to get back from Germany.

And we're kind of thinking something small,

probably just down at the courthouse.

Well, I think that sounds great.

So you guys are okay that it's not gonna be a big to-do,

and you can't invite all your friends?

More than okay.

Oh, great. She was all worried

you weren't gonna be okay with it.

Well, I am.

So, we're all happy.

I'm happy.

What do you mean "more than okay"?

No, I don't, I don't think she meant nothing.

Just that I agree with you, under the circumstances,

smaller is better.

What circumstances?

These cute little circumstances

right here.

So you're embarrassed

for your friends to see

we're getting married and we already have a baby.

AUDREY: Of course not.

They know you have a baby.

They just may be under the impression

that you're already married.

(scoffs)

Let's get back to something

we can all agree on.

That ring. That's a darn fine ring.

Darn fine. Isn't it?

Okay.

(bell chimes) Don't bother them, they're busy.

They're flight attendants, I'm on a flight

and I need attending. (Scoffs)

Can I help you? Yes, when is the seat belt sign

going to turn off?

As soon as the captain thinks it's safe

to move about the cabin.

But you're moving about the cabin.

Because you pushed the button.

We're sorry to bother you.

Is there anything else?

Yes, could you please tell the man in 44E

that I'm a huge fan of his mirror symmetry theory?

And he also may want to consider applying it

to enumerative geometry. There's nothing else.

Okay.

I know that you're excited,

but when that seat belt sign does go off,

you need to be respectful.

That man may not want to meet you... (bell chimes)

(sighs)

Gin and tonic.

Oh, I don't really...

Thank you.

(exhales)

Come on. You don't have to go.

Oh, yes, we do.

'Cause we have a big embarrassing wedding to plan.

(scoffs) So now you're doing this just to spite me?

No, that's not what we're doing.

That's not what we're doing, right?

We're gonna have a big wedding, and we're gonna show

everybody in this town that we love each other

and we don't care who knows it.

So that is what we're doing.

Okay, look, I think you both just need to calm down.

Yep. Knew it when I said it.

Let's go.

(wind whistling)

(thunder rumbles)

I don't think we should drive in this.

It's just a little rain.

Amanda, you're acting like a child.

See you at the wedding.

Could someone please get me a towel?

(alarm sounding)

Okay, e-everybody, get away from the window. Come on.

Is there someplace we can shelter?

Should we move everybody somewhere else?

I thought you didn't want to put you-know-who somewhere else.

(shouts) Okay, everybody, follow me.

Come on.

Are we all gonna fit in there?

Maybe God will provide a miracle.

What is all this?

A miracle.

ANNOUNCER (over radio): The National Weather Service

has issued a tornado warning for the following counties:

Polk, Trinity, Angelina, Nacogdoches.

Dad, I'm scared.

It's okay, we're almost home.

Keep an eye out for funnel clouds.

What happens if I see one?

Well, we get out of the car and we lay down low

till it passes over us.

Get out of the car?

Car can get picked up.

It's safer on the ground.

Okay.

Dad, we need to get out of the car.

The National Weather Service... (alarm sounding)

Now, do you think we're ever going

to discover the equivalence of heterotic

and supergravity string theories?

You betcha.

That would turn the theory of quantum gravity upside down.

Will anybody know?

Was that a joke? Yes.

(both laugh)

Would you like to switch seats with me?

Oh, no, I wouldn't want to put you out.

I'm spending the summer at the University of Heidelberg

studying superstrings.

Wonderful. I'm actually a visiting professor there.

Then I guess I'll be visiting a professor there.

(laughs): Very good.

Get it?

(laughs)

(alarm sounding in distance)

CeeCee okay?

Seems like she's liking it in here.

Well, takes after me.

It's my favorite room in the house.

Just so you know, we're not paying for a big wedding.

(thunder rumbling)

Really? We might all die

and this is what you want to talk about?

You've always been so dramatic.

Okay, just so you know, we don't need your money.

We're gonna pay for the wedding ourselves.

Uh, actually...

I thought you said you were saving up.

I was.

Now it's on your finger.

How much did you pay for this?

All that matters is that you're happy.

How much, Georgie?

Yeah, I'm a little curious.

(gasps) What?

Now I'm real curious.

They're not having a big wedding.

(thunder crashing)

(alarm sounding)

MISSY: Do you see it? Keep your head down!

(clattering, thudding)

(wind whistling)

I can't believe you're running a gambling room.

Well, it's keeping us safe right now,

so maybe the Lord works in mysterious ways.

Ooh, that's good.

Or maybe He sent that storm so I could save all these souls.

Ooh, that's good, too.

(thunder crashes)

MEEMAW: Well, if you're gonna save our souls,

we're gonna have to survive.

How about you put in a word with your boss?

Right. Everyone, hold hands.

(thunder crashing)

Dear Lord, please keep us safe.

And not just those of us huddled here

in this establishment, but all our loved ones,

wherever they may be.

Our family and friends.

Please forgive us our mistakes and our sins,

and let us come through this stronger

and closer together in our faith.

Amen.

It's getting quieter.

(stammers) It's moving away.

You sure?

Yeah, look. Look.

Rain's letting up.

Yeah.

We're okay.

(crying)

Hey, hey, hey. It's over.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for everything.

I've been awful. I don't even know why.

I really do love you and Mom,

and I don't actually hate Sheldon.

I'll be better. I promise.

I know you will.

I love you, too.

Where's the car?

Glad we got out?

(chuckles)

MEEMAW: Mary's house looked okay.

DALE: Boy, that was a big one.

(gasps)

Oh, Connie, I'm so sorry.

Oh... Oh, my God.

Oh... (groans)

No one was in there. That's the important thing.

Mandy and the baby could've been home.

But they weren't.

I mean, it's just stuff, right?

And money.

Oh, no. All my money.

Oh... Calm down. That...

Don't tell me to calm down! Help me pick it up.

All right, all right.

(line ringing)

No one's answering at your meemaw's house, either.

Starting to get a little worried.
