Previously on Young Sheldon.

Oh, that ain't good.

Please stop running.

A deal can be made without going to trial.

You plead guilty, pay a fine, lose your business license,

maybe some community service, probation, but no jail time.

So, do I tell them we have a deal?

Okay, fine.

Oh, thank God.

I'm too old to find somebody new.

Hi, I'm Connie Tucker.

I'm supposed to be reporting to my probation officer.

You found her.

Come on in.

Sorry I'm a little late.

Not moving very fast today.

Weren't you arrested running from the police?

Well, I have my good days.

Oh...

So, the terms of your probation require you to do 180 hours of community service.

And you're currently sitting at zero.

Not true.

I've been reading to the elderly.

Oh? Where at?

Chi Chi's.

My boyfriend forgot his glasses, so I read him the menu.

This is a joke to you.

Well, I was hoping.

You think putting on this act is going to get you a lighter sentence?

Act?

What act?

Look at my nose.

Okay.

You know what this nose can do?

It can smell bullpucky from two counties over.

And you know what it's smelling right now?

A big, steamy pile.

What kind of community service are we talking about?

I can't be up there on the interstate picking up trash with some wine nose.

Well, there are other options.

Hit me.

How about Habitat for Humanity?

Build some household home.

The tornado blew mine to smithereens.

How about some do-gooder bill me a home?

Moving on.

You're on a half minute suit.

What? Wait, why?

There's a sewage pipe under the hepatitis clinic with your name on it.

Let's keep thinking.

Well, we got animal shelters, libraries, churches.

Oh.

Is that any church?

Well, yeah. As long as they sign off on your hours.

Oh, I like where this is headed.

Why?

A good Christian woman always is eager to serve.

A Christian woman who ran a back room casino?

Hey, God forgave me.

Maybe you should too.

Do you understand I have the power to throw you in jail?

To be honest, I did not.

That doesn't go there.

Doesn't matter.

Canned beans next to jarred preserves?

Who cares?

I care.

Well, no one cares that you care.

I'm someone.

And I care that I care.

And I care that I care that I care.

Okay, that's enough.

Are we done?

What's your hurry?

It's paternity test day in Ricky Lake and I'm missing it.

If people paid more attention to what belongs

where, there'd be no need for paternity tests.

Just go.

I'll give you a hand.

Actually, I'm not crazy about how you organize things either.

I need you to do me a favor.

Hello to you too.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Look, I need you to sign some forms for me.

No questions asked.

What am I signing?

We agree. No questions asked.

Given her criminal past, I'd advise caution.

Moonpie, I love you.

But shut it.

Look, I gotta knock out my community service and they say I can do it at the church.

That's great.

We'd love to have you.

Or you could just fill out my time sheets and we would be done with the whole thing,

easy peasy.

I'm not lying for you.

That's a sin.

Oh, come on.

180 hours at my age?

Who knows if I've even got that much time left?

Well, then it's a good thing that we're gonna get to spend so much of it together.

Bye.

Hello.

Don't you hear the baby crying?

Yeah, she's been at it for a while.

And you didn't go pick her up?

Well, no. It's still her nap time.

Well, she'll cry herself out and go back to sleep.

Unbelievable.

Good idea.

Let the baby be in charge.

No, actually, I left my mother in charge but I won't make that mistake again.

Amanda, I'm trying to teach her self -reliance.

But if you prefer to coddle her, you go right ahead.

I'm sorry, are you accusing me of babying my baby?

Because I am her mother and I think I know when she needs me.

You were saying?

Ha!

You're happy your daughter's crying?

I'm happy you're wrong.

All right, I'm here.

Clock me in for 9.30.

It's 10.15.

I prayed on the way in.

That counts.

Mom.

Fine.

Call it 9.45.

Let me just finish up this payroll here and then we'll find some work for you to do.

No hurry, I'm just gonna lay down here and close my eyes for a minute.

Mary, the raccoons got into the communion wafers again.

Oh, hey Connie.

Didn't know you were here.

I'm just here to help out.

That's so nice.

Well, it's her community service for being arrested.

Still nice.

Well, the big guy appreciates it.

He'd really appreciate it if she actually did something.

Why are you like this?

I raised you to be cool.

I am plenty cool.

Anyway, if you have anything that you need help with, my mom is here to work.

Oh, well I do need my suit picked up from the dry cleaner.

Is that the dry cleaner next to the nail salon?

Yeah.

I am on it.

Or, you know what we could really use is someone to help organize the donation room.

That's a big job.

Too late.

I'm getting the suit.

I'll get it on my way to the bank.

That way you can start in the donation room instead of getting your nails done.

You're the boss around here.

What's your call?

Oh, actually, he's the boss.

What's that?

He says it's Mary's call.

Oh, my God.

We don't say that, but...

yeah.

This is gonna take forever.

How many hours is your community service?

180.

Then you better get cracking.

Maybe I'll get my nails done.

Hey, we got any fresh bankies?

I found this one in her diaper.

Drying rack.

Or... you could just let her soothe herself.

What do you mean?

Well, if you give her a pacifier every time she fusses, she'll never learn.

So I should just let her cry?

Whatever you think is best.

Can't you just tell me?

Hey, where's the binky?

Right here.

What are you waiting for?

Well, your mom was just saying if we give it to

her every time she's cranky, she'll never learn.

Oh, is that what she said?

I'm just trying to help.

I told you we don't need your help.

We don't?

What do you think?

Well...

Should I go after her?

You're her husband.

You decide.

Why won't anybody tell me anytime?

Six hours.

All day long.

For six lousy hours.

I gave you six.

You worked four.

Felt longer.

Most people work eight.

Most people get paid.

Most people don't commit crimes.

Sure they do. They just don't get caught.

How'd the first day of giving back to the community go?

I saw her in a pair of work pants that had a prosthetic leg still in it.

Shut up.

Oh, don't be so dramatic.

180 hours, Mary.

Only 174 to go.

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

Aren't you?

I got her on my ass.

I got Officer Thomason on my ass.

Who's that?

My probation officer.

Wait.

Rhonda Thomason?

You know her?

Yeah. Our kid's on varsity.

Nice lady.

Brings grapes to half time.

She could get the judge to reduce my hours, but she won't do it.

Like I said, nice lady.

By chance, would you talk to her for me?

I'm sorry.

Are you asking me for a favor?

Yes.

I didn't hear the magic word.

How about this?

Why don't you pay me back the money I gave you for the down payment on this house?

Thank you.

Was that so hard?

Is she asleep?

Yeah. Because I gave her a pacifier.

That's some good mothering.

How could you not take my side?

Sorry.

But we don't really know what we're doing.

I mean, I don't.

You are a natural.

We're her parents.

We should decide how to raise her.

Okay, but your mom's done this before.

I mean, she raised you.

You're pretty great.

You honestly think I'm going to fall for that?

No. You're way too smart.

Oh, cut it out.

And stop defending her.

I'm not defending her.

I was just taught to respect my elders.

I'm your elder.

When I say that, you get mad.

Yeah, because you shouldn't say it.

Yes, ma'am.

Do you think you're funny?

No, ma'am.

Hey, Rhonda.

Coach Cooper.

What a nice surprise.

Yeah, you know me.

Full of surprises.

Like that fake field goal against Plainview.

Oh, that was something.

But really, what are you doing here?

Well...

You may not know this, but one of your clients happens to be my mother-in -law.

Connie Tucker.

She's a character, ain't she?

And she asked you to come down here to see if I would go easy on her?

Why, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

Yeah.

Because she thinks she deserves special treatment?

You're just hitting the nail on the head today.

Let me ask you a question.

Would you give one of your players special treatment if they were ducking practice?

No.

If anything, I'm tougher on those kids.

So, if I understand you, you're saying I should be tougher on your mother-in-law.

I just made it worse, didn't I?

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

Yeah.

Okay, then.

Thanks for the grapes.

Finish the inventory.

Hey, Georgie.

I ran into Amanda's old pediatrician and he said he could take C.C.

on as a new patient.

Thanks, but she already has a doctor.

Yes, well, Dr. Talanda is the best.

Okay, look.

I know you're trying to help, but Mandy... Look at that.

I can't be right. Georgie, come here.

Walk with me for a minute.

Where are we going?

Shut up. Keep walking.

Are you med... What?

Why are you arguing with her?

I was just trying to be a good husband and take Mandy side.

Okay.

You know what a great time to take Mandy side?

When you're alone with Mandy.

And when you're with Audrey...

Take Audrey side.

Okay.

There's hope for you.

When you're alone with me in a closet, feel free to speak your mind.

Seems a little complicated.

Oh, it is. Yeah.

Life would be so much easier if they just realized how like they are.

Don't say that.

Don't ever say that.

We're alone in a closet.

You said I could speak my mind.

Yeah, yeah, but not that.

So where? Nowhere.

They...

Working hard?

Hey.

Oh.

What brings you by?

Your son-in-law dropped in to see me.

Oh, y'all know each other?

We do.

Small world.

It did not go your way.

No? - No.

Well, you can't blame a gal for trying.

Actually, I can.

Oh, come on.

There must be some criminals out there that you could be focused on.

Not some old granny with slot machines.

Go out there and harass somebody who actually deserves it.

You done?

Yes.

I think I am.

My turn.

You are a criminal.

And I can treat you however the hell I want because I own your tired old ass.

And I will make your life miserable unless you shape up and shape up fast.

Do we understand each other?

Yes, ma'am.

To be clear, what are you?

A criminal.

And what do I own?

My tired old ass.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna come back in a couple of days.

This room better be spick and span.

It will be, yes, ma'am.

Thank you, ma'am.

Oh, say hi to George for me.

Very good.

What did you say to her?

Nothing.

Just what a great granny you are.

And what a great great granny you are.

Well, you made it worse.

I'm sorry.

I did my best.

Well, your best stunk.

So now what?

I got no choice.

Gotta bring in the big guns.

Wow.

What a mess.

Yeah.

You want me to organize this whole room in two days?

I do.

Oh, boy.

Thank you, Meemaw.

Well, you can go ahead and cancel that appointment.

Thank you.

I'm gonna kill her.

What's going on?

My mother made Cece an appointment with a new doctor, and she didn't even ask.

What?

Oh, no.

I am furious.

As you should be.

You don't think I'm overreacting?

Not at all.

I agree with you.

Sometimes I just don't understand what she's thinking.

Well, how could you?

You two are just so different.

Thank you.

Toy.

Toy.

Taxidermy.

Toy?

Hi.

My name is Teddy Ruxpin.

Can you and I be friends?

Nightmare.

I'll start a new box.

How's it going?

What's he doing here?

Meemaw's letting me organize everything.

You're farming out your community surface to my son?

How about thanks for getting him to the church?

Come on, Sheldon. We are going home.

But I haven't even started on the hats yet.

There's so many different kinds.

Baseball, cowboy, hard.

Now!

You are unbelievable.

You think that the rules don't apply to you and that when

you get caught it just becomes everybody else's problem.

Oh, come on.

He's sorting out a room full of junk.

This is his Disneyland.

What about Georgie?

What about the gambling room?

He could have gone to jail.

I'm sorry.

I'm such a disappointment.

Yeah, me too.

Meats a little dry, isn't it?

No. I like it like this.

You don't think it's too salty?

It's perfect. I love your cooking.

My mom made this.

Oh.

Well, now that you mention it, it is a little dry.

I made it.

What are you doing to me?

For the past couple of days you've been agreeing with everything that I say.

You're right. - Stop it!

I'm sorry.

It was suggested to me that agreeing with you is the key to a happy marriage.

By my dad?

I don't recall.

Georgie?

By your dad.

Do my parents sound happy to you?

I don't know. They're still married.

Well, I want us to be better than that.

I agree. - Well, cut it out.

No, I meant that one.

Okay.

And if you want the truth, I think your mom was right about the doctor.

Excuse me?

Our doctor rubbed alcohol on one arm and gave C.C.

the shot on the other arm.

He did?

He did.

Look, your mom shouldn't have made an appointment behind

our backs, but our guy might be ready for the glue factory.

Maybe you're right.

I'm confused.

Do I like this or not?

What are you doing here?

Helping.

I thought I was a disappointment.

I could be disappointed with you and still not want you to go to jail.

Finished organizing the religious items.

I separated them by New Testament Hocum, Old Testament Hocum, and General Lonson's.

Also, Sheldon couldn't sleep knowing that the room was only half-organized.

It's true. It's like my brain was itchy and I couldn't scratch it.

Very irritating.

It was.

Very.

Well, I thank you both, but I should be doing this myself.

Yes, you should, but we're already here.

Great. I'm going to start on the books.

I invented my own Dewey Decimal System, but instead of decimals, I use fractions.

Forty hours. Not bad.

It might have been forty-two, but I rounded down.

And you did all the work by yourself?

Yes, ma'am.

You know, I called your daughter to check up on you.

Oh.

What'd she say?

She said you worked your butt off.

Well, there you go.

All right, then.

I'll see you next week.

You know, you were pretty rough on me the other day and

I just want to let you know that I appreciated that.

You do?

Well, I think it was the kick in the pants that I needed.

And since things are going so well, I was

wondering if you might want to reduce my sentence.

See you next week.

Bye now.

Bye.

I heard you took Cece to Dr. Talanda?

We did.

And he was very good.

Thank you.

No need to thank me.

I just want the best for my granddaughter.

Well, that's what we all want.

Funny thing.

Um, Talanda said it's actually okay for Cece to have her pacifier to sleep.

Who's raising this baby, him or you?

We are.

And I think we're doing a damn good job of it.

I was talking to my daughter.

Oh, I love this commercial.

The dog eats the cat food.

Georgie can talk, okay?

That's how our marriage works.

Excuse me, are you implying my husband isn't allowed to speak his mind?

Well, if we're going to put cards on the table, yeah.

That isn't true.

Tell him, Jim.

Like he can say anything now that you put him on the spot.

He isn't on the spot.

He is a grown man.

Speak.

Stop bossing him around.

He will speak when he wants to.

Oh, look.

I've been married to the man for 35 years.

I know what he wants.

Maybe what he wants is for you to get off his back.

Look who's an expert on marriage after one whole month.

Is everybody ready to race?

Yeah!

A new amazing race.
