Young Sheldon

Previously on Young Sheldon...

Well, I will watch this and let you know.

She was totally hitting on you.

All she did was rent a movie.

Yeah, and then she laughed and she touched your arm.

That's textbook flirting. I wasn't trying to.

All I'm saying is you're not tied down.

I'm getting parenting advice from a woman

whose 17-year-old son got my daughter pregnant.

Grow up, call your daughter, and make it right.

Now.

Well, I need... I said now.

I was gonna say

I need the phone number.

Do you have a pen?

Every culture has its own traditions to celebrate

important life events:

bar mitzvahs,

quinceañeras,

baby's first Comic-Con.

My favorites are funeral and baby shower.

They're the only two thrown in your honor

you're not expected to attend.

Love it.

Oh, and after we do gifts,

we could take pictures holding Mandy's belly.

No.

Okay.

Here's one.

We can fill baby bottles with juice

and see who can drink it the fastest.

Don't go drinking out of my bottle. Why?

'Cause it ain't gonna be juice.

When is this thing anyways?

Sunday.

Oh, shoot.

I got a date with Amber. I got to cancel.

You ain't invited.

But I'm the dad.

No boys allowed. Southern Living says so.

Who is Amber? A girl I'm seeing.

Does Mandy know?

Know what? Oh, nothing.

It was actually her idea.

What, Amber? Oh, yeah, I know.

She's divorced. What?

Don't worry, she ain't old.

It's just she got married too young.

Okay. Uh...

So, Mandy,

have you given any thought

to which friends or family you want to invite?

Well, given the circumstances,

I'm thinking maybe we keep it small.

'Cause your friends don't know about this?

They don't know about this. They don't know about that.

They don't know about any of it.

Can I invite your mom?

Um...

That's a no.

Well... we would love to have her,

but it's totally up to you.

Fine.

Great.

Is it great?

Oh, I thought of another game we could play.

First, you melt chocolate in a diaper... Keep thinking.

We're coming up with games to play?

Because I have a good one: intelligent animal technology.

For example, if rhinoceroses

were intelligent, how would they type?

This is for Mandy's baby shower.

Oh. I don't want to go to that.

Thankfully, it's for ladies only.

Yeah, even if you're the father.

Why do you want to go?

Well, I'm gonna be at the birth, but I can't go to the party?

How do you know she wants you at the birth?

Who's gonna catch the baby?

You may not want to be there.

It's a rough one.

George.

Oh, you're right, dear.

It's a beautiful event which I will never forget.

Wait, you said it was beautiful

and then made a face to imply that it wasn't.

So, which is it?

Oh, my God, Sheldon, it's disgusting.

He could've just said that.

Pretty good game Sunday,

if you want to watch with me instead. All right.

You should invite Mandy's dad and brother to join you.

It might be awkward. Don't really know them.

That's how you get to know them.

Yeah, yeah.

Wait, I don't have to watch football, do I?

No. Please don't.

Sweet.

Hi, Jim.

Hey, Mary. Good to see you.

You looking for some tires?

Actually, I'm looking for your wife.

Oh.

You're not gonna yell at her again, are you?

No, no.

Okay, you sure about that?

'Cause I wouldn't mind seeing it.

I just wanted to drop off an invitation

to Mandy's baby shower.

Oh. Well, that's-that's real kind of you.

And George is hoping that you'll come over

and watch the game with him and Georgie.

Huh. Well, that sounds like fun.

And your son is welcome, too.

All right, well, you know, Connor ain't all that much

into football or baseball.

Or, shoot, anything with a ball, really.

Well, if you do come,

I know that George is making brisket.

Brisket and football?

Well, you drive a hard bargain.

Hello, Mary.

Hi.

All right, well, I'm gonna go help, uh...

somebody.

I want to apologize

for getting off on the wrong foot last time.

Oh. You mean when you called me a terrible mother?

The important thing is you and Mandy are talking again.

Mm-hmm.

Anyway, I just wanted to drop off

this invitation to her, uh, baby shower.

Thank you for including me.

Of course.

You'd think her own mother would know

she was having a girl.

Well, Georgie wants it to be a surprise,

so she's barely told anyone.

She told you.

Barely.

Um...

you know what'd be great is

if you could come and help us plan it.

I'd like that. Thank you very much.

Then it's settled.

All right, please, uh, say goodbye to your husband.

Well, you can tell him yourself.

He's hiding behind that stack of tires.

Bye.

It's open.

Hello.

I was wondering

if I could have access to the lab on Sunday.

I'm not here on Sunday. Where will you be?

If I tell you that, you might go there.

Well, I told you where I'll be: the lab.

How about this? Here's the key. Go nuts.

But I'm a minor. I require adult supervision.

I won't tell anyone.

I will. I'm quite the tattler.

Then you'll have to wait till Monday.

But I'm trying to get out of the house on Sunday.

Why? The father and the brother of the woman

my brother impregnated are coming over to watch sports

with my brother and my father.

So you're trying to avoid a male bonding experience?

At all cost.

You know, son, as scientists,

we're often teamed with people that we don't know.

The ability to bond and build relationships,

that's-that's an essential skill.

So you're suggesting I use this gathering

as an opportunity to better those skills?

Exactly.

Very well. I'll give it a go.

Great. Would you like to join us?

I can't. Why? Where will you be?

So, I was thinking we could do something sweet and simple,

like a garden party.

Oh, that sounds good.

I know Mandy doesn't like to make a big fuss.

Since when?

That girl has always wanted to be the center of attention.

Oh, well, I guess you would know.

And garden party sounds lovely,

but maybe we could do something a little more fun.

Like princess

or "around the world"-- you know, all the places

she was gonna go, but now she can't

'cause she ruined her life.

I like princess.

Oh, great. I know this wonderful bakery

that makes a cake that looks just like a fairy-tale castle.

I was gonna make my German chocolate cake.

She's having a girl, not starting World War II.

Castle cake it is.

Yay.

Hello.

Ugh, nerd movies are over there.

No, I need to bond with Mandy's father and brother,
