George’s monologue about feeling invisible. Skip it if: You need a heavy dose of Sheldon’s Asperger’s-coded antics (he’s charming but low-key here).

Missy stealing Sheldon’s “science fair journal” and replacing diagrams with stick figures is a laugh-out-loud moment. But when the volcano fails, Missy doesn’t mock him—she lies to their parents, saying it worked perfectly, to spare Sheldon’s feelings. It’s a small, unspoken act of love that shows how much she’s grown. young sheldon s04e14 bd5

The resolution—attending both churches on alternate Sundays—is a beautifully mature compromise rarely seen on network sitcoms. Iain Armitage and Raegan Revord have perfect comedic timing
