Even though it’s been on the cards since The Big Bang Theory,George’s deathhit fans like a juggernaut inYoung Sheldon Season 7 Episode 12
Bowing out after a sudden heart attack, the next episode isn’t just going to show his funeral, but “reimagine” George’s last day from Sheldon’s perspective.
AccordingtoTribLive, Sheldon “compares his father’s death to the demise of Spock in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and reimagines how Sheldon wishes his family’s final moments with his father had been less routine” in the Young Sheldon finale.
The report also hints that the final two episodes will “depict a positive future” and provide “closure” for fans.
Fans can already get a sense of what’s to come thanks to the trailer for theYoung Sheldon Season 7 finale. In flashback scenes, Sheldon can be seen telling George to wait, with George heading out of the door saying, “Bye, son.”
Episodes 13 and 14 — titled ‘Funeral’ and ‘Memoir’ — promise to be an emotional affair, not only because of George’s funeral but thanks to Jim Parsons’ return to the show.
As part of Young Sheldon’s finale, ‘Memoir’ will visit current-day Sheldon and Amy (Mayim Bialik) as he writes his memoir, looking back on howGeorge’s deathaffected him.
However, his cameo almost didn’t happen. Speaking to People, Parsonsexplained: “I felt a slight hesitancy when they first asked, just as I thought, I don’t really want to go revisit the character. But the way that they wrote it in was I thought [was] so beautiful that it ended up being like this little extra coda or whatever to my experience with the character.
