The young Sheldon and Mary relationship honors TBBT.
Early on in The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon had a quite tight bond with his mother. The basis of the previous seasons of the prequel was this: the rest of the children feel left out while the boy genius is usually coupled with his mother. This specific problem surfaced a few occasions, with George and Meemaw stepping in to cover for Mary's major attention on Sheldon. This also underlined Georgie's and Missy's bond, which turned out to be among Young Sheldon's best combinations.
But revisiting the very first lovely exchange between Sheldon and Mary in the premiere brought home just how crucial their friendship is to the whole series. Following George's untimely passing and later funeral, each Cooper handled the event differently. Sadly, the Young Sheldon conclusion left a few unresolved stories given the little screen time available. But revisiting the very first lovely exchange between Sheldon and Mary in the premiere brought home just how crucial their friendship is to the whole series. Although the two lacked an on-screen farewell as Sheldon traveled to Texas and relocated to California, the baptism narrative revealed that their connection is still strong despite numerous life events and final separation.
The most ridiculous arc in Young Sheldon's Finale was a pilot callback, producer explains
Steve Molaro, the showrunner for the Young Sheldon finale, reveals that the most surprising storyline sprang from a callback to the pilot episode. Originally about Sheldon and his early years in Texas, it aired following The Big Bang Theory when Young Sheldon first debuted in 2017 It developed over time to become a real family dramedy, which was underlined in the poignant Young Sheldon Finale. Though George's death dominated the last half hour of the show, it turned its attention back to moving Sheldon to California.
But Sheldon grants his mother's wish for him to be baptized in Young Sheldon season 7, episode 14, "Memoir," before he leaves Texas. Mary almost forced the twins to get baptized since she knew they would go to hell without it. But Sheldon shockingly pushes through as Missy backs out at the last minute. Holland said in an interview with Variety that this is allusion to the pilot episode. See the entire quotation below:
Friends and colleagues join the Coopers for George's burial, but the Young Sheldon finale is more moving without one family member present.
Young Sheldon finished with Mary and Sheldon on cordial terms, but the same cannot be said of Missy. George's daughter went back to lashing out and nobody appeared to be able to reach her. Though sad as this was, it faithfully portrayed Mary's interactions with her twins decades into the future as presented in The Big Bang Theory.

The beginnings of Young Sheldon's most ridiculous arc
It felt very true that Mary was dragging her children to church and in the wake of George Sr.’s death, was very worried about their souls and their family. We were discussing what might happen in the episode involving Sheldon getting ready to go [to Caltech]. One of our writers, Connor Kilpatrick, had also pointed out that, in the Baptist church, one does not get baptized until they are a teenager and can make that decision for themselves. For Mary particularly before she sent Sheldon off to college knowing his soul was safe, it would be absolutely vital. To her, that sounded like a quite credible motivation. It felt like it provided you a moment at the conclusion whereby Sheldon could repeat the pilot or the early episodes in which he declared, "I don't believe in God, but I do believe in you." And from what we know from "Big Bang Theory," Missy's wrath and disappointment at Dad dying leaves her in a somewhat more damaged state.

An Offshoot of The Big Bang Theory
Born in Texas, young Sheldon, a spinoff of the comedy The Big Bang Theory, chronicles Sheldon Cooper's early and teenage years as he pursues science and academics. Additionally seeing his parents, brothers, and Mee-Maw gives a window into the world Sheldon grew up in.
Young Sheldon added a fantastic fresh element to the TV scene. The news of what the Coopers have ahead will make the show's viewers happy. The popularity of the series will probably mean years of on-air presence.
