Young Sheldon's finale missed a Meemaw twist.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Although Young Sheldon’s series finale seemed perfectly positioned to explain Meemaw’s character change in The Big Bang Theory, the spinoff’s final episode ended up making this shift less understandable. Young Sheldon’s cast of characters all changed between the spinoff and The Big Bang Theory.

Meemaw Didn’t Share Mary's Reaction To George Sr.’s Death Meemaw Was More Measured In Her Grief Close Ironically, Meemaw’s newly stern demeanor in The Big Bang Theory makes less sense after Young Sheldon’s series finale since she took the death of George Sr. in her stride. Meemaw was worried by Mary’s intense reliance on prayer after the traumatic event, and season 7, episode 14, “Memoir,” saw her confront her daughter about her increasingly zealous faith.

Young Sheldon Season 7 Already Hinted At Meemaw’s Character Change Meemaw’s Arrest And Meeting Rhonda Changed Her When she confronted her at George Sr.’s grave, Meemaw told Mary she needed to get back to spending time with her kids. Meanwhile, she told the kids that they needed to give their mother’s grief some space. These approaches both backfired badly, with Mary doubling down on her prayer in defiance of Meemaw and Sheldon’s decision to get baptized only strengthening Mary’s faith.

Earlier in season 7, Young Sheldon had already hinted at the potential causes of Meemaw’s character shift before The Big Bang Theory began. Meemaw seemingly calmed down after her arrest, while her strict parole officer Rhonda forced her to take things seriously for once. The obvious conclusion of this character arc would have been Meemaw taking a more active role in helping out Sheldon, Missy, and Georgie after George Sr.’s death, since Mary was busy praying.
