Spoilers for 'Young Sheldon' 

CBS's 'Young Sheldon' aired Season 4 Episode 4 'Bible Camp and a Chariot of Love' on December 3, 2020, but fans are going to have to wait for a bit for Episode 5. Next week, on Thursday, December 10, 2020, an old episode titled 'Pongo Pygmaeus and a Culture that Encourages Spitting' will air and then the following week Friday, December 17, Season 4 Episode 5 'A Musty Crypt and a Stick to Pee On' will air. The synopsis of the upcoming episode reads, "Dale and Meemaw work out relationship issues while playing Dungeons and Dragons with Sheldon and Missy. Also, Mary and George take a trip with Coach Wilkins (Doc Farrow) and his wife, and Georgie freaks out when his girlfriend thinks she's pregnant."

'Bible Camp and a Chariot of Love' saw Georgie buy a van with his own money only for him to give it back later - it had a mouse, he was living in it, and he wasn't allowed to take his date out in it. None of that works for a young man. The next episode 'A Musty Crypt and a Stick to Pee On' will most likely get intense as said in the synopsis, because if his girlfriend is pregnant that he has some growing up to do ASAP. But, we're happy to say that a bit of Meemaw will be back in the episode, as in the past two, there weren't many scenes of her. In Episode 4 we only saw her when Georgie tried to use her bathroom because he didn't have one in the van and wasn't allowed to use the one in his home. Her relationship with Dale is quite hilarious and brings a fresh comedic perspective when we take breaks for the center young Sheldon.

In case you want to tune in next week to 'Pongo Pygmaeus and a Culture that Encourages Spitting', here is the synopsis of that episode which originally aired on November 14, 2019. "When Sheldon gets a modem, he starts a flame war on a physics discussion board. Meanwhile, Meemaw is concerned when George spends time with her new boyfriend, Coach Dale. And when Missy joins the baseball team, she experiences pushback both on and off the baseball field."

'Young Sheldon' airs on Thursdays at 8 pm EST on CBS.
