Spoilers for 'Young Sheldon' Season 4 

The last episode, Season 4 Episode 4 'Bible Camp and a Chariot of Love' aired on December 3, 2020, but this week, we're not getting a new Episode 4. Instead, on Thursday, December 10, 2020, an old episode titled 'Pongo Pygmaeus and a Culture that Encourages Spitting' will air. A new episode titled 'A Musty Crypt and a Stick to Pee On' will air next week on Thursday, December 17 at 8 pm EST on CBS. 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." As for upcoming episodes past December 17, 2020, the dates and titles are yet to be revealed by the network. 

The reason why the show is on break this week could be due to the fact that the production of new episodes might be slightly slower. Also, it is important to note that this may be the last episode this year, because it doesn't seem likely that CBS will air new episodes on December 24 or December 31. Many shows take a break for the winter, so this isn't too new. But next week seems to be an intense 30 minutes, as there is a lot going on, but we have to say how Georgie may deal with the possibility that his girlfriend may be pregnant. It's interesting because this season we're seeing all the Cooper kids grow up along with all their growing pains - Sheldon is getting ready to go to college, Missy got her period and now Georgie may become a father! For us, because we've been watching since Season 1 when the kids were so tiny, Season 4 is an absolute blast.
 
If you are set to tune in this 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.
