I think this episode shows the importance of a support system for any child, even a genius one. Paige, although not being as asocial as Sheldon, but she shares a lot with and feel extremely lonely and can't see the purpose in her natural talents.
Sheldon never really cares about what people think of him because it's a default for him that he has his parents, Meemaw, Missy. Having mostly healthy family environment also helped him to re-create some similar relationships in TBBT as an adult, while Paige felt lost and unwanted after he parents fallout. Perhaps I put too much thought in a sitcom, but I really grew to love that family :sparkling_heart:
Also, I like Mary more now that she's out of church :see_no_evil: It's like she's finally remembering who she is and who she was before, and Mandy kinda reminds her of herself, so she gets a little territorial with her.
Sheldon’s character arc tends to be a bit monotonous at times. This makes Missy interesting, since we know her from the original series. But not so much as to predict the character’s story arc. I also like Paige since she is also an unknown character and we don’t know what happens to her. By this episode in Young Sheldon, it’s very clear for BBT fans what’s coming for Sheldon’s dad and mom, tragic as it may be.

Am I the only one who thinks Paige something dramatic will happen to Paige in the series? Despite her relationship with Sheldon, we never see her in Big Bang Theory. I hope there will be an explanation for this in the future.
