"They say your life passes before your eyes. All I saw was my brother licking jelly and putting it back in the jar," Sheldon narrates. The young Sheldon is more concerned about the cleanliness and avoiding contamination. So, when his mother frantically asks him to say something, all he can think about is the jar of jelly.
"You have to throw away that jelly," the young kid replies.
In the previous episode, titled "Poker, Faith, and Eggs," George suffered a minor heart attack and went to the hospital with Mary. With the parents gone, it was up to Meemaw (Annie Potts) to look after the children.
However, Georgie (Montana Jordan) took the keys to Meemaw's car while she was asleep and drove to the hospital with Sheldon and Missy (Raegan Revord). Sheldon, an atheist, prayed to Catholic mathematician Blaise Pascal for his father's recovery, figuring that the French theologian would pass his message to God.
"Young Sheldon" season 1 airs Thursdays, at 8:30 p.m. EST on CBS.
