Young Sheldon Season 7 Episode 6 Trailer: Georgie Ruthlessly Shoots Down Sheldon’s Best Man Hopes

Sheldon assumes that he is his brother’s best man, which Georgie immediately shoots down in the new Young Sheldon season 7, episode 6. Due to March Madness, Young Sheldon season 7 took a mini-break, leaving viewers waiting for a new offering in the last two weeks. Luckily, it seems like CBS is making the extended wait worth it as the upcoming Young Sheldon episode will see Georgie and Mandy finally start preparing for their wedding. While both are excited about it, Sheldon isn’t really about the role he will play in the occasion.

Ahead of the outing, CBS (via TV Promos) releases the official trailer for Young Sheldon season 7, episode 6, “Baptists, Catholics and an Attempted Drowning,” where Sheldon assumes that he will be his brother’s best man, but Georgie immediately says no. Watch the video below

Elsewhere in the clip, Mary excitedly declares the start of the preparations for Georgie and Mandy’s wedding. Previous details revealed about the upcoming Young Sheldon season 7 episode have confirmed that Sheldon isn’t the only one in trouble in the outing. Mary will also get a new nemesis in Audrey McCallister — Mandy’s mom.

Why Georgie Won’t Make Sheldon His Best Man In Young Sheldon?

Considering how annoying Sheldon has become in recent years, not to mention his gradual separation from the Coopers, it makes sense that Georgie doesn’t immediately peg the younger Cooper to be his best man. It also doesn’t help that early on in Young Sheldon, Sheldon’s existence made his older brother’s life miserable. Even Mandy’s reaction shows how ridiculous it is that the boy genius would even assume that he will have that big of a role in the wedding. That being said, upon further inspection, it appears as if Georgie doesn’t really have any other choice for his best man.

While The Big Bang Theory focused on the power of friends and social support system, with the Pasadena gang backing up Sheldon, Young Sheldon is a family show. Oddly, for someone who is supposed to be socially-inept, only the boy genius has had friends in the series. Missy has been referencing some of her peers, but the prequel never really shows them. Meanwhile, Georgie’s arc has been mostly centered on his dating life. Unless he plans on choosing Dale to be his best man, Sheldon is the only candidate for the role.

The first image from Georgie and Mandy’s Young Sheldon wedding confirms that Sheldon will be absent during the ceremony. It’s unclear why he isn’t in attendance, and more importantly, why the Coopers would even be open to pushing through with the event without the boy genius. As annoying as he is, Sheldon is still a member of the family. It’s also one of the last few events that they can celebrate as a complete unit.
