It was episode like OK. Hmm when you're so smart as a Sheldon you would say someone like a principal or teacher about fight but it didn't happen which really disappoints me.

Oddly Toxic Episode

[darincarvalho · 2/10 · 14 May 2023]

This particular episode happened to irk me in a way few shows have. The episode begins with Sheldon practically bullying his brother, who we knew to be undergoing a hard time recently, from learning his crush already had a boyfriend. Sheldon receives no reprimand for his behaviour, constantly blackmailing his elder brother into doing silly things using his fear of another bully at school.

Meanwhile, Sheldon's twin Missy bears the consequences of lying and stealing makeup. While Sheldon gets away scot-free more often than not, his grievances are rarely this blatant.

The episode ends with Sheldon slinging a pebble at yet another bully, expecting a David-vs-Goliath outcome, but he ended up in a locker at the boy's changing room, with the narrator (Older/present Sheldon) claiming it was a long night.

Humor aside, this episode was oddly unrealistic of how brilliant children are to be brought up, and of how they are to acclimatise to society. Personally quite disappointed with the toxicity.
