A Surprising Omission
Fans of "Young Sheldon" were left puzzled when the show seemed to skip over a crucial event from "The Big Bang Theory" lore: Sheldon walking in on his father, George, having an affair. This moment, which Sheldon claimed was the reason for his peculiar habit of knocking three times before entering a room, was notably absent from the series. Instead, the show’s seventh season finale chose to reveal a different side of the story.

In a twist that no one saw coming, "Young Sheldon" Season 7, Episode 4, "Ants on a Log and a Cheating Winker," disclosed that Sheldon had misunderstood what he saw that fateful day.
