Possible Resolution to a Big Bang Theory Plot Hole in Young Sheldon

A beloved character from Young Sheldon will be making a final appearance in the show, potentially resolving a long-standing plot from The Big Bang Theory.

Tam, Sheldon’s childhood friend who was last seen at Medford High School during Season 4, will be making a final appearance in Season 7 of Young Sheldon. A preview clip, which has recently gained popularity on TikTok, has fans speculating that Tam’s return may finally provide an answer to one of the most puzzling storylines in Big Bang Theory history: why Tam ended up on Sheldon’s list of enemies.

One TikTok comment reads, “So we’re going to find out why Tam is on Sheldon’s list of enemies?”Another comment agrees, saying, “Tam!! I’m crying!! It’s been such a long time.”

The sneak peek itself is quite simple, with Sheldon inviting Tam to join him for lunch. However, a misunderstanding arises when Sheldon suggests meeting at their former lunch spot in the library. With only four episodes left until the end of Young Sheldon, this scene may be the last time the two characters meet before their awkward reunion in Season 12 of The Big Bang Theory.

Just as the pair were about to begin a conversation, the scene abruptly cuts off, leaving fans curious about whether their upcoming talk will delve into the reasons behind Tam and Sheldon’s estrangement. As revealed in Season 12, Sheldon was upset that Tam did not join him in California and instead chose to complete his education in Texas, staying close to a girl he was dating at the time.

Young Sheldon fans who have closely followed the original show have always been bothered by the fact that Tam was never mentioned until this episode in TBBT.

“One fan expressed their disappointment with the show’s writers on Reddit, stating that they should be fired for the blunder. Another fan agreed, noting that Tam’s role in Young Sheldon seems to have significantly decreased compared to his close relationship with Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory.”

The seventh season of Young Sheldon will air on CBS until May 16, 2024. In the meantime, there are plenty of other great TV shows to stream this month.
