The universe might have helped Sheldon choose, but not everyone can be so lucky. Meemaw (Annie Potts) has been under house arrest since the police busted her gambling room, but those were not the consequences of her actions. The punishment is in Young Sheldon Season 7, Episode 10, "Community Service and the Key to a Happy Marriage," as Meemaw is sentenced to community service under the watchful eye of a probation officer. Academy Award Winner Octavia Spencer guest stars as Officer Thomason, Meemaw's probation officer, and they don't have the smoothest relationship. When Officer Thomason lays out the law, the episode's promo sees things get real for Meemaw.

Meemaw has escaped many tough situations by sheer wit and feigning innocence. She has used her advanced age to guilt people into giving her a pass, but that card was bound to expire at one point, and it does so with Officer Thomason. Meemaw thinks she can charm her way out of legal obligations, but the officer sees past the trick. She is as tough as they come, and Meemaw gets the full picture when she threatens to send Meemaw to jail. "Do you understand I have the power to throw you in jail?" she posits to a stunned Connie. Will Meemaw be able to break through the officer's tough persona?

Georgie (Montana Jordan) is a family man now. Episode 9 saw him try to learn to speak properly for the sake of his daughter, showing his commitment to becoming a good dad. However, he is still Mandy's (Emily Osment) husband, and while they have been sailing smoothly, every marriage needs tending. Georgie and Mandy's dad have a heart-to-heart, and he walks away from the conversation with solid marriage advice.
