We’d never fault loving mom Mary Cooper (Zoe Perry) for her overprotective ways, but hiding a college acceptance letter for young genius Sheldon (Iain Armitage) may be going too far.

“It creates a lot of friction among the entire family,” notes executive producer Steven Molaro — and George Sr. (Lance Barber) is especially riled.

“He has a lot to say. He’s tired of feeling like he isn’t as much of a parent to Sheldon as Mary is.”

And keep your eyes peeled during the prequel’s season-capper for a Big Bang Theory Easter egg. Teases Molaro: “There is a really fun one lurking near the end of this episode.”
