"Albert Einstein and the Story of Another Mary" is an episode of Young Sheldon that first aired March 7, 2019.
Inspired by his hero, Albert Einstein, Sheldon tries his hand at the violin. Mary and Meemaw secretly buy a pregnancy test when Mary thinks she's pregnant.
Tropes:
- Be Yourself: Sheldon eventually decides to further emulate Einstein by converting to Judaism, and calls a rabbi to make it official. The rabbi advises him to not just remain a Baptist, but also to not go to extremes to emulate his hero, stating that God won't ask why he wasn't another Einstein, but might ask why he wasn't the best Sheldon he could benote .
- Doomed by Canon: Since adult Sheldon has only two siblings, and there's practically no possibility of Mary getting an abortion, we already knew she would lose the baby. Still doesn't make it any less sad.
- Entertainingly Wrong: Right after Mary and George accept the possibility of having another child, Sheldon walks in to announce his decision to stick to his current (lack of) religious belief, and Future!Sheldon narrates how he thought it was his announcement that brought his mother to joyful tears.
