Young Sheldon S02e14 240p

Sheldon eventually gets to attend the church retreat, where he meets a new friend, a fellow nerd named Howie. However, things take a turn when Sheldon's competitive nature gets the best of him, and he ends up getting into a confrontation with one of the retreat leaders.

The "Slump" in the title refers to Sheldon Cooper. For a character defined by his intellect, hitting a mental wall is a catastrophic event. Sheldon finds himself struggling with a scientific problem he cannot solve. This storyline does an excellent job of humanizing a character who often feels alien. We see Sheldon not as the infallible genius, but as a frustrated child terrified that his only worth—his mind—might be failing him. young sheldon s02e14 240p
