** Later on when Sheldon confronts Mary about the letter, she tells him to go to his room. Sheldon does but notes she didn't tell him to ''stay'' there, so he hops out the window to find George and ask him about the Caltech letter.

'''"A Secret Letter and a Lowly Disc of Processed Meat"''' is an episode of ''Series/YoungSheldon'' that first aired on April 30, 2020. Directed by Creator/AlexReid. Teleplay by Maria Ferrari, Tara Hernandez and Jeremy Howe, based on a story by Steven Molaro, Steve Holland and Connor Kilpatrick.
As has been abundantly established on ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', Sheldonwants loves spaghetti with hot dogs cut up in it, he's described the dish as "a real Italian treat." As of this ''Young Sheldon'' episode, Sheldon had never prepared this meal for himself, presumably always relying on Mary to make it for him.
So in this episode, he tries to make the spaghetti con hot dogs for himself. Cutting up the hot dogs, one slice rolls off the counter and under the refrigerator, leading Sheldon to discover that Caltech sent his parents an offer letter for the boy genius to attendcollege, but he and that university in California.
Georgeneed to convince Sr. was actually unaware of the letter, and other similar offer letters from other universities. Mary hid each letter from both her husband and Sheldon. George is more open to the idea of Sheldon going to Caltech, finding it more palatable than Sheldon going to an university in Germany (which has also made an offer).
So George convinces Sheldon to record a video titled ''Why Sheldon Cooper Should Go to College'', guest starring Prof. Sturgis (Creator/WallaceShawn) from East Texas Tech University.
-> '''Sturgis''': Hi, Mary. I know this must be a hard decision for you. I can't tell you how to parent your child. I don't have children. But I can tell you that in all my years in academia, I've never seen a mind like Sheldon's. He's truly extraordinary. And if you let himgo.
!!Tropes:
come here [to East Texas Tech], I promise we'll take good care of him.
Meanwhile, Connie learns that Dale (Creator/CraigTNelson) fired Georgie from the sporting goods store. Connie and Dale are currently not on speaking terms, "but we're about to be on yelling terms," Connie says.
