* LockedOutOfTheLoop: The basis behind Georgie and Sheldon's feud. Sheldon assumed that after his father died, his mother was fine because she would have told him if things weren't when he went to college and Georgie was a stubborn bully. Georgie reveals that no, things weren't fine and their mother was having a breakdown. As a result, he had to drop out of college to start supporting the family. No one told Sheldon because he was the baby, and Georgie says he didn't want to burden his little brother. There is a {{Beat}}, where Sheldon admits he can be oblivious and apologizes, having a JerkassRealization. Georgie forgives him because he realizes that Sheldon didn't know how hard his older brother worked to keep things together, because no one ''told'' him.
