"A Therapist, a Comic Book, and a Breakfast Sausage" is an episode of Young Sheldon that first aired November 16, 2017.
After almost choking to death on a breakfast sausage, Sheldon refuses to eat solid food, worrying his parents, who send him to a child therapist. While this fails, an unusual source provides a solution.
Tropes
- Call-Forward: Sheldon tells Tam that he's in his seat, echoing "his spot" in Big Bang Theory.
- Compressed Vice: Sheldon develops a phobia of solid food after choking on a sausage. It only lasts until the end of the episode, when his discovery of X-Men comics gives him the courage to face his fear.
- Innocent Innuendo: When Sheldon gets to school and tells everyone that he choked on a sausage, they all find that hilarious. One of the students asks how big it was, Sheldon gives an honest response, and everyone finds his response funny. Sheldon has no idea why everyone was laughing.
- Pity the Kidnapper: Sheldon goes somewhere without telling anyone, making his parents frantic as they try to track him down. George attempts to lighten the mood by saying that there's no way Sheldon is being held prisoner somewhere; after a very short while, the kidnapper would beg them to take him back.
