Several “Young Sheldon” fans noted that they were surprised by how much they reacted emotionally to George and Missy’s bonding scenes and the Season 6 finale in general. “I don’t think I’ve ever cried at a show like I did with this one. “Missy and George bonding moment was killer and then following it up with Connie’s house being destroyed,” one commenter wrote. Others agreed, with u/judgejudystan commenting: “I never thought this show would make cry so much.”

Even fans who weren’t as hot on the overall episode and its plotlines found the moment quite compelling. “I really didn’t like the use of a tornado to resolve everyone’s feelings after a fight for a second time, but they did it just as well as the first time,” u/bellowingburrito noted. “I cried at the end at Connie’s house and George’s ability to step in and protect himself and Missy. Incredibly endearing.”

Particular praise was heaped upon Raegan Revord’s performance as Missy, as fans found her to be the standout character of the episode. “Raegan was so good. Unbelievably talented actress,” u/darkdoesreddit opined. Others had similar words of positivity to say about the actor. “Raegan Revord is really shining in this episode,” u/BSB8728 wrote.
