Warning! Spoilers ahead for Young Sheldon season 7, episode 8.

With only episodes left until the Young Sheldon series finale, it's time for the Big Bang Theory to start connecting some big storylines with its main characters, and a big one was finally made in Young Sheldon season 7, episode 8, titled "An Ankle Monitor and a Big Plastic Crap House." In the eighth episode of the final season of Young Sheldon, Georgie's future is laid out for him and is starting to match up to his career in The Big Bang Theory as the owner of Dr. Tire, the largest tire chain in Texas.

New beginnings is the key theme to Young Sheldon season 7, episode 8, with Georgie and Mandy moving into Mandy's parent's home, Sheldon studying to become a lawyer, and Meemaw facing the idea of life without her businesses following her arrest. This article looks at how Georgie and Mandy's "fresh start" paves the way for not only Georgie's future in The Big Bang Theory timeline, but also for CBS' upcoming Georgie and Mandy spin-off, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage.

Georgie's Big Bang Theory appearance in season 11, episode 23, "The Sibling Realignment," informs viewers that adult Georgie is the founder and owner of a chain of tire stores called Dr. Tire. While much of Georgie's time as a teenager on Young Sheldon paints him as the dimwitted country boy who dropped out of high school, the eldest Cooper kid has always been a hard worker.

Meemaw's arrest and shutdown gambling room also meant Georgie was out of a job. During Young Sheldon season 7, episode 8, the Cooper's toilet becomes unusable, forcing the family to use a porta potty in the backyard, but Georgie, Mandy and baby CeeCee ultimately decide to move in with Mandy's parents.

Mandy's mom, Audrey, isn't too thrilled with Georgie's participation in the illegal gambling room or his lack of a new job, and she makes it known. And though Mandy's dad, Jim McAllister, sees Georgie without a job and wants to help out his son-in-law, Audrey refuses.

However, Georgie goes out of his way to please Mandy's mom and get her to like him, which he begins to do by the end of the episode, leading Jim to offer Georgie a position working with him at his tire store - thus the big connection to Georgie's Dr. Tire business in The Big Bang Theory.

• Georgie very briefly works as a bag boy at a grocery store during Young Sheldon season 7.
