It's never too late to discuss your favorite show's finale one more time.

Young Sheldon 's season 6 finale created a lot of buzz as it was claimed to be the most heartbreaking. Although it didn't end on a cliffhanger, the future of the characters is still on hold while we wait for season 7.

One of the best moments that fans actually pointed out from the two-episode finale was Missy's heartfelt apology to George about acting up.

They've said that the two of them together after the tornado hit the city was actually the moment nobody could hold back their tears.

Driven by the adrenaline, Missy cracks up and makes a heartbreaking apology to her father for behaving so badly.

It's arguably the best scene in the Young Sheldon season 6 finale, but the moment is ruined in light of what the adult Sheldon's narration earlier revealed about what's in store for Missy during the upcoming summer vacation.

In the same Young Sheldon season 6 finale, the adult Sheldon reveals via voiceover that Missy will end up sneaking out countless times while he and Mary are in Germany.

It was actually the very thing that cheapened the overwhelming moment between father and daughter.

And as if what he already said was not enough, Sheldon also reveals that she is getting her bellybutton pierced at the same time. Without George knowing, of course.

And frankly, it's still not entirely clear why Young Sheldon would choose to blatantly contradict itself, especially since the adult Sheldon's narration has no real narrative significance other than being funny.

Still, fans are hoping that season 7 will bring something good to Missy's story and redeem her character a little bit.

Because it seems that after being criticized for a long time for not giving Missy a bigger role in the show, the writers have now decided to give her one, but with the side bonus of completely destroying her character.
