There seems to be trouble in the Cooper household about the family's financial status. On the next episode of television series "Young Sheldon," things are heating up between Mary (Zoe Perry) and George Sr. (Lance Barber).

Episode 12 of the series, titled "A Computer, a Plastic Pony, and a Case of Beer," Sheldon (Iain Armitage), once again asks for a computer. Sheldon's request results to Mary and George Sr. getting to each other's nerves. Mary then decides to stay with Meemaw (Annie Potts) in the meantime, while George Sr. keeps himself busy by listening to Georgie's (Montana Jordan) relationship dilemma.

Fans got a glimpse of Sheldon's mortal enemy list for the first time in the episode's promo video. There are only five names on the list including his neighbor Billy Sparks, Dr. Karl Eberland, Dr. Ronald Hodges, Georgie Cooper, and Matilda Sparks (Billy's chicken). Other known people on Sheldon's list are Star Trek star Will Wheaton, Leslie Winkle, Barry Kripke, and Penny.

There are still no spoilers if Sheldon will indeed get his computer at the end of the episode and how will Mary and George Sr. work things out. Missy (Raegan Revord) in the teaser trailer simply caught people's attention with her quick comments and adorable attitude.

Episode 11, "Demons, Sunday School, and Prime Numbers," generated over 14.17 million viewers according to TV By The Numbers. "Young Sheldon" started the year 2018 with a bang after episode 10 attracted 14.70 million viewers.

The cast and production are hoping the numbers to go up with the upcoming episode. Episode of the first season will air today at 8:30 p.m. EST on CBS.

There are still no words from the showrunners on their plan for the second season. The show was renewed for season 2 during the first week of January.
