Episode Review
The episode didn't particularly advance the plot, but it did have some fun sequences, especially the church protestors' fight against Meemaw, as well as everyone trying to convince Sheldon to side with them.
Especially Pastor Jeff, Meemaw and Principal Linda stood out in this episode because they were able to be witty, adding a lot of humor to the episode of the sitcom.
The show takes its time to build up the tension and reveal key debates later. Hopefully they won't take too long, as the storyline is pretty slow at this point and seems like they're beating around the bush.
