Missy's attitude turns some fans off while others are sympathetic
Missy Cooper's conduct in "Teen Angst and a Smart-Boy Walk of Shame" is out-of-character from her normally perceptive and understanding disposition. By the end of the episode, when Missy decides to run away from home by stealing her father's truck, things become much more real, very quickly on the sitcom.
For fans who saw her actions from a standpoint of pain, it was an emotional moment. Redditor u/Freddie444x observed, "Missy deserves so much better. I almost cried at the end when George was sitting all alone on the chair. Missy and George deserve better, especially poor missy." And u/sagen11 added further context by calling out Mary's favoritism for Sheldon over her other children, which Missy herself has spoken up about to no real response or explanation from her mother. This has been an ongoing theme throughout the series as the central character is Sheldon Cooper (Iain Armitage) and his intelligence often earns him special treatment when compared to both Missy and Georgie (Montana Jordan).
But the character's objectionable attitude was also called out in relation to how she acted towards new mother Mandy (Emily Osment). On Twitter, @mylessspike86 criticized the teen for verbally laying into Georgie's wife after just giving birth to their new baby.
