After getting fired from their respective jobs, Mary was forced to go around town desperately looking for a new job.

George and Brenda's potential affair was the focus of Young Sheldon season 5's earlier episodes, stemming from their flirtatious evening in the season 4 finale.

With two more seasons of Young Sheldon already guaranteed, CBS has more than enough time to tackle this narrative.

Assuming that Mary retains her new job at the bowling alley with Brenda, then it will be interesting to see if she ever finds out about George's relationship with her.
