To help Sheldon with his decision, his older brother Georgie takes him to visit East Valley, where he meets a group of students who are not quite as gifted as he is. Sheldon is immediately put off by their lack of intelligence and deems East Valley as "inferior." However, when he visits Medford, he is put off by the strict dress code and long list of rules.
