A Proper Ending To Paige's Story
Young Sheldon has been able to craft a compelling personal arc for Paige, despite her not being a main cast member. Season 6 significantly moved her story forward, but her fate is still in limbo. It's imperative for the prequel to craft a proper ending for her, considering The Big Bang Theory never even mentioned her. Regardless of her upcoming fate, Young Sheldon mustn't leave it hanging.

Georgie and Mandy's Wedding
Mandy and Georgie's romance is one of the best original arcs in Young Sheldon. Despite The Big Bang Theory indicating that their relationship isn't meant to last, Young Sheldon needs to give them the best ending possible. The season 6 finale saw them getting engaged, and their story in season 7 is expected to be about the preparations leading to the event. However, the prequel should go all the way and show them tying the knot, leading to their upcoming spinoff.

A Final Sheldon and Dr. Sturgis Team-Up
More than any academic pursuits, it's important to see Sheldon work closely with Dr. Sturgis again in his final year at East Texas Tech. Despite being the boy genius' real mentor, The Big Bang Theory did not feature or even reference the eccentric professor. Young Sheldon needs to make up for that by ensuring that he gets his due.

Georgie's Entrepreneurial Beginnings
Young Sheldon previously hinted at Georgie's entrepreneurial skills, and the spinoff needs to at least lay the foundation for Dr. Tire before it ends. This will pave the way for further exploration in the upcoming offshoot, making it essential for Young Sheldon to address this storyline.

Missy Fully Redeeming Herself
Young Sheldon season 6 set up Missy's redemption arc, and the spinoff needs to properly develop her personal journey. Without this, there's a risk of further ruining the character, especially after introducing her rebellious storyline in the previous season.
