Page "New York Stories" Paragraph 10

Although he is furious at first, this development turns out to be great for Sheldon because, with her out of his life, he can finally relax.

But soon, to his horror, his mother reappears in the sky over New York City.

She begins to annoy Sheldon and Lisa ( with the whole city now watching ) by constantly talking to strangers about his most embarrassing moments.

This puts a strain on his relationship with Lisa, who leaves him.

Sheldon is persuaded by his psychiatrist to see a psychic, Treva ( Julie Kavner ), to try to get his mother back to reality.

Treva's experiments fail, but Sheldon falls for her, possibly finding her to be very similar to his mother ( see Oedipus complex ).

When he introduces Treva to his mother, she finally approves and comes back to Earth.
