This is where the name ‘Shamy’ began, which I love because in Italy it sounds exactly like stupids :lol: and also where Stuart wears a Doctor Four costume, Howard proposes to Bernie, and Penny comes out of Raj’s room in the morning…
1. The robotic manipulation.
Sheldon and Amy are still texting each other, and after four months Penny still doesn’t know Sheldon has a girlfriend. She works in neurobiology. He insists they are not dating.
Penny has to drive Sheldon to his first date and then dine with them; then they start talking about the number of guys she’s been out with and how many she slept with.
Howard borrowed the robot-hand he designed for space, and after using it to hand out napkins, he uses it to masturbate but it gets stuck and dangerous, so he calls his friends and Leonard and Raj take him to the hospital where the nurse at the reception just turns the power off .
2. The cruciferous vegetable amplification.
Sheldon made studies to determine he’ll only live 60 more years, not enough to get his consciousness into an android and live forever, so he tries changing his habits. Brussel sprouts don’t work well with his stomach, jogging is a failure because he falls on the stairs, so he plans to stay safe in his bedroom.
Still, a man who invented Apple or something offers to sign his computer so he hurries out of his bedroom and hurts his ankle on the stairs.
3. The zazzy substitution.
Sheldon spends a lot of time with Amy and even takes her to eat with them, but still he says that she’s not his girlfriend. She acts just like Sheldon, and the guys don’t like her. When the ‘Shamy’ start discussing their work and each of them states their work is the most important one, they part ways.
Sheldon surrounds himself with cats so Leonard calls Sheldon’s mother who calls Amy and ‘forbids’ their relationship, so they decide to resume it.
The two of them give away all the cats giving every child who takes one a 20$ bill…
4. The hot troll deviation.
Howard sees again his imaginary Katee Sackhoff, followed by an imaginary Bernadette and an imaginary George Takei, until Katee and Takei leave. He broke up with Bernadette because she caught him making his “world of Warcraft” character have sex with another troll… so he asks Penny to talk to her and they agree to meet. Howard and Bernadette start going out again, they really like each other.
Raj and Sheldon are still working together apparently, and Raj buys himself such a huge desk the door to Sheldon’s office barely opens now. They start a war on who can more irritate the other.
5. The desperation emanation.
Leonard is down because he’s the only one alone, apparently even Stuart found a girl at comic-con, although he’s not too happy about it, so he asks Howard to meet a friend of Bernadette’s.
Sheldon freaks out when Amy tells him that she wants him to meet her mother. She tells him she does not believe in romantic love and only wants her mother to believe she has a boyfriend so she’ll leave her alone. So the two of them have a very weird, awkward video call with her mother.
Bernadette chooses a woman she met at self-defence class, but she’s quite… over the top.
6. The Irish pub formulation.
Raj’s sister Priya is in LA. First chance they’re alone, Priya kisses Leonard. She sneaks in after Sheldon goes to sleep, but when he tells her they could go out if he moved to New Delhi (… wow, really, come on…) she says “didn’t we have this conversation five years ago?” and “sweetheart, just because we have fun when I come to town doesn’t mean I want to have a serious relationship”.
She tries to sneak out but Sheldon sees her. Leonard wants to keep it a secret but it turns out he missed something on tv so Raj and Howard ask what was he doing that made him forget about that… and the truth comes out, along with other things the four had kept from the others.
7. The apology insufficiency.
Howard gets a place on a new Defence program, but because of it his friends might get a visit from the FBI for a check up on him. Female agent Page goes to Raj first, and he’s terrified he’ll be sent back to India, then to Leonard and he tries to be confident and asks her out, but she’s married. Then to Sheldon’s home. Sheldon talks a lot, of course, he always does, and he tells her “he crashed the Mars Rover while attempting to impress a woman” among many other silly things. So Howard does not get security clearance to work on that giant space laser. Feeling guilty, Sheldon tries to make up for it and talks again with agent Page, and ends up telling her that when he first met Leonard “he was on the verge of giving away rocket secrets to a North Korean spy”. Since Howard won’t accept his “I’m sorry”, Sheldon gives him ‘his spot’ on the couch.
For 94 seconds before he changes his mind.
Sheldon doesn’t like Dr Tyson - who is there with Raj - because “he’s responsible for the demotion of Pluto from planetary status”.
8. The 21-second excitation.
The boys are going to see a movie at midnight and at 5 Sheldon starts to worry they won’t get good seats. Despite the long long cue, when Wil Wheaton arrives he’s let in first. There are no more seats available, none for them… so Sheldon enters thru a back door and steals the movie so nobody else can see it either. They run away, being chased, and who knows how it goes…
Bernadette has a girls night planned with Penny and Amy wants to go too.
9. The boyfriend complexity.
Penny’s dad Wyatt is at her place and after Penny kisses Leonard in front of him, Penny has to explain to Leonard that she told her dad they’re back together because her dad actually approved of him. Leonard plays along and goes to dinner with them.
Wyatt loves Leonard. Eventually Penny tells her dad the truth and he’s very disappointed, but then Wyatt begs Leonard not to give up on her.
Raj spends the night observing a telescope findings, and Howard keeps him company, but he invited Bernadette too. Raj has to drink to talk to her and the two of them have fun mocking Howard together. He also drinks too much.
10. The alien parasite hypothesis.
The three girls are dining out when Zack enters the place and Amy gets weird. When she talks about it with Sheldon, and it turns out she was aroused, she wonders if Sheldon’s reaction might be jealousy. When he complains to Penny that Amy is not like him, she’s changed, “she’s horny”, Penny says that “he!” could do something, so Sheldon calls Zack to set a date for him and Amy to have sex… and Amy goes to meet him, but then Zack’s blank expression puts her off and she goes out with Sheldon.
11. The Justice League recombination.
Penny is with Zack again and the four boys mock him until he understands they think he’s stupid and leaves. They apologies and take him to the book store with them. Sheldon wants Zack to replace Leonard with the superman costume for Stuart’s annual costume party on New Year’s eve. So, it’s: Sheldon/Flash, Leonard/Green Lantern, Howard/Batman, Raj/Aquaman and of course Zack/Superman and Penny/Wonder Woman. Leonard is the one who can convince her to go and wear the black wig, and of course they win as best costume.
Stuart was Doctor Four :-)
12. The bus pants utilization.
Leonard suggests making an app with the other three boys. Sheldon takes charge and Leonard complains. Sheldon becomes impossible until they “fire him” and he becomes even worse. When they kick him out, Penny consoles him but gets tired of him and puts them back together, but… he’s just too Sheldon-y, and he’s with her again…
13. The love car displacement.
Amy invites Penny, as her “best friend” to an annual conference, and Penny accepts when they mention the free spa. Leonard drives Sheldon, Penny and Amy.
Bernadette drives Howard and Raj, but Sheldon sends Penny to the other car…
Bernadette meets Glen, an ex professor and ex boyfriend, and also a handsome big guy of 6.7
Howard is jealous and says stupid things, as he always does.
So, since Howard is a “complete and total ass” Bernie goes to sleep in Penny’s bed, but Amy has night terrors and kicks and bites Penny, so she goes to Leonard.
Leonard talks, hoping to do more than sleep, so Sheldon wakes up. Leonard won’t guarantee they won’t have coitus during the night, so Sheldon goes to Raj’s room. Then Sheldon kicks him out so Raj goes to Leonard’s room, interrupting their moment.
Next, morning, they’re all in the panel at the conference but they fight instead. Penny gets a ride back home from Glen. Everyone is upset on their way back home.
14. The Thespian catalyst.
Sheldon guest lectures some doctoral candidates and thinks he’s doing well, then the guys show him those guy’s comments. He feels really down because he feels he failed at teaching. Amy suggests acting lessons so he goes to Penny.
Bernie said Raj was cute and other compliments so now he starts fantasising about her.
Acting lessons are long and trying.
15. The benefactor factor.
The president of the university “invites” the boys to a fundraiser party, whether they want it or not.
Sheldon doesn’t go, and the other three don’t have fun. Amy argues her case well and Sheldon goes. He won’t be asked ever again.
A rich woman calls Leonard at home, they have dinner, then she kisses him. He is very uncomfortable at the idea of having sex for money, but then the next day she apologises, says his department will get the money anyway, then goes on seducing him with words.
Everybody thanks him and cheers.
16. The cohabitation formulation.
Howard keeps going home to his mum every night. Bernie would like to live together. The two of them, without his mum.
Leonard learns that Priya has been here two days, so he goes to her and they get back together.
Amy comes to comfort Penny.
Bernie wants Howard to make a choice and he moves into her apartment. He hasn’t even told his mother and then he expects her to do for him everything that his mum does, like making his meals and laundry and taking him to the dentist.
She sends him back to his mother.
Penny is a little jealous, yes.
17. The toast derivation.
Leonard and the guys hang out at Raj’s house because Priya’s there. Sheldon is upset. Amy explains to him that his group is Leonard-centric. Sheldon invites Stuart, Zach and Barry Kripke over. It doesn’t go as he planned. Barry and Zach sing together. Leonard and the guys kind of miss him and talk about him until he joins them. Leonard tweeted LeVar Burton to join them, but when he arrives, Barry, Zach and a seminaked Stuart are singing karaoke, so he leaves unseen.
18. The prestidigitation approximation.
All the guys agree with Howard to trick Sheldon into believing he can make an amazing card trick, so Sheldon goes crazy trying to figure out how he does it. Priya has Leonard wear contacts and change wardrobe, and she doesn’t want him to hang out with Penny anymore.
19. The Zarnecki incursion.
Sheldon called the police for a robbery because someone hacked into his warcraft account and took everything from him. The guys get together to find out who did it. Howard finds him and they drive to San Diego to confront him. Not only the guy says no,, he even steals Sheldon’s bat’leth. When the car stops, they call Penny for help. They tell her of their failure, so Penny turns her car and goes back to the guy. She kicks him and gets Sheldon’s stuff back.
20. The herb garden germination.
Amy gossips with Sheldon that Bernie might break up with Howard. Sheldon tells Leonard who tells Priya who tells him Raj is crushing on Bernadette. Leonard tells Penny and Priya tells Raj. Then Howard tells them he plans to propose to Bernadette. Amy and Sheldon discuss gossip together and they plan to plant an invented piece of gossip to monitor its spreading. So Amy tells Penny she had sex with Sheldon. Penny tells Raj. Leonard comes home after talking to Raj and he clearly heard it too. Then Bernadette asks Amy about it, in less than 24 hours everyone knows. When they’re all together, Howard proposes and she says yes! Next, Amy tells Penny she’s pregnant, and she’s not even downstairs yet that she meets Leonard who just read about it in a text…
21.The agreement dissection.
Sheldon starts on Leonard about the roommate agreement so Priya takes a look at it and everyone sort of gangs up on him. Sheldon takes refuge at Penny’s and ends up going out with her and the girls. They drink and fail to get him to kiss Aymy, since he’s never kissed a girl, then a Chinese taxi-driver takes them to a place where they can dance, since Sheldon knows classical dances like waltz and stuff. When Sheldon goes to Amy’s house, he meets Ricky the smoking monkey.
He talks to her about his problem with Priya, then she kisses him before throwing up. So Sheldon activates a self-destruct-like sequence on his computer, that if he doesn’t sign a new agreement he’ll send an email to Priya’s parents about her relationship with Leonard, so Priya forces Leonard to sign it.
22. The wildebeest implementation.
The girls are all against Priya, and Amy suggests Bernadette accepts her invitation to dinner to spy on her and offer her false information. Amy had no friends in school. The girls text each other, and they have Bernadette tell them she’s doing a 3d movie with Angelina Jolie and dating an astronaut, after Priya made a derogatory comment on her acting career. Raj takes some pills against social anxiety and he tries it out at a bar where yes, he can indeet talk to girls no problem, but then she runs away when he starts undressing. Completely.
23. The engagement reaction.
Howard’s mother has a lunch with Bernadette to get to know each other, then Howard tells his mum that they’re engaged. His mum ends up in a hospital so everyone goes there. Howard thinks she had a heart attack because of the engagement. Penny and Priya start talking and sort of getting along. Mrs Wolowitz if fine, it was not a heart attack, and after talking with her, Bernadette is angry at Howard: his mum had food poisoning and he made her think it was her fault. Sheldon ends up in quarantine after entering a biohazard room.
24. The roommate transmogrification.
Bernadette’s school is at an end, she’s becoming a doctor, and she already got “head hunted by a big pharmaceutical company”. The guys mock Howard because his wife-to-be will be more successfull than him, and richer. They have a fight when she buys him a Rolex.
Since Leonard is in bed with Priya, Raj goes to sleep in his bed and they decide to switch apartments for a while. Leonard fights with Priya because she’s going back to India and didn’t tell him, and in discussing this he tells her parents they’re dating.
After a night of drinking, Penny wakes up in bed with Raj and when she tries to sneak out, everyone is there, awake, to see her.
