“Wow, you really do love her,” Bernadette says.
I enjoy how harp music causes her fingers to dance, as if she’s playing along.” “Her eyes sparkle when she watches old French movies. “(Amy) loves medieval literature - Chaucer’s her favorite,” Sheldon says sweetly. Sheldon logic continues when he and Bernie make a pit stop at the mall, and Bernadette shares that the best gifts she’s gotten from Howard are the ones that show how well he knows her. He and Amy agreed not to exchange gifts with each other, so, he tells Bernadette as she’s driving him to Amy’s dinner that he is going to get Amy a gift, a really great gift, which will make her feel really awful, because she, as per their agreement, will not have a gift to give him. For example, though he reluctantly agrees to celebrate the holidays Amy-style, he’s still ticked off that she kissed him under some mistletoe in public, “like we were the stars of a Tijuana sex show.” To retaliate - again, he’s still Sheldon, and in love with his girlfriend or not, this public display of affection combined with the holiday celebrating he loathes cannot go unchecked - he plots a Christmas-themed revenge. It’s the biggest and best growth we’ve seen in Sheldon throughout the last couple of seasons, and it’s a maturity that’s come without compromising who the character is at his core. That gives Amy Farrah Fowler the chance to hold the traditional Victorian Christmas she’s always dreamed of, and the whole group is onboard with the idea … except Grinchy McGrinchmas, Sheldon, who objects because of the figgy-puddingness of it all (“English pudding … you get yourself all excited for pudding, and here comes a cake with raisins in it”).Īmy tells him he’s going to participate, though, and he goes along with it, a move that’s another sign of how comfortable and, more important, reciprocal, he’s finally become in their relationship.
Because Raj’s ‘rents have begun divorce proceedings and Papa Koothrappali has flown in from India to crash with his son for the holidays, Raj can’t host the gang’s Christmas dinner. The bumbling-geniuses-chasing-a-bird portion? Not so much.įirst, the good stuff. The “A Very Sheldon and Amy Christmas” portion? Hit. Like many an episode in this eighth season, “The Clean Room Infiltration” was hit-or-miss.
