I love that the show is confronting the psychology behind their actions. I thought it wasn’t only hilarious but a brilliant exploration of the characters at this point in their lives. I’m surprised by how much negativity people here seem to be having towards this episode. Which still means, at the end of the day, he’s more likely to end up in a relationship with a woman. I’d put him at a 1 (“Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual”). I wouldn’t say that Raj is a complete 0 on the Kinsey scale (completely heterosexual) but neither is he a 4 (“predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual”). Our culture doesn’t seem to understand the idea of non-sexual love. Isn’t it a better message that there are straight people with stereotypically gay tastes who actually do defy the stereotype? And, yes, Raj is *very* close to Howard, but again, there’s this problem that Western culture seems to have with affectionate heterosexual friendships. Ha, yeah, and I have seen some people complain that Raj isn’t being revealed as gay…but just because he has a large number of certain qualities doesn’t mean he has to be gay. Though the Wolowitzes snipe at each other to begin with, Penny and Leonard’s fight causes them to realize that their argument is petty, and they go home to do laundry and hang out together. But when he drops it – oops – Leonard invites the pair to join his romantic meal with Penny. HOWARD AND BERNADETTE | Wolowitz hoped to woo Bernadette, who’s stressed from long days at work, by using CalTech lab equipment to write their initials in a heart 1/1000th the size of a grain of sand. (Little does she know, being Sheldon’s ICE number might turn out to be a full-time job.) Say it with me (and the studio audience) now: Aww. “This is the most beautiful gift you could’ve given me,” she says through tears, tackling him in a big hug. No gifts.” – because that’s what Sheldon wants most, he’s moved and gives her a token of affection, anyway: a form noting that she’s been added as his “in case of emergency” contact at work. ![]() But when Amy cancels their plans – “No dinner. He rejects the harp music box and Canterbury Tales map she finds, then keeps a rare signed print of a hand-drawn brain cell illustration for himself. SHELDON AND AMY | Sheldon pulls a Don Draper and orders Alex to shop for his girlfriend’s Valentine’s gift. Y&R’s Brett Hadley, Who Played Carl Williams, Dead at 92 “It’s all on you.” With that settled, they get back to V-Day business: sexy-romance-ninja-fun times. ![]() So, much like Bones‘ Seeley Booth, Leonard generously offers exactly what his woman wants: “I promise I will never ask you to marry me again,” he says, saying that when she’s ready, she’s got to do the proposing. ![]() “The whole thing just freaks me out,” she says. At home, Penny confesses that her marriage issues are even bigger than we previously thought. “This one does, and you’re the reason why!” he shoots back. “I told you, Valentine’s Day sucks!” she grouses. Leonard urges his girlfriend to let it go, but she can’t. LEONARD AND PENNY | Deeming himself a “romance ninja,” Leonard plans the perfect romantic dinner at a restaurant, despite Penny’s assertion that Valentine’s Day “never works out.” Their evening begins well but hits a Cupid-sized speedbump when Penny’s ex and his new love – her former pal Gretchen – get engaged just tables away from where the blonde and her brainiac sit.
