*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This is another episode of "The Big Bang Theory" from last season I previously missed when it first aired that I'm now catching up with to prepare for the season premiere next Monday. Howard gets a call from Leslie and it makes him very depressed: She dumps him. And it's during "20 Questions" where Raj guesses Leonard's clues about C3PO when he mentions Sheldon's resemblance which makes the person in question blanch though he's partly flattered. He also mentions a place in Nevada where a new set of problems like "alcoholism, sexual diseases, and gambling addiction" would result. And just like that, Raj, Leonard, and Howard agree to "Vegas, baby!" (though Howard will tell his live-in mother "Sea World, baby!") With Sheldon by himself, he gets food that make his other friends uncomfortable and he is unusually cheery to Penny. That is, until Sheldon discovers he's without a key and so is Penny with the emergency one. Guess what happens? Meanwhile, Raj thinks he's getting lucky with a woman who approaches him until Leonard breaks his bubble with what her profession is. They later think she'd be perfect for Howard who's going on Leslie's Facebook page to exclaim HE dumped her...Another hilarious episode of "The Big Bang Theory" with Howard once again getting empathy whenever showing his vulnerabilities. And as always, it's always a treat to see Sheldon and Penny causing friction on each other though occasionally they do show some respect. I'll be back with another episode to review...
