More official summaries/reports will be coming, but wanted to update you on what came out of chat about the episode taped tonight. This focuses mainly on the Lenny/Shamy story and updates on the other story will come soon.
The two couples head to a cabin. The episode starts with Sheldon doing an outdoor simulation complete with car freshener to bring in the outdoor scent.
Penny says a doctor offered her a cabin for a weekend to which Sheldon was not impressed. Amy said if Leonard went and he didn’t, Leonard might end up smarter than Sheldon. Amy admitted she was manipulating him, but he decided to go anyway.
At any rate, they arrive at the cabin and we see Sheldon wearing a virtual helmet heading to the cabin. It is raining outside.
Leonard complains about the rain and Sheldon sarcastically replies back something along the lines of “oh yes, we have warmth, comfort..oh horror!”
Sheldon suggests they check each other for tics which Amy then replies “Sheldon, you only walked from the car to the cabin.” He then says “Who wants to check me” to which Amy replies “on the other hand, safety comes first” and Sheldon drops his pants saying “well, suit yourself” and steps closer to her.
Penny suggests a drinking game after first trying to convince them all they could walk through the woods in the rain without success. So the group decide to play “Never have I ever” where you make a statement starting with “Never have I ever” and then say something that you have not done. Anyone who has done that thing has to drink.
Leonard starts and says to Penny “Never have I ever used Sheldon’s toothbrush to clean the sink.” Penny drinks, with Sheldon looking on with quite a priceless expression. Penny then says “Nebver have I ever made up a name for my genitals.” and Leonard begins drinking. He shares the name, embarrassed, but the attendee at the taping could not recall the name he gave. Amy interrupts him and says “OK, OK my turn” and she says “Never have I ever completely rocked my girlfriend’s world in bed.” And Sheldon looks at her puzzled why she would bring that up, but drinks. Leonard wants to take a drink, but Penny gives him a questioning expression, then says “go ahead, drink” to which Leonard drinks and has a self-satisfied look on his face.
Sheldon then takes his turn and says “Never have I ever kept a secret savings bank account from my wife.” Penny gets really ad and says “I can’t believe you’d do that” before stomping out of the room. Leonard follows her.
Leonard apologizes to Penny and she forgives him and says that she too has been keeping a secret from him. She hates her job! Leonard asks her why she never said anything to which she said “I know it is important for you that I’m successful.” Leonard says “No…..” and sie asks “So you would be okay with it if I quit my job and went back to acting?” Leonard says “Sure, but do you want to do that?” Penny replies “No” and he then says “Thank God” with relief. Penny then says “I guess that’s the adult thing to do, to keep this job to pay off my debt.”
Leionard then says “Never have I ever made love in a cabin in the woods in the rain.” Penny leans in to kiss him (in one take, but says the same thing in both takes), “Yeah, I gotta drink again” and leaves.
In the tag scene, Shamy are being themselves playing the drinking game still but cannot find anything to drink about, even though they act a bit tipsy. They tried several questions without success in taking a drink.
More about Raj, Howard and Berndette coming and we will link you to more official reports ASAP>
