Leonard, when are you leaving
to pick your mother up from the airport?

Uh... Well, let's see,
her plane gets in at 3:00,

figure half an hour to get her luggage,
so... Never.

Never?

Isn't that usually
when you go to the gym?

Are you really
not gonna pick up your mother?

No, it's fine,
she likes to take a cab or a shuttle.

That way she can meet people.

Well, that's kind of nice.

Yeah, she always says
that a stranger is just

a person whose emotional weak point
you haven't found yet.

Your mom is the best.

Hey, maybe I should pick her up.

You don't drive.

That's what makes
you and me a great team.

Go get your keys.

You can't pick her up.
It'll make me look like a bad son.

I imagine that's one of the things
we'll talk about on the ride.

That and Amy's recent reluctance
to use turn signals.

We were in a parking garage.

Come on, she gave birth to you.

Fine, I'll pick her up.

Good, I'll go with you.

- I call back seat.
- I don't want to be

the only one who doesn't go.

I'll just sit here afraid
that you're all talking about me.

We're not gonna talk about you.

Well, that's my other fear.

This is crazy.
I can pick her up by myself.

So it's just you?

Our whole universe
was in a hot dense state

Then nearly fourteen billion years ago
expansion started...

Wait!

The earth began to cool

The autotrophs began to drool

Neanderthals developed tools

We built a wall
We built the pyramids

Math, science, history
Unraveling the mystery

It all started with the Big Bang!

Bang!

How was your flight?

There were some parents with a baby.

A lot of crying.

Well, babies do that.

No, it was the parents.

It seems they couldn't handle
some constructive criticism.

Uh, hey, on a completely unrelated note,

you know,
if you'd rather stay at a hotel,

we wouldn't be offended.

Actually, I've been
looking forward to staying with you.

Really? It's just,
normally, you stay at a hotel.

- Would you like me to stay at a hotel?
- No, no, no.

I invited you to stay with us.

And I accepted,

so everyone is happy.

Yep.

I'm happy, you're happy,

everyone's happy.

How come
we never eat in the dining room?

Oh, that's for company.

What am I?

Apparently, a guy
who wants to have his feelings hurt.

When does Anu come back from London?

Next week. But it's been good, you know?

Really given me a chance
to focus on myself.

How's that going?

I didn't like what I saw,
got in my car, drove over here.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey.

I'm sorry,
I didn't know you had company.

It's all right, neither did they.

Is Stuart home?

No, he's at work.

The last juice.
I'm gonna add it to the list.

That's whose handwriting that is.

I've noticed
she's been over here a lot lately.

You know how you noticed that?
Because you're over here a lot lately.

She has slept over
every night this week.

No, no, she wasn't here Wednesday night.

Yes, she was. You didn't notice

because you were in the hot tub
in the backyard eating Oreos.

That reminds me.

Oreos.

Really?

A photon entanglement team.

Yeah, I'm actually the co-lead.

Yeah, if you like photons
and how they get entangled,

he's your co-guy.

I would enjoy seeing your lab.

Oh!

Yeah, sure. Uh...
If you want, you can come tomorrow.

I look forward to it.

Well, I think I'm going to turn in.

Good night, Penny. Good night, dear.

- Good night.
- Night, Beverly.

Wow, she's being really nice.

Yeah, clearly, one of us is dying.

Come on, her.

Or you accomplished something great,
and she's genuinely proud.

Yeah, all right, you've had enough.

Hi.

- Hey.
- Oh, it's so good to see your face.

How's the concierge conference?

You guys just get theater tickets
for each other all day long?

It's going great,

and the company put me
in a nice place in Notting Hill.

Notting Hill? Like the movie?

"I'm just a boy standing
in front of a girl saying..."

you better bring me home a T-shirt.

I can't wait for you to come home.

Actually, that's one of the reasons
I called.

They offered me a management position.

That's amazing. That's your dream.

It's here in London.

Oh...

And they want me to start right away.

What does that mean for us?

Well, how committed are you
to staying in California?

This is where my work is,
this is where my friends are.

But are you happy?

Not for years. What's your point?

All right,
I got to head out to my drawing class.

Fruit or naked dudes?

Actually, it doesn't matter,
I'm jealous of both.

- I'll see you tonight?
- Yeah.

So she's coming over again, huh?

Yeah, we're gonna do a movie night.

It's my house.
Don't you think you should ask me?

You're right, I'm sorry.

Howard, would you like
to come to movie night?

Doesn't she have her own place?
Why don't you guys hang out there?

She has a roommate,
and he's kind of creepy.

And that's coming from me.

It just feels like
Denise is basically living with us.

You know, maybe you can spend
half the time at her place.

Hey, when I moved in,

you and Bernadette said
it was okay if I brought girls over.

Oh... We were making fun of you.

And this is a high-pulse laser
with a BBO crystal.

It's pretty cool.

It emits photons in discrete bursts.

Hmm.

Very impressive.

But...

But what, dear?

I don't know.

It's just, usually there's a "but"

followed by something
that makes me feel bad.

Ah, Beverly, there you are.

Sheldon, how nice to see you.

Leonard was just showing me his new lab.

Oh, yes, experimental physics,

the carpentry of the science world.
Well...

I'm here to rescue you from the boredom.

Not necessary.
This is really quite interesting.

But...

But nothing.

Oh.

Well, if you want to see something
really interesting,

I could show you my work,

which is being talked about
for a Nobel Prize.

Hmm. Well, I'd love to see it later,

but right now,
I'm spending time with my son.

Ha-ha, I knew
there was a "but"... Wait, what?

Ready?

You sure
I didn't need to see Paddington 1?

He's a bear, he talks, no one knows why.
You're all caught up.

Push play.

May I join you?

Oh. Hey, Mitch, I didn't see you there.

Really? I've been standing here
the whole time.

Well, sure. Yeah, join us.

Movie's up there.

I've seen it.

It's wonderful.

So she's staying in London?

What does that mean
for your relationship?

It's great.

I can see why she would say that,
but why do you?

Well, we got into this
because we both wanted to get married,

and honestly,
we've been dragging our feet,

and I think this
is the push that we need.

Wait, so you're gonna
ask her to marry you?

Why not?

We like each other, plus,
we both want to start a family.

Hey, I can work from anywhere,
I'm an astronomer.

They have stars in London,

and I'm not just talking
about Dame Judi Dench.

No one thought you were.

I thought he was.

So you're really gonna
move halfway across the world?

If she says yes,

and if that's what she wants to do,
then... yeah.

Wow.

Yeah, I know. I'm flying out tomorrow.
I'm gonna surprise her with a ring.

You already have a ring?

Well, it's the same one as before.

I thought you gave it to her
the first time you got engaged?

I did, but I took it back.

So, you're an Indian giver?

Howie.

What? If he's gonna move to England,
I need to get all these out now.

Here you go. Light cream, no sugar.

That's perfect, thank you.

Beverly, I have to say, it's so nice
seeing the two of you get along.

I've always gotten along with Leonard.

Of all of my children,
he's the most docile.

She wrote that in a birthday card once.
I keep it in my nightstand.

Still, it made him so happy
showing you around his lab yesterday.

Interesting.

Would you say that that made him,
much happier than usual,

somewhat happier than usual
or as happy as usual?

Hmm. Multiple choice.

Um, I'm-a go with D,
"that's a weird question."

It made me really happy.

We haven't always had
the easiest relationship.

But, well, looking back,

I guess you were just trying to push me
to be the best version of myself.

So you would say
that my parenting strategies,

although difficult at times,

directly contributed
to your current success?

Well, I may have had
a little something to do with it.

I mean, how often do you wear
your superhero underwear now?

- Only Fridays and my birthday.
- Yeah, that was all me. That was me.

Yeah, that's a fair point.
I hadn't considered your influence.

Perhaps tomorrow
I could observe the two of you together?

Um... "Observe"?
What is going on?

I'm just visiting with my son
and doing research

for my book
on how various parenting strategies

affected my children as adults.

This has all been work to you?

Hanging out with me
and coming to my lab, I...

I thought we were
enjoying each other's company,

but it was just research.

I was enjoying it,
you know I love research.

I can't believe this.

- What? You seem angry.
- Of course I'm angry!

Well, so would you say
that you're somewhat angry,

very angry or extremely angry?

Never mind.
I can see it in your face, dear.

I'm looking over my text correspondence
with Beverly

and I don't see anything
that would have given her offense.

Nothing's ambiguous,
I spell everything out.

Including "laugh out loud"
and "what's the fracas?"

I'm sure she's not mad at you.

Well, then why would she rather
spend the day with Leonard?

Because he's her son?

Amy, I just feel like
we're going in circles.

You... What? No knock? What's the fracas?

I am so stupid.

I actually thought
my mom was genuinely proud of me.

It turns out, she's just using me
as research for her new book.

Oh, what a relief.

I thought Beverly was mad at me.
Thank you, Leonard.

That is a weight off my shoulders.

If you like her so much
you can have her, 'cause I'm done.

Oh, great. Catch the two of you later.

- Sheldon, no.
- Why?

Well, it's an emotionally complex issue.

I don't have time
to explain it right now.

Okay, but that excuse
is running out of steam.

Well, Raj is probably
on his way to the airport.

Yeah.

Guess he's finally getting
his big romantic movie moment.

With a woman who doesn't care about
big romantic movie moments.

Well, he'll have the rest of his life
to explain them to her.

You can't really think
this is a good idea.

Of course I don't.
What am I supposed to do?

Go stop him. Get your best friend back.

- You're my best friend.
- We don't have time for this! Go!

You know, Leonard was really upset.
Shouldn't you go talk to him?

And send the message that he can get
what he wants by throwing a tantrum?

I don't think so.

Beverly, put down your phone
and go apologize to your son.

Oh, so now you're not talking to me?

When you're finished with your tantrum,
I'd be glad to.

Just let me know when you're done.

Oh, my God.

When am I gonna stop
trying to win her approval?

Every time I'm around her,

I turn into this needy
little eight-year-old boy.

You sound like that now
and she's not even here.

If I could respond
more compassionately than Sheldon,

and thank you for making it so easy.

The need for a mother's approval
is baked into our biology.

I know that, it's just...

After all these years,
you'd think I would have learned.

Hmm. It's too bad you didn't.

Well, see? Compassion.

- You okay?
- Yeah. My neck's a little stiff.

Maybe because my boyfriend made me
sleep in a comic book store last night.

Bet your neck would hurt
if you slept in any store.

Except maybe a mattress store.

I'm sorry,
but I couldn't sleep at your place.

Mitch was really freaking me out.

He was freaking me out, too,
but there has to be a better solution.

- Tonight we'll go back to my place.
- And tomorrow?

With my health being what it is,
I try to live one day at a time.

I don't want to blame you,

but if you'd moved in with me
when I asked you to,

we wouldn't be in this situation.

You're right. It's my fault.

When I had the chance, I was scared

and now that I want to,
you're stuck with Mitch.

So you do want to move in with me?

More than Galactus
wants to devour worlds.

Well, that's great 'cause
I want to move in with you

more than the Thing wants to clobber.

More than Hulk wants to smash?

More than Batman wants to ignore
the due process of law.

We are so weird.

Raj! Stop!

What?

What are you doing here?

Look...

If you're getting on that plane

because you love Anu

and you can't stand the thought

of spending another day without her,

then go.

If not, then stay here

with the people who love you.

But what if this is my last chance
at marriage and family?

I promise you it's not.

Believe me, somewhere out there

is a woman who loves cooking shows
and sweater vests

and all the other dumb things you love.

- You really think so?
- Yes.

And I don't think
she's waiting for you in England.

When you propose to someone
in Notting Hill,

it should be to someone
who knows what that movie is.

Are you saying...

you're just a boy,

standing in front of another boy,

saying you don't want him to leave?

Sure.

I love you, buddy.

I love you, too.

No.

No, no,
that's not what's happening here.

Come on.

How'd you get past security?

I had to buy a ticket.
You owe me 1,300 bucks.

Penny, can I have a moment
alone with my...

Yep, bye.

Have you calmed down?

No, I'm not calm. You really hurt me.

- That wasn't my intention.
- It doesn't matter what you intended.

What matters
is the way you made me feel.

Actually, the way
you've always made me feel.

I see, so...

you're here to tell me all the ways
that I failed you as a mother.

Yeah.

And get comfortable,
'cause it's a long list.

Is it happening soon?

You know what? It doesn't matter.

Doesn't matter,
you're never gonna change.

If I want you to accept me for me,

then I guess I'm gonna
have to accept you for you.

So...

I forgive you.

- I didn't ask you to forgive me.
- Too bad. I forgive you anyway.

And I forgive myself
for taking so long to do it.

Oh, my God, that feels so good.

I must admit, it...

It does feel good.

What does?

You forgiving me.

It means a lot.

Thank you.

Look, I was scared to move in,

but that was a mistake
because she is amazing

and I really want to live with her.

So think you'd be willing
to find another place?

- Do you love her?
- We haven't really said that yet.

Yeah, I do.

Don't say it to me, say it to her.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Now both of you say it to me.
