'The Big Bang Theory' Season 6, Episode 15: 'The Spoiler Alert Segmentation' Recap

“The Big Bang Theory”, season 6, episode 15, “The Spoiler Alert Segmentation”

In their apartment, Leonard lounges on his couch, reading Harry Potter 6, wondering why he never read them before. Sheldon spoils the ending for him; Dumbledore dies at the end.

Leonard expresses his hatred of spoilers. Sheldon theorizes that Leonard’s use of soymilk is turning him into a woman, thus his ‘hissy fits’. Leonard calls him annoying, and throws away the roommate agreement, saying he doesn’t have to put up with him. He goes across the hall to live with Penny.

In their parting words, Sheldon makes sure to spoil Harry Potter 7 for him; Dobby dies.

Raj brings Howard his suitcase that he leant him, he needed it back as he and Bernadette get ready for their trip to Vegas. He asks Raj to do him a favor, his mom has been an emotional wreck since she got dumped, and he wanted Raj to check in on her. Raj complains that he is a young single man, but Howard puts him in his place.

In Penny’s apartment, Leonard complains to Penny about Sheldon, and then says he wanted to move in with her. She isn’t too excited about it, and tries to push him to go back to Sheldon. Penny uses a clever metaphor based on Harry Potter 6, spoiling the book even more for Leonard (Harry and Ginny get together), urging him to fix things with Sheldon… not that she doesn’t want to live with him.

Raj is being spoiled by Howard’s mom, and he’s okay with that. She prepared a feast for him. When he gets ready to leave, she starts to cry, saying how lonely she is, and how she has nothing to live for. Raj says he can stay.

In Sheldon’s apartment, he enlists the help of Amy to take inventory and pack all of Leonard’s “children’s toys”. He expresses his woes over having to train a new roommate. Amy tries to get him to let her move in with him, but he isn’t sold. She lists the reasons that make her the perfect roommate. He tries to come up with a reason why it’s not a good idea, mirroring Penny’s hesitation and confusion.

He dashes across the hall to Penny’s apartment, hoping to get Leonard to move back in with him. He tells him he forgives him and wants him back. Leonard doesn’t buy it, so Sheldon tells him that Amy wants to move in, and he doesn’t want her there.

Penny overhears, and completely understands Sheldon. Leonard says he should just tell her the truth and spare her feelings. But Sheldon doesn’t believe in feelings, and is more upset that she laid out a series of logical arguments that he couldn’t refute. Amy interrupts and asks when she’s getting a key to ‘their’ apartment.

Raj wakes up in Howard’s old bedroom. Howard calls, and Raj recounts the night. She spoiled him all night, they stayed up talking, and eventually tucked him into bed. She interrupts their call, and tells him breakfast is ready.

Howard warns him that if he doesn’t leave now, he’ll never be able to escape.

“If you don’t leave now, she’ll use food and guilt to keep you there for the rest of your life. Trust me, you’re not Jewish, that’s how they get you.”

He tells Howard he can leave anytime he wants.

“Oh really? Where are you clothes? And your shoes?”

“They’re on the chair right over--- Oi vey.”

In the hallway, Sheldon calls Penny a home wrecker because she allowed Leonard to live with her. Sheldon tells her to kick him out, but she doesn’t want to break his heart. They agree that it’s best if they both just tell them the truth.

“I suppose there’s no choice but to face the crying, the angry accusations, and the high pitched wails of despair.”

“And who knows how Amy will react.”

In Vegas, Bernadette and Howard ice themselves down after some strenuous positions. Raj calls him in a panic, saying he can’t get out.

“I’m trapped! My clothes have been in the laundry all day, and she hid my keys. I think they might be in her bra because she jingles when she walks.”

Howard just hangs up on him, saying it’s too late to help.

In Sheldon’s apartment,  Amy brings him Chinese food, and he tries to bring up the living-together situation. He asks if living together will destroy the mysteries of their relationship. Instead, she shows him a voicemail message she wrote for them, and he blatantly tells her she can’t live there.

She flips out, losing her temper. She points out she’s the best girlfriend he’ll ever have, and to give her one good reason she can’t live there.

“It’s Penny’s fault.”

He throws her under the bus, saying she’s the reason they can’t be happy.

Amy confronts Penny, and Leonard overhears. Everyone learns the truth, and the girls walk away to get drunk in Penny’s apartment, leaving Leonard and Sheldon in the hallway. Sheldon invites him in to catch up on some “Walking Dead”, inadvertently spoiling that for him as well.

Raj tries to sneak out of the house, but Howard’s mom catches him, pulling him back in. He screams in surprise.
