I Do’s and I Don’ts

The episode opens with Howard and Bernadette asking Leonard and Penny to buy the house next door. When Amy interjects that maybe she and Sheldon should take the house, he is quick to point out all the hilarious reasons that are a bad idea.

Raj goes on a disastrous date with the woman his father set them up with named Ana. He blatantly ignores all the red flags. When Howard points out that it’s probably a bad idea to marry someone you just met he gets really angry.

In the midst of discussing their future Penny decides to tell Leonard that she may not wanna have children. This really hurts Leonard who decides to discuss it with Sheldon and receives no comfort from his dry concentrated logic.

The episode took a wild twist this week with the romance involving Raj. At first, it seemed like his character was going to settle but when he decided different, it was nice to see that the fiance decided she wanted him. Also, the children debate between Leonard and Penny also had a nice finish and makes me wonder if this is foreshadowing a pregnancy.

What do you think? Would you like to see Leonard and Penny have a kid? Could this happen before the series finale? Tell us in the comments below!
