I kept telling Norma thru the whole episode to just tell Alex about your secret past with Caleb & the threats from Chick; Alex won't care; he will help you…and she heard me!!! Lol Seriously, that end scene with Norma & Romero had me bawling. I was blindsided by the fact that she actually was opening herself up to…

*should HAVE

Bernie was waiting tables at CF while she was finishing her studies. Then she received her Doctorate in Microbiology & obtained a job at a pharmaceutical company. Somebody missed some episodes! ;)

What does that scene have to do with what OP said? I understand your breakdown of the scene, but OP is talking about the scene where Norman sees & tries talking to Julian, only to discover Julian drooling & completely drugged up & out of it, then fleeing outdoors in shock right into his Motherly encounter. Maybe…

Exactly!!

She's awesome.

Yes!!! Talk about heartbreaking!!

The kitchen scene where Norman laid it all out, face-to-face, his accusations of Norma being the evil one & how he wasn't going to let her put him away….WOW!!! SO POWERFUL!! He's crying & screaming with Norma sitting there weeping & fearful, realizing her desperate world is crumbling around her, not knowing if she'd…

Yeah I laughed when I saw her in that watery mud pit, sloshing around in her rain gear but still wearing her dress!! Haha!! Then when she wiped the mud onto her face, made me chuckle even more. She is such a great actress!

Yes, the Raj scenes were just outright ridiculous & painful to watch. Ugh.

Yes, and that's a good thing….at times in the past they've seemed to drag things out and the filler was uninteresting & bland. We're off to a great start here!

Yeah, and they are both Chuck Lorre's babies.

*should've | would've

Yeah, growing up, I was taught the name of that song was "My Country 'Tis of Thee". Now it's known as "Let Freedom Ring"?? Since when?? Other reviews called it the latter as well. Huh??

Doesn't make it right, lol!

"…that him and Bernadette are going to be parents"; what's with the poor grammar here??

I loved this episode! A refreshing change of pace where everyone seemed to be themselves, just interacting with each other, nothing forced. I LOL'd a lot! Especially when Howard opened his robe, shaking his thang, talking about being hot - then Bernadette said, "Well, look at that…you shaved it all". Then with his…

Been years since we SAW her, but not all that long ago when she was heavily involved in an episode (although unseen). It was when Sheldon left town to go back home to help when his sister gave birth to her baby. Amy talked to Sheldon on her iPad throughout the episode while he was home "assisting" in the birth.

Definitely a disappointing episode for sure. Such potential but went nowhere.

Mayim.
