If last week’s premiere was a tornado of emotions (literally and figuratively), is the heavy, rain-soaked silence that follows.
Victor, however, isn't threatened. He asks Sheldon one simple question: "Are you scared the storm will come back?" For the first time all episode, Sheldon has no scientific answer. He just nods. Victor replies: "Me too."
The episode wastes no time reminding us that this isn't the lighthearted Big Bang Theory prequel anymore. This is drama with a laugh track.
: Stranded without his bag, he calls home for help. Missy, distracted by her own teenage drama, ignores his pleas. Sheldon is eventually forced to walk home, even getting chased by a small dog along the way.
