Big Bang Theory Thursday: The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis

Last night I shared an emotional good-bye with my dear friend Shawna, who moved to England today. There were many tears and hugs, so today's BBT clip is especially appropriate.
You BBT watchers will know what scene I'll be showing today, but for those of you who still haven't jumped on the BBT bandwagon, here's a bit of setup: Sheldon learns that Penny is getting him a Christmas gift, so he has to decide what to get her. He's upset at having to shop for someone he barely tolerates and doesn't understand. He overthinks this, of course, and decides that the gift he gives her has to be the same price as the gift she's getting him. He has no way of knowing what she's getting him, so he ends up buying her several bath gift sets of varying prices and stores them in his room. His plan is to feign a bathroom emergency and dash to his room to retrieve the appropriately priced gift set after receiving his gift and determining how much it probably cost. The result is Sheldon buried under baskets of bath salts and bubble bath and an amazingly awkward hug from Sheldon to Penny. Sheldon does not give hugs (he's a germaphobe), so this is a big moment.
Enjoy!
