Ep 2. The Deception Verification

Sheldon is busily setting up a scavenger hunt for Howard's bachelor party, when he declares that he's done waiting for any input from Amy to further refine their relationship. Despite agreeing to Sheldon's 5-year plan, Amy is convinced that Sheldon is missing milestones they ought to be hitting and turns to Penny and Bernadette for advice when Sheldon is unreachable. While the girls toy with her emotions and imagine a time without Sheldon's idiosyncrasies, Sheldon unexpectedly shows up, feeling remorseful for his lack of communication. Meanwhile, Raj has bought Emily an unsolicited gift -- a large, ghastly oil painting of herself -- and is immediately the less for it. Emily assures him that the gift doesn't make her like him any less, and when the painting is conveniently stolen, the couple is actually relieved. Ultimately, the scavenger hunt doesn't go well, but Howard and the guys enjoy themselves anyway.
