It leads to an indulgent self-pity party - which Howard and Raj soon join - where the fellas sit around getting Klingon-ed on bottles of Romulan Ale that Sheldon purchased at Comic-Con. But then, as he tries to prove Leonard wrong by compiling a list of the big issues physicists are tackling today and laying out the progress theyвЂ™ve made, Sheldon comes to a conclusion that rocks his world: Leonard is right. вЂњHe publicly maligned the love of my life, Lady Physics,вЂќ Sheldon dramatically proclaims. HeвЂ™s charged with writing a retraction that he doesnвЂ™t believe in, lest he lose his job, and his fellow physicists feel alienated by his assessment of their works. Plenty of attention is paid to their drama, which begins with Leonard making a fool of himself, and of his employer, when he gives a public-radio interview suggesting thereвЂ™s little of value happening, or likely to happen in the near future, in the physics corner of the scientific community. The last scene of the friends in the episode is the two of them sitting in BernieвЂ™s kitchen, having sufficiently torn each other down. Because IвЂ™m gonna see that world from a yacht so big you can land a helicopter on it.вЂќ IвЂ™m trying to map the structures of the brain, and youвЂ™re trying to convince people that itchy hair is a real thing вЂ¦ IвЂ™m just saying that my research may actually change the world forever.вЂќД«ernadette: вЂњI hope it does. But one brag too many and suddenly the two pals arenвЂ™t patting each other on their backs anymore theyвЂ™re stabbing each other in them.ДЄmy: вЂњYouвЂ™re right, we both do important work. Because as if it isnвЂ™t crushing enough that these women suppress their superstar accomplishments, catering repeatedly to their partnersвЂ™ fragile male egos, they promptly and cartoonishly move from supportive to spiteful.ДЄllвЂ™s swell as Amy talks about taking naps in the вЂњmillion-dollar bunkbedвЂќ that is her labвЂ™s new fMRI machine, and Bernadette jokes that the money is so free-flowing in her lab that they donвЂ™t bother washing test tubes - they simply toss them away and buy new ones. Yep, that is the least you can say, in a positive light, about the facts that (1) itвЂ™s true that the women arenвЂ™t celebrated by their partners, and (2) they have to go one step further and hide and lie about their good works.Д«ut by the end of вЂњThe Retraction Reaction,вЂќ you canвЂ™t even celebrate that. Talking about what they canвЂ™t with the menfolk at least allows Amy and Bernie the chance to root for each other, and they vow that they will continue to be each otherвЂ™s cheerleaders as they continue to make important scientific advancements - and for Bernie at her pharmaceutical company job, continue to rake in gobs of cash (including a bonus check she didnвЂ™t even tell her husband about). It is not a good thing, of course, that Amy doesnвЂ™t feel like she can tell Sheldon about the boxes of new equipment her Caltech department has purchased for her, or that Bernie doesnвЂ™t tell Howard her company retreat was actually in Tahiti, not Boise. The new season of The Big Bang Theory began last week with the engagement of Shamy, and a promise on SheldonвЂ™s part to start showing more interest in and respect for AmyвЂ™s thriving scientific career.Д«ut in week two, Amy and Bernadette bond as they reveal they both have to hide or downplay their work accomplishments from their significant others. 12 The Stockholm Syndrome, Season 12/Ep.24 (9.One step forward, two steps back.
