As much as I would love to see an "in exactly 4 years" wedding for Shamy, I'm okay with the ring not coming up immediately because they seem to be in a happy place now and I don't want the ring to add pressure for them to get married (I don't want a repeat of Lenny! - yes, I said it.) just as introducing the "possibility" of coitus into their relationship did, like you mentioned. I hope we see a more mature Amy on the same page as Sheldon who knows his dedication with or without the ring on her finger right away, and I hope they don't make things between them become "when is he gonna propose?!" I love quirky, smitten Shamy and I don't want anymore "when is the next step coming?" frustration! Little moments of closeness (and perhaps Sheldon's building sexual desire for Amy!) between them are all I'm kinda hoping for right away  

This!! This.. SO MUCH this! This is exactly why I said I still have trust issues in a previous post. They have done it already, and I don't want it done again to my ship!

Yahoo is reporting it as a fall.  http://news.yahoo.com/photos/actress-mayim-bialik-falls-she-steps-backstage-pose-photo-030521761.html

 

Getting back on topic, there certainly has to be some fallout from Amy finding out about the ring. I'm kinda getting the feeling that Sheldon's apology tour might be setting up for him to fully realize just how much he put Amy through. Our boy has grown up a lot this season, but I don't think he quite gets it just yet. 

And vice-versa. What's Amy thinking after the fact, knowing she took a six month powder from the guy she loves who was holding a ring the whole time? Not to mention her "friends" remaining silent on the topic? For all we know Amy is still ignorant about the depth of pain Sheldon suffered because of the breakup as well. It's all good and well to know Sheldon didn't "excel" at getting over you, and have him knock on your door wanting to be your BF again because he still loves you-- but to find out you broke up with him when he was planning to propose? Yikes! If Amy takes her own empathy tour and now, armed with the knowledge of the ring, placed herself in Sheldon's shoes for the last six months, she'll understand soon enough....If the writers want to go there they can certainly create drama and what not. Not sure they want to do that but anything goes with this group!

Sheldon most definitely hasn't figured everything out yet- his grasp of sarcasm continues to be a challenge, and even HE knows that he's gonna continue screwing up (as evidenced in his apology on the bus to Emily)...but he's making quick progress of things thinks to Amy and her continued influence on him. And his new found happy place with her....

You people all careful about the fall and I'm laughing. I'm feeling like I'm a bad person. If I was near, I obviously would help her to stand up again (after laugh a lot) lol. But she probably just hurt the knee, it doesn't seem to be something serious. 

You're bad! Lol jk. But I really feel bad for her-- I mean she tweets the night before the ceremony basically predicting she has a trip hazard for a dress, and has a self-fulfilling prophecy on one of her most exciting nights of her adult career! She was clearly blind-sided by the win, was nervous on stage, and then gets a clumsy fall on top of it all. If you watch that backstage interview on YouTube there's a lot of hand wringing and fidgeting with her rings while she talks, which is uncommon with her. she usually appears pretty relaxed in front of the camera when she is interviewed...

Trust me I am laughing my ass off at this! Especially since she tweeted earlier that she's gonna need help not to trip on her dress! (jinxed it!) But I also have sooooo much secondhand embarrassment for her  that I slightly cringe and think "noooooo!" lol! And I am genuinely concerned about her back!

That's what I thought before 914. I assumed the "exactly four years" was just a throwaway joke from the writers and they'll have Shamy less focused in the second half of this season and the ring might not be brought up again until the end of this season. But they surprised me with Meemaw and the ring. Now they just confused me. I think it's very awkward and weird to bring up the ring now. And it's even weirder to just leave it like that. Once the ring is out there, it'll be strange for them to not talk about it. And obviously they're not going to talk about it anytime soon. So it's like???????

I hope the writers have a plan otherwise I can't believe they spoiled the ring for Amy just for the purpose of creating some drama between Amy and Meemaw.

I get the impression that once Amy gets the ring on her finger, the wedding date will be set.    Sheldon is not going to beat around the bush about it like Lenny.   Henceforth, Amy is not going to get that ring until Sheldon is absolutely sure they are ready for matrimony.   Even if it is (18) months away (I really don't think that long), the date will be set, and the planning will begin.     I think the planning would be a good means to get a lot of comedy between these two, and they could stretch it over half or an entire season.

On setting the date, I wonder if it will be on a day that coincides with some scientific achievement or moment in their relationship.

While I agree that knowing about the ring may be useful for Amy in order to watch to her pre-break-up relationship with some perspective and understand that maybe some of her concerns about Sheldon's commitment were just lack of communication rather than lack of interest in Sheldon, I'm not so sure that at this point of their story is that useful  to see her having that sort of empathy tour. I mean, for me it's time to go past whose fault it was (I still go that it was 50-50), who suffered more (we never actually saw Amy's side of the story, so we don't know what happened in her head and how much she suffered), who changed more and who learnt more by this situation. It's time for the two of them to rebuilt their relationship as a team, and I guess it's what they are doing, according to the last episodes. I'm very happy that from the TR of the past episode it seems that Sheldon really has passed over his pain and is taking Amy's side against his grandmother who hates her just for the pain his nephew went through. Maybe he recognizes that somehow this time off was necessary...Also for the fact that Lenny knew about the ring, it was none of their business to inform Amy and, at the point of the story when they discovered it, it was really moot to do that. Amy seemed to have moved on, why humbling Sheldon?  Soon after that, it seemed that Sheldon had moved on, so why tell Amy what she had lost apparently for ever? now that they are in a good place, it was none of meemaw business either to spill the beans, but unfortunately  it's done. I hope this will help them to built an even stronger relationship!

YES to this! The idea of "in exactly 4 years" wedding is very sweet, but I'm starting to think it won't happen. I don't think they'd want to "waste" 10x2 on Shamy wedding and now with the very strong possibility for the show to go beyond 10th season, they are in no rush. That makes me think the wedding will happen more towards the end of season 10. And I'm fine with it, I'd love to see them having some fun with the wedding planning!

Also like some have said before me, the fact that Amy now knows about the ring released the tension. Now we, the fans, don't have to be on the edge of our seats wondering if she'll find out about it before Sheldon pops the question. We can now, hopefully, just enjoy Shamy being happy and in love. So please writers, no "when is he gonna propose" tension and drama, I'm totally with you on this one! I rather watch how they'll handle their relationship past coitus and well, simply them being all Shamy sweet  And I'm still hoping for a casual goodbye/hello kiss in front of the gang!

Oh I totally agree with you. For him it's only logical to set a date right away, that's the purpose of proposing. He also commented on why Lenny didn't set a date and were engaged for a long time. When he proposes, the date will be set.

I hope this will help them to built an even stronger relationship!

I agree with the bold part.    Amy's issue with Sheldon was lack of communication more than anything.    The closer they got to each other, when it came to talking about their relationship and feelings, their words and intentions just seemed to go past each other.   Amy just wasn't sure where Sheldon stood in the relationship and what level of priority she was in his life.   Sheldon was trying to tell her in his own way, but as he was still trying to protect his feelings, he did it in all the wrong ways.    I think Amy perhaps intended to talk to him, but he never gave her the space she needed to articulate her thoughts.  He pushed her over the edge by his impatience in wanting to close the distance between them, and she reacted by losing her patience in him not allowing it so she could think.   Sheldon assumed she had reservations about their relationship, possibly looking for a notch in her bed post.   Amy assumed he wasn't ready to fully commit to her, but just wanted her around for his entertainment.

I think Howard's comment at the comic book store to Leonard and Raj that Amy's "time off" from Sheldon did their relationship some good was significant.   To me, it proves that Amy only ever wanted a break from Sheldon, not a break up.   It goes back to her conversation in the kitchen with Howardette, wondering if she did the right thing by breaking up with Sheldon. 

It seems to me that, while Penny thought the break up was indeed a break up, Bernadette kind of knew all along that it was more than it was supposed to be.   She called Amy out on dating, when Amy said she wasn't ready.    It was Bernadette that Amy revealed her heartbreak of Sheldon shooting her down in getting back together, another indication of her surprise that he didn't want back in.

Amy kept reminding Sheldon during the 11 hour break and the break up, when he was pestering her, that she wanted him to back off.   I think she proceeded with the break up because she felt it was the only way she could get Sheldon to leave her alone for awhile so she could focus on herself.   Things got out of control.   She thought Sheldon was moving on, so she decided to try dating.     When she decided she had enough time off, her words were, "I think I am ready to be your girlfriend again."    To me this is another indicator that she only meant for the situation to be temporary, but she underestimated the affect it would have on Sheldon or that he wouldn't be there waiting for her to come back.

While Sheldon has learned to embrace his feelings and the necessity to reveal himself to Amy so she doesn't try to fill in the blanks herself, Amy has learned that she must also carefully communicate with Sheldon.   She can't be coy or sarcastic, but needs to be direct and gentle regarding behavior she is not going to accept from him.   I don't think she expects him to be perfect, but she wants him to at least try.

Amy and Sheldon have always been able to communicate on the level of the brain, but not the heart.   Now they speak to each other from both organs, and I think this will make a big difference from here on out.   They might have a spat here and there, like all relationships.   However, I think their fights will be against those around them, rather than with each other.

Amy told Meemaw that she doesn't need a hand-me-down to know Sheldon is committed to her.   As such, I don't think her knowing about the ring is going to create the angst we are worried about.  Yes, she's hopeful, because she's going to want to proudly show off to everyone that she is engaged to Dr. Sheldon Cooper.    However, like Sheldon said, he gave her his virginity.    A ring on her finger has little value compared to that.   He's 100% committed for life, and she just needs to cool her jets.   They are already there.   The formalities of him officially asking her to marry him, putting the ring on her finger, and a relationship title change is coming.   With everything they've been through, she just needs to be patient.   He's going to do it his way, and if she's learned anything about how great the coitus turned out, when he does, it's going to better than she ever imagined.     It will be worth the wait.

At least that's how I envision it.

Thank you.  I'm looking forward to seeing Kripke again.   I'd like to see him interact more with Amy than Sheldon this time.   Perhaps he is the one who asks her why she got back with Sheldon, and we get a little more info from her side.     I can see Sheldon being even more protective of her when Kripke's around her now.   Bring on the comedy!

Oh I agree! I have no desire to see any drama related to the breakup, I just threw that out there in response to the idea that Sheldon has a lot to learn still. I'm hoping, off camera, that the Meemaw episode gave Amy some new perspective too. Personally I like where Shamy is at right now. As for the silence from friends regarding the ring during the breakup, I guess I think differently on it. And I bet Amy does too since her reaction in the TR implied she had a problem with Penny knowing that secret. Penny's flight from the room also implies she knew it was a sticky subject.

[birdy]

I'd love to see all these three together in a scene! Sheldon must dislike Kripke even more after he expressed interests in Amy and asked her out. Perhaps we'll see jealous Sheldon or maybe Sheldon rubbing it on Kripke's face.. Lots of possible comedy there, looking forward to the next taping!

It seems Penny felt that if Amy had known about Sheldon wanting to broach the subject of marriage that things would have been different with the break up, which is why she pressed him before his "I said I'm Fine" outburst.    That is why I got so confused as to the reason she didn't say anything to Amy, and also because she didn't do anything to discourage Amy from dating Dave.   In fact, she tried to help her along by encouraging her to be more sexy, letting her borrow her shoes, etc.

As I go back and review the things that happened and are happening now, I think Penny kept things close to the vest because she had her own silent agenda.   She wanted Sheldon to learn that he can't keep bottling up his feelings and neglecting the woman he claims to love.    She also hoped it would cause Amy to open herself up more to modern dress and grooming, etc.   I think she wanted Amy to get experience she wasn't getting from Sheldon.

Penny felt sorry for Sheldon, but she wasn't going to condone Shamy reconciling with the way things were with Sheldon continuing to be the bad boyfriend.   If Sheldon ended up losing Amy for good, then at least perhaps he'd learn how to treat his next girlfriend better.   When Sheldon had his epiphany in earworm, Penny looked proud of him, as if this was what she'd been waiting for him to figure out on his own.   In her mind, it wasn't her place to tell Amy how he felt and what he wants, it was his.

I'm sure if Penny had told Amy how heartbroken Sheldon was, and if Amy knew about the ring, she would have cancelled her date with Dave that night and gone over to the other apartment to have a discussion with Sheldon.  They'd be back to where they were before the break up.

Amy knowing what she knows now about Sheldon's intentions and how hurt he was, I bet she's seething a little inside that Penny did not reveal any of these things to her.    Meemaw is disappointed in Amy, but she fails to understand that Amy's actions and the length of the break up were the result of lack of and misinformation that Sheldon wasn't interested in committing, not because she didn't want Sheldon in her life.   Like Amy told Dave, she was putting a lot of work into the relationship, and it seemed she wasn't getting the return that she hoped for and wanted.

We still don't know if the "bad boyfriend" line came from Amy, or if it was Penny's misinterpretation.   However, I think it would be interesting if the new rift is between Penny and Amy for awhile.

I am so obsessed with Kripke, just dying to watch this.  Ever since I wrote my story...lol.  I have to remember he is a lot creepier in canon!  But generally he's comedy gold.  Can't wait.  Lol...was just thinking about him complaining about Siri.  Have you ever followed the actor's (John Ross Bowie's) instagram?  He's hilarious.

@nibbler747  Your story is the reason I love Kripke so much!   Sometimes I confuse your story with events on the show. 

Wouldn't it be neat if Amy gets little tidbits of information here and there over just how much she's meant to Sheldon all along?   First, she finds out from Meemaw about the ring and that Penny knew about it.   

Perhaps with Kripke, she finds out that Sheldon conjured up an intimate relationship with her.   Rather than be angry, she sees it as evidence that he had been working on it for some time, and it touches her that he saw her in that way.    Then she finds out this was just another secret that Penny kept from her.   Uh oh!

I just got another Kripke idea.    What if Sheldon gets jealous and that's what motivates him to propose, so he can get the ring on her finger so he knows she is taken?    I hope not, but as Shamy do nothing conventionally, I can see something like this happening.   If Sheldon proposes to Amy in front of Kripke, I will just die.     I'd like to think he'd plan something out, but as he was going to ask her to marry him to end the break up, I don't put anything past him when he feels backed into a corner.

Sheldon knew about the ring Leonard was carrying around for Penny for two years and he didn't say anything. It was only right and proper that Leonard and Penny should respond in kind.

Leonard and Penny weren't there when Sheldon behaved so badly that he got himself dumped. Nobody could tell them without admitting they'd missed the wedding ceremony because Sheldon was badgering and insulting Amy. They had no idea what a bugger Sheldon was being when he forced the break up.

Leonard and Penny did hear Sheldon leave a phone message inviting Amy to watch the Spockumentary so for all they knew she'd have seen it somehow. Sheldon didn't need to give all those details after Penny noticed the ring box, but he did. When he came home without having proposed to Amy, no doubt they realised it was a sensitive issue they were best keeping to themelves until the Spockumentary was broadcast for all the world to see. It was not their place to tell Amy what Sheldon didn't tell her himself. Sheldon had watched  enough movies to know that what he was seeing when he got to Amy's building meant next to nothing. It shouldn't have discouraged a man who only a few minutes previously had been firmly declaring his intention to put his foot down and pop the  question. So why did it ? Why didn't he follow her in and knock on her door as  planned ? Talk about faint heart never won fair lady ! So how serious were Sheldon's intentions really, anybody might wonder. Mouth shut was Leonard and Penny's decision. Don't blame them.
