The Big Bang Theory Season 4 : |
This season the Big Bang gang’s romantic universe expands. On the rebound from Penny Leonard falls into the arms of Raj’s sister Priya. Sheldon gets a girlfriend or rather a friend who is a girl: Amy a dour neurobiologist who declares herself besties with Penny. Howard and Bernadette heat up. And so do Raj and Bernadette (at least in Raj’s Bollywood daydream). |
