TEXT: Scene: The apartment. Penny: So, Bernadette, how goes the hunt for bridesmaid dresses? Bernadette: Well, if you don't mind looking like an orange traffic cone, great. Amy: Girlfriends, I have the answer to our dress problems. Bernadette: Really? Amy: Twelve years ago, my cousin Irene and her entire family died in a horrific carbon monoxide accident the night before her wedding. Bernadette: That's horrible. Amy: Yes and no. All those bridesmaids dresses remain unused and available to us for free. So it seems that cloud of odourless deadly gas had a silver lining after all. Check it out, still in the bags. The gowns, not the bridesmaids. Bernadette: I don't know. Dead people's dresses? Penny: Yeah, and cap sleeves? U-u-uh. Amy: Uh, I was hoping you wouldn't notice. Irene was always a slave to a good bargain when it came to clothes, and sadly as it turned out, space heaters. Sheldon: Ladies, please. These four walls once housed an intellectual salon where the mind received nourishment as well as the stomach. But through no one's fault, Penny, the quality of dinner conversation in this apartment has declined. And again, I'm looking at no one in particular, Penny. Leonard: Fine. What would you like to talk about, Sheldon? Howard: What would you like to talk about, Sheldon? Why do you hate us? Sheldon: I've prepared a number of topics that should appeal to both the advanced and novice conversationalists. Penny: Okay, that time you looked at me. Amy: Who didn't? Your skin is like alabaster. Do you even have pores? Sheldon: Topic one. Faster-than-light particles at CERN, paradigm-shifting discovery or another Swiss export as full of holes as their cheese? And converse. Penny: All right, who wants to go to my apartment and look at bridal magazines? Bernadette: Oh, me. Penny: Through no one's fault, Sheldon,
SUMMARY:
Amy becomes extremely upset when Penny and Bernadette go shopping for bridesmaid dresses without her and cuts all contact with everyone, including Sheldon. A worried Sheldon goes over to her apartment, where he ends up cuddling her after rejecting her suggestion to have sex. This step further into their relationship makes him uncomfortable, so the following morning, he demands Leonard and Howard to force Penny and Bernadette to apologize to Amy, as he is not her 'snuggle bunny'. When they confront Penny and Bernadette over Amy, they reveal that they did not take Amy because she was very over-enthusiastic about being a bridesmaid and would have been a hindrance to their dress shopping, but feel guilty when they find out that she became really upset over the snub. They go to her neurobiology laboratory to apologize, but she brushes off their apologies, telling that she is used to being shunned by people whom she considers as friends. Later that evening, Amy calls Sheldon and tells him that she is drunk in a liquor store parking lot, prompting him and Leonard to immediately rush there and take her home. The next morning, Penny and Bernadette again try to apologize to Amy. After a few unsuccessful attempts, Bernadette decides to end their standoff once and for all by asking Amy to be her maid of honor at her wedding. She immediately becomes excited at this and forgives them. The episode ends with Amy filming a dress shopping trip with Penny and Bernadette.
