The Big Bang Theory used Switched at Birth's Katie Leclerc perfectly as Raj's deaf gal pal, Emily.
Through Raj might have been able to connect to Emily, he was still being socially inept. Easily the funniest lines of the night were him attempting to be "cool" together with his love interest. Even though Raj presently has one, Howard was still being involved by translating for his buddy. This kept the Howard-Raj bromance alive. After the first date, both of them acted like they had found someone! As much as I believe I'm within the Howard-Raj jokes, I guess I am not tired of them simply because they still cause me to feel laugh every time.
Unfortunately for Raj, his romance was short-lived. Well, for him, it had been probably the only relationship he's had that lasted on the month. Who said money can't buy you like? Poor Raj! The show does a fantastic job of incorporating his parents via Skype whether with him or Priya.
I usually suspected that Raj's family had money, but "Richie Rich" money? Nope. The show has a tendency to drop storylines in one episode to a different, but this really is one I hope remains. It might be interesting to see how his bank account changes the dynamics of the group going forward. I suspect that the clique leaving him with the Cheesecake Factory bill will be the last time it can come up for awhile.
The secondary story of the night was Sheldon's resolution to use dice to make decisions. It was a fitting story for Sheldon and created some funny moments. I wish they would have shown a choice or two with greater ramifications than bad food or hair on your face. We didn't see him deal with any terrible dice decisions or consequence. This quirk was infinitely better than last week's train obsession, though.
