When Amy told that she wants Sheldon to be happy, did he say "I believe you" because in 9x01 he had thought that she's thriving of his suffering? It just felt like a weird answer but I'd love to hear what you think
Wow, I hadn’t thought of that actually.
I think… in that scene, when Amy told him that she hadn’t slept with any of the guys she had been dating, did you see Sheldon’s face? Actually, I’m gonna gif it ‘cause it’s very important:
He looks surprised, sure, but he’s just realized something. Their break up wasn’t about sex. At least not entirely. She didn’t break up with him ‘cause she was dying to be intimate with someone, it was much more than that. She realized she couldn’t be happy with him because of a number of other factors besides sex.I think that’s also when he realized that he had been wrong to think that Amy was only doing this to hurt him, and this was actually about HER trying to be happy.
Plus, the fact that they were spending Thanksgiving together, with Amy suggesting that they go together to the aquarium in the first place cause HE wanted to go. She did that to make HIM happy, and the same with the bag of cheerios she had in the car. Again, look at him there:
And even more so at finding out she mixed them for him:
She truly does want him to be happy, and he knows it in that moment more than ever.
Something else that you didn’t ask me about, but I absolutely loved about this episode: It was like old school Shamy again, hanging out, playing games, admiring each other…
Enjoying each other’s company…
And most importantly, it was a reminder of why this couple DOES work and of course, the unbelievable chemistry between Jim and Mayim that never ever fails to astonish me.
Oh, and he’s so NOT over her.
