Howard is hit with a bombshell, Penny teaches Sheldon to roll with the punches, and Stuart prepares to reopen his shop in "The Comic Book Store Regeneration." As for Leonard and Raj, they're busy wondering whether that was really Nathan Fillion they spotted in a restaurant. I mean, do TV stars eat? Do Canadians?

Elsewhere in "Let Her Go," Damon grapples with painful memories of his mother, Kai's latest move raises red flags for Alaric, and Matt and Tyler consider a major life change, thus launching a dozen fanfics before I even finished this sentence.

Two and a Half Men
Will Charlie Sheen return for the venerable sitcom's hour-long swan song? Is Charlie Harper truly dead? Could he be, in fact, alive? The title of the series finale is "Of Course He's Dead," which would seem to settle things. I've never known a sitcom episode title to lie to me, have you?

The Blacklist
A polygamous cult leader goes missing in "The Kenyon Family," spurring the team to investigate his property and the dangerous items therein.

Backstrom
The team races to rescue an abducted teenage girl in "Bogeyman," though Backstrom is haunted by an old unsolved case whose victim bore striking similarities to the girl they're searching for. In other bad news, Det. Sgt. Almond's church may be shut down thanks to his falling behind on the rent.
