“I don’t know that we ever actually in 12 years wrote a scene that intentionally didn’t have a joke in it,” showrunner Steve Holland tells TVLine, referring to a scene between Sheldon and Amy. “Earlier in the week that scene had some jokes in it and we were watching it (during rehearsal) and it just didn’t feel right… It felt like we had earned that right to have a scene between these two characters that was actually real and raw and where we didn’t need to cut that moment with a laugh.”
