‘The Big Bang Theory’ Season 12 Episode 9 Air Date, Spoilers: ‘Fortnite’ Addiction Featured, Sheldon’s Dreams Destroyed?

“The Big Bang Theory” Season 12 Episode 9 will be a bit tragic in scope compared to typical episodes of the show. It will focus on Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Amy (Mayim Bialik) finding out that the project they have been working so hard on has been disproven. What’s more, the show will be highlighting the addictive effects of “Fortnite” on anyone who touches it.

In the synopsis posted over at SpoilersGuide, the plot for “The Big Bang Theory” Season 12 Episode 9 is going to be a little sadder than most of the season’s episodes. While it would have been nice to see Sheldon get a win in his career considering that this is the last season, it seems that this is just not going to be the case.

“Sheldon and Amy are devastated after learning from a Russian paper that Super Asymmetry has already been discovered and disproven. Also, ultra-competitive Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) asks Stuart’s girlfriend, Denise (Lauren Lapkus), to teach her how to beat Howard in a popular videogame,” the synopsis reads.

The result is this “The Big Bang Theory” Season 12 Episode 9 promo clip where Sheldon absolutely freaks out. An understandable reaction, given that he just found out how his dreams have been destroyed.

For some context on Bernadette’s upcoming addiction to “Fortnite,” this promo clip reveals how the competitive mother gets a taste of the game and proceeds to be devoured by it. As anyone who has been playing the game non-stop after trying it once, this bug has an overwhelming bite. “The Big Bang Theory” Season 12 Episode 9 might just showcase that.

“The Big Bang Theory” Season 12 Episode 9 is scheduled to air on Nov. 15. How will Sheldon cope with his shattered dreams? Will Bernadette be able to overcome her “Fortnite” addiction?
