Leonard Cooper, the sports son

One of the major revelations is that of the existence of Leonard, Sheldon and Amy’s son, named in homage to their friend Leonard Hofstadter. Unlike his father, Leonard is an avid hockey fan and plays for the Pasadena Penguins. This passion for sports, a stark contrast to Sheldon’s geeky world, shows how children can surprise their parents.

Sheldon and Amy’s new house

Fans also learn that Sheldon and Amy have moved from their famous apartment at 2311 North Los Robles Avenue to a house in the same area of ​​Pasadena. This move, probably financed by their Nobel Prize, includes a large house with a garden.

The finale quietly reveals that Penny and Leonard are still close to Sheldon and Amy. Penny babysits for the couple, and the famous brown leather couch from their apartment is now in Sheldon’s office.

Sheldon’s office, a museum of references

Dr. Cooper’s office is a treasure trove of memories and winks to The Big Bang Theory. It features his Nobel Prize, a photo of him and Amy in Stockholm, a DNA model, a Flash mug, and even a Rubik’s Cube coaster. These items show that some elements of his past life have been relegated to his office, probably at Amy’s request.

David Saltzberg at Caltech
