Fed up with his mother's lack of compassion, Leonard leaves. Things only become worse when Leonard is told about his parents' pending divorce, his mother's surgery and the death of his dog - all of which which Sheldon has known for weeks. It turns out that Beverly stays in touch with Sheldon, even telling him more than she does Leonard. She does not know that, by this point Leonard and Penny are dating - Leonard had not told her for fear of how she would disapprove because of Penny's lack of a tertiary or quaternary education. She reappears in " The Maternal Congruence", where she visits Leonard for Christmas. At the end they sing "Any Way You Want It" together, as a confused Leonard looks on. She instantly upsets Penny by talking with her about her (Penny's) childhood issues with Wyatt (Penny's father), refers to Howard and Rajesh Koothrappali as an "ersatz homosexual couple", and repeatedly belittles Leonard however, she gets along perfectly with Sheldon and spends more time with him than anyone else. Leonard is clearly uneasy about it and it becomes apparent when she arrives: she is as strict and logical as Sheldon, if not more so. I mean, when I was little I’d think maybe my parents would change their mind, and surprise me with a party, like this one birthday I came home from my cello lesson, and I saw a lot of strange cars parked out front, and when I got to the door I could hear people whispering, and I could smell German chocolate cake, which is my favorite' and when Penny asks what happened, Leonard said that it turned out his grandfather had died, which Penny said was terrible, but Leonard said that it felt a bit like a birthday party since he got to see all his cousins and there was cake and Penny said that that was the saddest thing she ever heard.īeverly first appears in " The Maternal Capacitance" Season 2 Episode 15, visiting her son. Penny then asks Leonard if he really never had a birthday party and Leonard said 'No.
Perhaps if she’d also denied him Christmas he’d be a little better at it. Penny then says "What was it called, “'I hate my son and that's why he can't have cake?,” and Sheldon says it was obviously effective, Leonard grew up to be an experimental physicist. Penny mocks this and Sheldon says that it’s actually based on very sound theories and his mother published a paper on it. She is mentioned again in " The Peanut Reaction" when Penny learns that Leonard never celebrated his birthday and that his parents focussed on celebrating achievements, and being expelled from a birth canal was not considered one of them. She is mentioned again in " The Cooper-Hofstadter Polarization" when Rajesh Koothrappali says to Leonard that the only thing missing from the insult was 'yo mamma' and Howard says to Leonard "Your mamma's methodology is so flawed, but Leonard tells him to shut up and at the presentation, Leonard tells the audience that he could never please his parents so he needs to get all his self-esteem from strangers like the audience. She was first mentioned in " The Hamburger Postulate" when Penny tells Leonard that she didn't know he played the cello and Leonard says that his parents felt that naming him Leonard and putting him in advanced-placement classes wasn't getting him beaten up enough.
