The Big Bang Theory Season 7 Spoilers: Raj's girlfriend Emily not in season finale

Raj has finally had some luck in love in Season 7 of The Big Bang Theory now that he can actually talk to women without the aid of alcohol. He still puts his foot in his mouth, of course, but he seems to have made it work with Emily thus far. And it looks like the relationship will actually improve rather than fall apart in typical Raj fashion.

The following spoiler comes from the "Ask Ausiello" column at TVLine:

"Even though Laura Spencer's Emily doesn't appear in the May 15 season-ender, 'there will be quite a bit of discussion about Raj and Emily,' teases exec producer Steve Molaro, who adds that the penultimate episode on May 8 features 'a really, really beautiful scene' between Spencer and Kunal Nayyar that was completed 'in one take... They were both so great in it and were so natural. And there was so much chemistry. [The scene] was done, and we moved on.'"

But that's not all. The column also drops the following nugget about the season finale:

"Not sure if this is out there, but the aforementioned May 15 finale marks the return of Christine Baranski as Leonard's mother, Beverly. Rumor has it she once again pays her son a visit via Skype."

Could Leonard's mother show up because her son is thinking of popping the question to Penny? Or maybe he already has by that point. Or maybe she proposed to him! You can never tell with these two.

What do you expect from the season finale? Let us know in the comments below.
