I wonder, if she does appear again, it will be some time later and Raj sees her out with someone new, and he has to deal with that. Or he could be the one with someone, running into her. Maybe she'll make a short future appearance to see that she's okay and moved on.

Whatever happens or doesn't with Emily (or even Claire), I think Raj's single status is a perfect opportunity to reintroduce CINNAMON! It actually doesn't make sense that we DON'T see him around the house crying, turning to her for comfort.

IKR?!?! After all she gives the sweetest kisses

Cinnamon, come to daddy!

[ennaxor]

Yessss, Cinnamon. Come back please.

Cinnamon is the true one for him, he will learn that romantic love isn't what everyone needs, that it's representated as the best love you can have, but for some people, platonic love or love for a pet can be just as fulfilling.

Sorry but Rajs storyline is really anyoing right now. Seems they have no plans for him. I would have loved if he got back together with Lucy but as long as he doesn't grow up and acts like this, it is probably better he doesn't date for a while

[SargeantFuzzyBoots]

I'm just hoping his being manipulated by two women will help him become more street smart in terms of dating so he can be more sure of himself in knowing what he wants rather than just no wanting to be without a girlfriend.

AV Club dude has some great remarks about the Raj/Emily/Claire situation

"The Application Deterioration" · The Big Bang Theory · TV Review The Big Bang Theory has a serious Raj problem · TV Club · The A.V. Club

excellent points

[soundsgood]

I agree I founded strange that Emily was so needy after the break-up. Her awkward side from last season has completely disappeared, but she never seemed to be fully into this relationship IMO

[SargeantFuzzyBoots]

At first I was also surprised at Emily being really emotional, but they basically seemed to chalk it up to her just manipulating Raj to get some sex which falls in line with what we've seen of her character, I'd say. As for Claire, given that she'd just broke up with her old boyfriend, it seems like she too was looking for some stress relief sex because, overall, I still don't find her to be that interested in Raj emotionally or longterm.

[IcyBerry]

So basically, neither women are really into Raj nor is Raj particularly into either women

I wonder if the writers are aware of how messy the Raj situation is...

I'd say so. While I'm not a Raj/Emily fan and want Raj/Lucy to be end game, I do appreciate their realistically messy take on this - I like how the writers aren't always writing things that you're supposed to like or think are good for the character even though a humourous situation can be made out of it - as these life moments often are.

[smoguntia]

Did you recognize? Raj made the same mistakes like with Lucy. Telling his friends what they should say and what not. Emberassing himself and his girlfriend in front of his friends. 3 years later and he didn't move forward at all.

[IcyBerry]

I didn't notice but I'm not surprised by this at all The writers honestly just don't seem to care much for Raj's situation or his character, which is only becoming worse as his storyline progresses I really don't know what they're trying to achieve.
