It’s the first Thanksgiving tonight on The Big Bang Theory season 7, episode 9! Check out a preview and everything you need to know about the episode.

Fans will finally get a good look at how the geeky gang celebrates Thanksgiving when The Big Bang Theory season 7, episode 9 airs tonight on CBS. The episode, titled “The Thanksgiving Decoupling,” will take the gang to Mrs. Wolowitz’s house, where surprising revelations are made and Sheldon will probably complain about everything.

(That part is not super surprising.)

The official summary for The Big Bang Theory season 7, episode 9 says:

Sheldon protests when the gang drags him to Mrs. Wolowitz’s house for Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, Penny and Leonard must deal with a mistake from her past.

Penny didn’t have much to do in last week’s episode of The Big Bang Theory, as the episode focused on Leonard’s attempts to survive Sheldon pulling the wool over his eyes (literally) but the preview for “The Thanksgiving Decoupling” indicates that she’ll have a much juicier plot line this week.

Brian Thomas Smith will reprise his role as Zack, a brainless boyfriend from Penny’s past – and apparently, more than just a boyfriend! Casey Sander will also return as Bernadette’s dad who, as recent clips from the episode show us, is spending Thanksgiving at the Wolowitz’s while his wife is out of town.

Unsurprisingly, it looks like zaniness will be the main course served at The Big Bang Theory‘s first Thanksgiving, with side dishes of mishaps, and plenty of beer.

The Big Bang Theory season 7, episode 9, “The Thanksgiving Decoupling” will air tonight at 8:00 p.m. on CBS.
