In the tag scene, Santa ( Dakin Matthews) visits Sheldon in his apartment and apologizes to him for being unable to revive Pop-Pop, but then surprises him by firing a cannon at him in revenge for being left to be eaten by ogres. Pop-Pop died when Sheldon was five and Sheldon asked Santa, that Christmas at a mall, to bring Pop-Pop back, but instead received a set of Lincoln Logs this traumatized him from celebrating Christmas ever since. Sheldon then explains that his maternal grandfather, Pop-Pop, was the only member of his family who supported his scientific pursuits. Their characters find Santa and are about to release him when Sheldon double crosses the group, paralyzing the other characters and throwing away the only key to Santa's shackles, leaving him in the dungeon to be eaten by ogres. A later puzzle results in the boys playing " Jingle Bells" on handbells, in order to lower a drawbridge. Although only the first verse is needed, Sheldon sings the entire song. Meanwhile, in the game, a trap requires the singing of the carol " Good King Wenceslas" to prevent all the characters from being crushed to death. Raj laments to Penny that he now finds the unavailable Amy attractive. Satisfied, she leaves the club with the others in tow. Amy and Raj connect over their failed love lives, and Raj suggests that he would like to find someone like her. ![]() When he realizes how much that hurts Amy, Raj apologizes to her. Amy suggests that he at some point had found her attractive, to which he responds that he never has, despite encouragement from both Penny and Bernadette to agree. Disappointed, he complains that he cannot find anyone and laments about how he used to fancy both Penny and Bernadette ( Melissa Rauch). Raj returns to the girls' table with a girl's email address, but it is fake. When the girls and Raj arrive at the club, they decide to find a girl for Raj, who initially says that he requires someone physically attractive before admitting that he would take anyone. After initially refusing, they allow him to do so. Only Raj wishes to go as his character is already dead. The girls enter the apartment wearing sexy dresses (with the exception of Amy ( Mayim Bialik), who has a dress Penny describes as from "Forever 63") and do a runway show for the boys in an unsuccessful attempt to persuade their men to go with them to the bar. Sheldon is not happy, and the game begins with Raj's character dying in the first room of the dungeon as he accidentally triggered a fatal trap in his excited rush to save Santa. The game begins at Leonard and Sheldon's apartment, with Leonard as the dungeon master, who reveals the game has a Christmas theme by giving Sheldon a scroll in a Christmas stocking and telling them that their characters have to save Santa Claus from hungry ogres.
