Plus having someone leave only works as a cliffhanger if the audience cares if the character comes back or not. Which leaves out Raj, Emily or Claire and Having Howard be the one to bail would bring up being just like his father and abandoning his child (might be a little dark for these writers)
P.S. Raj showing up with Claire and Penny inviting Emily does seem to be in the writers "borrowed" from another sitcom wheelhouse.
I did say crazy, it was not a real prediction. I'm not sure I actually want to guess correctly because the finale will probably be something like....
The Happy Families Catatonia
Leonard's father and Beverley clash but somehow (??) Leonard and Penny make them reconcile and everyone gushes about how great they are for each other. Prompting Sheldon to propose to Amy and Mary to squeeee with delight.
Raj will be put in his place for dating two girls but it will turn out neither of them were serious about him anyway.
No cliffhanger and of course someone important (Mary Cooper?) will point out Sheldon and Penny's 'brother-sister' like connection.
Canons - Awwwwwww.
Us - Argghhhhhhh.
