Long Before Penny's Pregnancy, The Big Bang Theory Hinted at This Divisive Twist
In series finale, fans were shocked when Penny, who had long insisted she didn’t want children, was revealed to be pregnant. But what seemed like an unexpected twist was actually subtly hinted at back in season 8. In the episode “The Intimacy Acceleration,” Sheldon made a comment to Penny, stating that he sometimes saw her as a mother figure. Though Penny dismissed it as strange, this line foreshadowed her surprising finale fate.

However, as the show progressed, it became clear that Sheldon had long viewed Penny in a more nurturing, almost motherly role.
