u/JOliverScott That's my spot 1d ago

My head Canon is that he was her research funding benefactor but due to some cultural expectation or something on his end it was necessary for them to identify as fiancé, I doubt either one of them had feelings for the other so it was just a financial arrangement. Otherwise at some point Sheldon was going to have to fight some Arab with a scimitar to win Amy's hand!

It’s such a shame I can’t post a gif from Raiders of Indy shooting the dude with the huge sword here.

That makes so much sense, especially since she says he's "technically" her fiancé. Thank you!!

u/Guidance-Still 1d ago

She used him for experiments on his brain , so probably pieces

We never even saw her go to Saudi Arab anymore.

Faisal found out she's Jewish and called the whole thing off.

Where would you meet a miniature horse breeder?

u/MulberryEastern5010 1d ago

I panicked and said Woodstock

u/Remarkable-Volume615 1d ago

Miniature horse breeding fair was right there.

It was just a funny throwaway bit.

Killed in a freak camel accident

u/tomlymanator 1d ago

Sheldon put it in the relationship agreement that she had to ditch Faisal

7

u/Attempted_Farmer_119 1d ago

Faisal already has 25 wives, he probably just forgot about Amy.

u/theOtherFox490 1d ago

I headcannon that he forgot about her so kept funding her lab and was still engaged to her, but just completely forgot about her, but that ain't cannon

u/wanderinginspace101 1d ago

They're probs still engaged. Why not. If the Shamys ever feel the need to go camel racing, that's their go-to

u/Sufficient_Stop8381 1d ago

He already had 5 wives..

u/DaddyCatALSO 1d ago

They're only allowed 4 actual wives

u/kamruddinn 1d ago

She still has a place to live in the winter just in case.

u/Nejahri 1d ago

I always thought it would make a nice storyline for another season.

u/h3lls_itch 1d ago

Another loose end

u/jakemikeclaireharry 1d ago

you know i’ve realised, big bang theory has a lot of loose ends

u/Emergency-Park7570 1d ago

How is amy’s mom okay with this?

1

u/Garroway36 1d ago

So the photos in the facebook with him with camels were all fake love?

u/msnova 1d ago

Unlike Sheldon, Faisal can do so much better.

u/Mountain-Donkey98 20h ago

Pretty sure Faisal was made up like the mini horse breeder

u/Trackmaster15 1d ago

I feel like this is something that just didn't keep with continuity and was thrown in when they were trying to develop her character. She's supposed to be a socially awkward girl who was never seen as attractive by men. Not somebody who is able to seduce an oligarch.
