According to spoilers, the episode is Christmas-themed, where Sheldon will go to great lengths to ruin the holiday season for Amy. Sheldon does not believe in celebrating Christmas and when Amy goes about planning an authentic Victorian Christmas party, her boyfriend does not approve. But this time around Amy is not going to give to Sheldon's whims and fancies, and the episode will see Sheldon seeking revenge on her for making him celebrate the holidays.

Sheldon is also unhappy with the fact that Amy kissed him under the mistletoe in public while they were shopping for a Christmas tree. Therefore, he hatches a plan to get her a gift that would make her feel worthless. Sheldon's motivation to get Amy a gift is based on the belief that she will feel mortified when he gifts her something, as she hasn't bought anything for him as per the rules of their agreement.
