Why is everybody freaking out, thinking that Sheldon will be gone forever? This whole episode was about Sheldon hating/being afraid of change. Now tell me, how a man that hates changes will take such a dramatic twist in his life like running away to start over?

Nope, not gonna happen. He WILL come back, because he left behind pretty much everything that's important to him; all the stuff in his apartment (his collection of comic books anyone?), his friends AND Amy (even if he doesn't accept it). Another thing related to the Amy subject, it appears that Sheldon acknowledges that Amy loves him (Along the words of: "And i have a girlfriend that loves me so much that wants us to live together"), and i'm sure he loves her too, just can't admit it to himself/doesn't know how to process it, again, because its change, its something new that he's never felt before.

So this whole adventure for him to think and process the new events in his life, find himself, learn what he really wants, personally, i think it's an amazing thing for him, but i don't think he will be gone for too much, one month tops. Where is he going? Where will he be stain? Sheldon is pretty serious about hygiene, so being a hobo sleeping on the street is off the picture. I'm thinking in him staying in hotels, or maybe taking a trip to see his mee-maw? Traveling in trains with that train-lover Erik?

I don't really now know. And finally, my prediction for season 8; TL;DR Sheldon's not leaving forever, and (i'm hoping) we'll see his being-away-from-home adventures at the begging of the season
 * I don't think he will return with the group at the beginning of the season. I'm thinking of them having 2-3 plot based episodes (like they always do), but a sub-plot will be of Sheldon's adventures; thus, letting us see his progress/character development before he's ready to return. Then, maybe episode 4-6 later, Sheldon will be back.
 * On the other hand, Penny and Leonard. They will be discussing where they'll be living, so I'm still predicting for Leonard moving in with Penny.
 * Amy... she sure will need some support from Penny and Berni. But, i have a funny feeling that Sheldon will be communicating with her one way of another, after all, it seems he can't be without updates of her for too long, so yeah, i guess the days of the Shamy video-chating will be back :)
 * Raj, Howard and Berni, pretty much the same for the beginning of the season. Although, i'm hopping for more Howard-Amy moments, god i love those too together xD
 * Stuart and "Debbie"... lol can't stop laughing xD. Please don't make them a couple tho...
