The Pancake Batter Anomaly
Penny is back from Nebraska, but unfortunately for 'germophopic' Sheldon the only present she's brought back from her trip is a nasty flu bug which she thoughtlessly releases into the atmosphere of their flat. Despite his most fervent preventative steps, measuring fluid input and output and even cultivating his own antibodies in a base of green jelly, Sheldon is doomed to succumb to the evil virus.
Having survived the 'Great Ear Infection of 2006', Leonard is quick to formulate an escape plan and raises a 'code milky green' alert. The carpets have just been steamed round at Howard's, but all is not lost as the 3 boys head into 3 and a half hours of apey goodness at the local Planet of the Apes marathon. That is until disaster strikes...
Back at the flat even an IQ of 187 is no assistance to poorly Sheldon. With no means of procuring soup he heads out to the restaurant where he is spotted by Penny. Fearful of a mass customer evacuation, Penny escorts Sheldon back to the flat and, after laying some essential ground rules, sets about building him back up to strength with some vapour rub and a dubious lullaby.
Meanwhile, at the cinema Leonard's glasses have suffered a fatal accident and the boys fear a return to the flat is the only plan of action. A cunning mission impossible style break-in is foiled by Leonard's unaided sight and results not only in discovery but also an accompanying head injury.
