  • Title: The Big Bang Theory – The Egg Salad Equivalency
  • tv.com: link

The Egg Salad EquivalencySheldon’s (Jim Parsons) overreaction on hearing his assistant Alex (Margo Harshman) has made a pass at Leonard (Johnny Galecki) backfires for both roommates when Dr. Cooper is accused of sexual harassment after turning to Penny (Kaley Cuoco), Bernadette (Melissa Rauch), and Amy (Mayim Bialik) for advice. As Penny becomes upset by how much Leonard enjoyed getting hit on by an attractive younger woman Sheldon meets with a representative of the university’s human resource department (Regina King) which only makes matters worse.

Throwing his colleagues under the bus to save his own skin, Leonard, Raj, and Howard all find themselves called before human resources to defend recent actions. By the end of the episode things get back to normal as Sheldon apologizes to Alex for his behavior (and then enlists her assistance in a university mandated sexual harassment workshop), and Penny’s jealousy slowly fades with Leonard’s apology and her discovery of a new tool to keep his interest.
