The Big Bang Theory Season 1 - Episode 12

"The Jerusalem Duality"



Sheldon is overcome with I.Q. envy when he meets a smarter 15-year-old science prodigy named Dennis Kim (Austin Lee). Losing faith in his own research, he annoys his circle of friends and colleagues by criticizing their work (prompting them to say "Go away!" whenever he's around). Deciding his work in physics is useless he decides to aim for the Nobel Peace Prize by creating a 'Nuevo Jerusalem' for the Jewish people in the Mexican desert (thus creating peace in the Middle East). The guys, tired of his insults and his craziness decide to take Dennis out of the picture by getting him distracted with girls. At his welcome party their plan works (though mostly by accident) and Dennis leaves with a blonde 15 year old (Unfabulous's Emma Degerstedt) for the mall. Excited, Sheldon declares his work will continue on and 'human relationships will continue to baffle and repulse me'. The guys were excited Sheldon was back to his old self, but Leonard, Wolowitz and Rajesh were upset and perplexed at how Dennis was able to get girls yet they were not.
The title, as stated, refers to Sheldon's idea to build a second Jerusalem in the middle of the Sonoran Desert.
