The Big Bang Theory Season 2 - Episode 1

"The Bad Fish Paradigm"



Penny and Leonard return from the restaurant while Howard and Rajesh spy on them, using a webcam on the corridor connected to a laptop. They try to convince Leonard that the date wasn't working well: they think that when Penny said "let us slow down a bit", it meant that the "fish is bad". But they are obviously envious.

On the other hand, after Penny and Leonard's date, Penny feels uncomfortable having not completed community college. She is afraid that Leonard would become bored with her. She lied to Leonard about completing her own college and makes Sheldon keep her secret. This request to deceive Leonard is very hard for Sheldon (and his facial expressions) and results in the drastic decision on Sheldon's part to move out. However, after moving from Raj's and Howard's homes (in the course of one night), Sheldon is brought back home by Howard. Having unknowingly taken a dose of valium, Sheldon tells Leonard about Penny's failure to complete community college. Leonard, in an attempt to help Penny, offers her some pamphlets regarding some local community colleges. She promptly slams the door in his face in annoyance.
The title refers to Leonard's despairing cry, "Oh, I am the bad fish!", after failing to make a second date with Penny.
