7.12 The Hesitation Ramification

[Tuesday Pajamas]

I do agree with your other post about Sheldon caring enough about Penny to get up to go comfort her. Yes, he was trying to learn comedy and saw an opportunity to put the timing theory to work but, he at least connected with the fact she was hurting and needed a laugh.

Imagine how much BETTER this would have been if Leonard had let Sheldon go over. We might have got a few laughs out of this episode which it completely lacked. In his own way Sheldon helps her stand up and fight back, rather than sinking into self-pity like she does with Leonard.
