Homo Novus: Where Is He Now?

[Wisp]

Theory: Leonard's nightmare, in which Sheldon doubled by mitosis, actually happened. The mitosis went too quickly, however, and the other Sheldon turned out to be malformed and unstable. Meeting Amy was the clincher that made Sheldon decide that he would be much happier working on his dogopus than sticking with his friends, who, though important to him, frequently bogged him down with their trivial romantic problems. At some point, Sheldon had a long think about the pros and cons of staying with Leonard, and decided that Leonard would probably be better off with the dimmer one... at least his inferior mind would not entertain the thought of his best friend being replaced with a double, so Sheldon leaves one night safe in the knowledge that his friends will not worry about him, so he can focus on immortalising himself as a robot (And of course the dogopus) This happened at the end of season 3.
