Episode 7 – The Panty Piñata Polarization (207)
When Penny’s cable gets cut, she starts coming over to the guys’ apartment to watch America’s Next Top Model. However, after Sheldon bans her from the apartment for a series of petty infractions (touching his food, sitting in his spot, and sending him “email humor”), Penny taunts him at the Cheesecake Factory. After a series of escalating pranks, including Sheldon cutting off Penny’s access to WiFi and Penny wrecking Sheldon’s laundry night by having all the washers occupied at the exact time he does his laundry, Sheldon goes to the extreme of hanging her laundry from a telephone wire outside the apartment. Penny gets her revenge after Leonard gives her Sheldon’s Kryptonite – his mother’s phone number. Sheldon’s mother calls him and forces him to apologize to Penny.
Meanwhile, Howard and Raj are trying to find the location of the Next Top Model house. They use all of the technology at their disposal, as well as a military spy plane and NASA satellites to finally pinpoint it. They arrive at the house posing as cable guys and work their way in. The episode ends as we’re left to wonder what happens next. Analeigh Tipton and Samantha Potter of Cycle 11 guest star.
