We went back to the beginning on The Big Bang Theory Season 8 Episode 9.
Forget pretty girls next door and Raj now being able to speak to a woman and Howard getting married. The latest installment of this CBS smash focused almost entirely on Sheldon and Leonard, the roommate relationship that started it all.
We kicked things off with Leonard deciding to get surgery for his deviated septum. It’s a simple enough procedure. No big deal, right? Try telling that to Sheldon.
This genius knows that one in 700,000 patient die under anesthesia and he doesn’t want his best friend to be that one.
Leonard understands and appreciates the concern, telling Sheldon he has a lot to think about in the week before the surgery. Except a new surgery date opens up and Leonard takes it.
Sheldon insists on going to the hospital in a show of support for Leonard. And also to say "I told you so" if Leonard dies.
Shortly after arriving, there’s a tiny earthquake and the power goes out. When Sheldon goes to check on Leonard, he runs straight into a glass door. Oh, Sheldon!
Now, of course, Sheldon also has a deviated septum. The pals are side by side in hospital beds, talking about their feelings… with stuffed up noses.
It was a moment high in sweetness and humor.
ELSEWHERE: Raj learns that his dad moved out right before his parents’ 40th wedding anniversary, with Raj later explaining that his folks split because they grew to resent each other over time, slowly.
To avoid this same sad fate, Bernadette and Howard open up about their marital frustrations and their reasons for marital bliss. More sweet and funny moments abound.

I’m not sure if that’s a person or a typo.
