TEXT: Scene: The Cheesecake Factory Penny: Hey, do me a favour and take table seven. Bernadette: You mean the one with my one hundred and eighteen-pound rock-hard stud of a fiancé who's prone to canker sores and pinkeye? Penny: Nah, I prefer to look at it as the one with my ex-boyfriend and his gorgeous, successful and sophisticated girlfriend, who makes me feel like a toothless Okie. Bernadette: Do you want me to spill hot soup on her? Penny: Oh, please, you're not that kind of person. Bernadette: I know. But if she orders something low-fat I'll totally give her the full-fat version. Leonard: Uh, that's my water. Sheldon: What? Leonard: My water. You're drinking it. Sheldon: Dear Lord! Have you been drinking it? Leonard: Yes. It's my water. Sheldon: Well, that's it then. I'm dead. Leonard: Here we go. Sheldon: I'm sorry, do I really need to connect the dots for you? The backwash into this glass is every pathogen that calls your mouth home, sweet home. Not to mention the visitors who arrive on the dancing tongue of your subtropical girlfriend. Raj: Hey! That's my sister and my country you're talking about. Leonard may have defiled one, but I won't have you talking smack about the other. Bernadette: You guys ready to order? Sheldon: Yes, I'd like a seven-day course of penicillin, some, uh, syrup of ipecac, to induce vomiting, and a mint. Bernadette: I don't understand. Howard: He drank from Leonard's glass. Sheldon: He drank from Leonard's glass. Words they'll be carving into my tombstone. Leonard: That's actually my napkin. Sheldon: Oh, this is a nightmare! Howard: Where are you going? Sheldon: To the bar, to sterilize my mouth with alcohol. Gang way! Dead man walking! Credits sequence. Scene
SUMMARY:
Bernadette and Howard decide to inform their respective parents about their engagement. Howard arranges a lunch for his fiancée and his mother and they end up getting along well. After Howard hears the good news while talking to his mother, who is in the bathroom, he decides to make the move and tell her about the engagement. To his horror, she collapses from an apparent heart attack. Howard takes her to the hospital. When the others hear about this, they rush to the hospital. Sheldon is initially reluctant to visit the hospital and only agrees to come after Penny pressures him to go. When Bernadette finds out that Howard was telling his mother about his engagement before she collapsed, she is very upset, as she believes that she is the reason all this happened. The doctor informs them that it had not been a heart attack and that she wants to see Bernadette. It is revealed that she actually had food poisoning from the restaurant and was worried about Bernadette's well-being, whom she actually likes a lot. Bernadette ends up being mad at Howard, as he led her to believe that it was all her fault. While in the hospital, Priya and Penny start searching for the cafeteria and bond in the process. They mainly discuss Leonard's skills in the bedroom. Sheldon has other things to worry about, as he tries to avoid contact with anything in the hospital. When he tries to avoid a coughing patient, he seeks shelter in a random room. Much to his horror, it turns out to be a bio-hazard room. Sheldon is eventually quarantined in the hospital for two weeks after the exposure, with his friends keeping him company.
