Leonard went to the doctor to see why he was having so many sinus infections. It was determined he had a deviated septum. They scheduled an operation and while having it done, there was an earthquake.
Sheldon panicked and rushed to see how he was, be slammed into the closed door and broke his nose.
The two of them ended up with bandaged on their noses, miserable and forced Penny and Amy to nurse them back to health.
While all of this was occurring, Raj spent time with Howard and Bernadette and he was worried about finding a gift for his parent's 40th wedding anniversary. His problem was solved when his father called and told him not to worry about a gift; they were separating and getting a divorce.
A couple weeks later, after they recuperated from their nose injuries, Sheldon planned the last episode of "Fun with Flags" with Amy.
At the same time, Leonard, Howard and Raj were given the task to clearing out the office of a deceased professor. They found a journal, but found out it wasn't important, it was just his useless food journal.
While they were busy doing that, Penny and Bernadette were invited to a cocktail party at their pharmaceutical headquarters. Penny entered the dining room; she was dressed to kill wearing a skin-tight sleeveless black and blue dress. A matching black belt pulled tight to accent her tiny waist and large breasts.
Dan, her boss saw her immediately, noticing how short the dress was, ending several inches above her knees. He left the bar and rushed over to her and hugged her, "Ah, Penny, my rookie of the year."
She hugged him back, "Hi, Dan! My boss who didn't want to hire me and now he's a little hug machine." She chuckled when she felt his hands slide down and lightly brush against her tight ass.
He pulled back, "Look at you! Brand-new and already the third best sales rep. Why don't you come over to my table?"
"I'll be right over, Bernadette's just parking the car."
He had a very scared look on his face, "Oh, good, Bernadette, cute, sweet, vicious little Bernadette."
Penny chuckled and playfully slapped him with her clutch bag, "Come on, she's not that bad."
"Oh yeah? At the company picnic, she yelled at me and my grandson for losing the three-legged race. He still calls her "that mean kid with the big boobies."
Penny giggled, "I understand, I know she can be a little intense, but I swear, she is so sweet once you get past all--"
Bernadette snuck up behind her, "Hey, what are you talking about?"
Penny thought fast, "Oh, about how much we love working with you." She turned to speak to her boss, "Isn't that right, Dan?" She looked around and he quickly disappeared.
Dan watched Bernie from afar and even though he though she was very mean, he still had the hots for her, especially tonight. She was dress in a black and red printed dress. As always, her large breasts got places moments before the rest of her did. The dress had a full skirt, but with her black tights, it made her look even hotter. Her long blonde hair framed her pretty face and her glasses made her blue eyes seem even larger. He escaped and was sitting at a nearby table, but he was trapped when Penny and Bernadette joined him.
Dan was pounding down the martinis and Penny and Bernadette sat across from him silently drinking white wine. Penny tried to break the ice, "So, Dan, you have a grandson. How old is he?"
He took another gulp of his martini, "Seven."
Bernadette chuckled, "Oh, yeah, I remember him from the picnic. He was the one crying like a wuss the whole time." She smiled broadly.
Penny smiled back, "I heard he was being picked on by a mean kid."
Bernie replied, "Just builds character. Like my dad said, "Nobody likes a crybaby except their mommies and Democrats."
Dan had enough, he stood up, "I need another martini."
Bernadette looked up, "What's his problem?"
"Oh, I don't know, maybe he didn't like the fact you called his grandson a wuss."
Bernie stared back at her, "Well, I didn't think you were supposed to say "sissy" anymore."
Penny put down her glass, "Okay, look, I know what a good person you are, and I know we were talking about getting laid here tonight, but sometimes people think you might come off a little harsh."
Bernadette was taking it offensively and in her high squeaky voice replied, "What? I'm like the sweetest person I know. Look at me; I should be in a tree baking cookies."
Penny was trying to tip-toe through this discussion, "Yes, but once in a while, people think you're a little mean."
She was getting pissed, "Oh, yeah? You one of those people?"
Penny leaned back, "No, no, no, I think the cookie thing." She picked up her glass and took a big gulp as Bernadette stared her down.
After a little bit of silence Bernie blurted out, "I am not a bully. I mean, maybe I come off a little strong but that's because my dad raised me to be tough and not take crap from anybody.'
"Yeah, that fine, there is a difference between being tough and telling your friend her new pants look like a saggy diaper."
Bernadette scrunched up her face, "I did say that, didn't I?"
"Yeah, you did. I felt so self-conscience I had to return them."
Once again in her mean voice she retorted, "Where? To Babies "R" Us?"
Penny's jaw dropped, "See, you're doing it again!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, can we just go? I feel like everybody hates me."
Penny rolled her eyes, "Oh, come on, they don't hate you, they're just a little intimidated. All you need to do is show everyone how sweet you really are."
"No, I think I'd rather go."
