[s2e9] The White Asparagus Triangulation -

This episode is a classic study in Leonard’s insecurity and Sheldon’s lack of boundaries.

Leonard is finally dating someone "smart and age-appropriate"—Dr. Stephanie Barnett. However, he becomes convinced he’s going to screw it up. This leads him to allow Sheldon to intervene as a "social consultant," resulting in the hilariously awkward "Triangulation." Key Highlights:

The title refers to Sheldon’s attempt to use "The White Asparagus" (a rare delicacy) as a metaphor for why Stephanie should stay with Leonard, though Leonard’s anxiety almost ruins the "flavor."
