* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Sheldon gets accused of sexual harassment by Alex because he told her not to give in to her "female urges" (i.e. flirting with Leonard) and devote all her time to her work. As well as calling her an egg salad sandwich because she's "full of eggs and only appearing for a short time." And showing her pictures from a book on veneral diseases in an attempt to ScareEmStraight. When he's sent to Janine Davis from Human Resources, his attempts to explain himself just end up insulting her as well.
