The one with Silver Shell.
Looking to prove to Jenny that boy robots are jerks compared to him, Sheldon creates a mechanical suit and dubs himself "The Silver Shell". But the plan backfires when Jenny starts falling for Silver Shell.
"Shell Game" contains examples of:
- Loves My Alter Ego: Sheldon created the Silver Shell to hopefully get Jenny turned off from dating robots. However, depending on the episode, Jenny is either still enamored with him or is fed up with his behavior. Played straight with the first episode when the Silver Shell didn’t show up to stop an incident at a zoo and Jenny was still fawning over him.
- No-Harm Requirement: Jenny lets all the harmless reptiles in a reptile exhibition loose in an attempt to summon Silver Shell, who has stolen her robotic heart. But in the chaos, a giant deadly python gets loose and begins putting the squeeze on Sheldon. Jenny tries to hold out for Silver but unbeknownst to her, Silver Shell is actually Sheldon in a robot disguise. Fortunately she comes to her senses and engages the reptile. But after she gets Sheldon free and tries to empty her arsenal on the serpent, Sheldon stops her because while he's dangerous, he's a protected species. So instead, Jenny gets the long reptile to chase her around, causing it to tie itself in a knot.
- Turned Off By The Jerkass: Sheldon attempts to enforce this with Silver Shell, who Jenny is madly in love with. He built Silver Shell (which he pilots) to be so big of a jerk that Jenny rejects him and other male robots so that he could have her himself. Despite this, she frequently goes back to being interested in Silver Shell, despite Sheldon's best efforts to convince Jenny to ditch him.
