** Sheldon catching Penny's flu so that he wouldn't be able to go to Switzerland. For extra irony points, it's heavily implied the only reason he got it from her at all was because of all the time he spends trying to talk her into letting him go instead. Had he simply put with Leonard's decision, he may well have been able to go after all once Penny gets sick. As Sheldon calls her out on it, she simply tells him in mockery, "Happy Valentine's Day".

Was it ever stated or implied that Penny knew she had the flu? Considering there's the scene of her sneezing and telling Leonard it was probably allergies.


* BatmanGambit: Penny agreeing to Sheldon that she'll stay behind and he can go to switzerland leads to him hugging her out of joy (despite his behind phobic of germs and human physical contact). This comes back to bite Sheldon as Penny knew she was coming down with the flu and infected him so that he wouldn't go either.
* BittersweetEnding: Penny is sick, Sheldon is sick and although Leonard avoided getting sick and made it to Switzerland in a luxury hotel room, he didn't want to be alone there and reluctantly took [[spoiler: Raj]] with him to Switzerland. In the end, only Raj is happy, Leonard has mixed feelings, Penny and Sheldon are ill and heartbroken.

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: As Sheldon asks how could he have gotten sick as he's very good with personal hygiene and avoiding touching people. Penny doesn't know what to tell him. Then it dawns on him that he touched Penny just before coming down with the flu and realizes she infected him.
* FoodAsBribe: Sheldon tries luring Leonard into taking him to Switzerland by giving him a breakfast of orange juice, coffee and pancakes shaped like [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Frodo]] (Coconut shavings for his feet hair, butterscotch scone) and then bribes him again with cholermus, which is of course a Swiss type of pancake.
