1	!!Plot
2	Penny tries to start a home business. Unfortunately, things get out of control when Sheldon takes over.
3
4	!!Tropes:
5	* AnalogyBackfire:
6	-->'''Sheldon:''' That is not the American Spirit. Did Davy Crocket quit at the Alamo? Did Jim Bowie?\
7	'''Howard:''' They didn't give up, they were ''massacred!'' By, like, a gazillion angry Mexicans!
8	* BookEnds: The episode begins and ends with the guys playing Secret Agent Laser games.
9	* BottleEpisode: Only the main characters are present and the action takes place entirely in the main apartment sets.
10	* {{Calvinball}}: The episode begins with the guys playing "Secret Agent Laser Obstacle Chess". Howard suggests a strip variant. In TheStinger, they play Secret Agent Laser Obstacle Lunch, which Leonard admits is just stupid.
11	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Leonard installs a 1-day rush option for Penny's business without even consulting Penny on whether she can handle business at such a fast pace or not. An order for 1000 blossoms from the East Rutherford New Jersey, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Alliance is placed for a 1-day rush, forcing the main cast to exhaust themselves into intense labor.
12	* FreezeFrameBonus: More like a "freeze-frame and zoom in" bonus, but the label on the box Sheldon delivers to Penny lists her full name and address, seemingly showing her famously [[OnlyOneName elusive]] last name to be [[spoiler:Teller]]. WordOfGod ultimately denied it was canon.
13	* MustHaveCaffeine: Sheldon is against drinking coffee, as he considers it a drug. After drinking a few cups, he's acting like ComicBook/TheFlash.
14	-->'''Sheldon:''' I'll be back before this banana hits the ground.
15	* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure:
16	-->'''Sheldon:''' Penny, I am a physicist. I have a working knowledge of the entire universe and everything it contains.\
17	'''Penny:''' Who's Music/{{Radiohead}}?\
18	'''Sheldon:''' [after an awkward pause] I have a working knowledge of the ''important'' things in the universe.
19	** Later on Penny calls Davy Crockett, Jiminy Crockett. Justified as she had been up all night.
