5!!Tropes:
6* BaitAndSwitch: Sheldon gets mad at Penny for recording ''Film/PaulBlartMallCop'' and other movies on his DVR with limited storage and demands she answer honesty because "This is not a trial... that'll come later."
7* BlatantLies: When Sheldon finds movies on his DVR that he did not record, he (correctly) assumes Penny did it and proceeds to grill her saying a trial will come later. Leonard comes to her "defense" by lying maybe Chinese hackers did it. Sheldon rebuffs it makes no sense for the Chinese to record anything on their DVR, let alone a ridiculous comedy like ''Film/PaulBlartMallCop'', but rather than continue this pointless interrogation Sheldon just deletes them much to Penny's dismay.
8* SanitySlippage: Sheldon goes through one as he endures Amy's closure-curing therapy.
