New Idea: TBBT - The Loobenfeld Decay - S1E10

After being a (crazy) Friends-fan for nearly 2 decades I started to like The Big Bang Theory too (maybe because the end of the series has been announced). Anyway I want to do for The Big Bang Theory what I did for Friends.

I don't know the episodes of The Big Bang Theory (TBBT) as by heart as I know Friends-episodes, but I am planning to also create careers, food,... from the show as I am doing/ did for Friends.

In general the idea is to give you one episode per blogpost. In every blogpost I'll shortly describe what happens with the main characters of The Big Bang Theory in that certain episode. SPOILER
You can then play this in the game as you wish.
                                  

General happenings season 1:
The lives of physicists Dr. Leonard Hofstadter and Dr. Sheldon Cooper are shaken up when an attractive young aspiring actress from Omaha, Nebraska named Penny moves into the apartment across the hall from theirs. Leonard begins to become hopelessly enamored of Penny, while she feels only platonic affection for him; as a result, she finds herself putting up with his closest and ever-present friends: his roommate, Sheldon, who appears borderline obsessive-compulsive; engineering whiz Howard Wolowitz, a desperately sex-crazed mama's boy who thinks that his 1960s-style clothing and hairstyle give him an air of cool hipness; and Dr. Rajesh "Raj" Koothrappali, who will not speak to her as he is too shy to talk to women (a case of selective mutism), unless intoxicated in which case he becomes a smooth talking yet highly overly aggressive womanizing flirt.
During Season One, Sheldon loses his job for insulting his new boss, finds his ego bruised by a child prodigy, becomes unable to bear being part of a lie that Leonard has told, and is always attacking the world with a relentless need to assert his supremacy. Rajesh first learns that he can talk to women, but only when he is drunk, and Penny and Leonard finally go out in the season finale. It is so far the only season not to feature John Ross Bowie as the recurring character Barry Kripke and Kevin Sussman as Stuart Bloom.

The Loobenfeld Decay - S1E10
Penny is given a part in the musical Rent, but after Leonard and Sheldon hear her off-key singing (Sheldon commenting, "if cats could sing, they'd hate it too"), Leonard lies to avoid having to see her perform and hurt her feelings. Sheldon, worried that Leonard's lie was inadequate, devises an intricate lie about his nonexistent drug-addicted cousin "Leopold Houston" needing an intervention the night of the play). Sheldon is so obsessed with his lie's credibility that he has Toby Loobenfeld, a research assistant who double majored in Physics and Theatre, impersonate cousin "Leo" to convince Penny the lie is true. In the end, Leonard must still see the video of Penny's performance, and Penny and "Leo" start flirting.

Sheldon

He and Leonard went for some chicken and are discussing the terminator trilogy. He feels terrible about Leonard lying because Penny might see through it. So he tells her Leonard lied to protect him from shame because his cousin Lee needs to go to rehab.
Even after "the symposium" he's still worried about the lie. So He finds someone who wants to act as cousin Leo to be more convincing. But he's a bit overacting not following the profile Sheldon described.
He starts flirting with Penny.

Leonard

He lied to Penny about the symposium.
Leonard feels bad about the lie Sheldon tells Penny because she now thinks so high of him. He still needs to see a video of Penny singing and now she can see his reaction.

Penny

She's really happy because the audition she didn't get (workshopproduction of Rent) is now for her because the one chosen to play Mimi dropped out. It's not a big deal, just a one night showcase, but they invite a lot of agents so you never know. She asks the Sheldon and Leonard to come, but they say they are attending a symposium.
She's touched that Leonard would help a friend like Sheldon. She feels bad that Howard is mad so she tells all the guys that she knows about the drugintervention of Sheldon's cousin Leo.

Howard

He would have loved to go to the (fake) symposium with Leonard and Sheldon so now he's mad at Leonard (for a lie). Leonard tells him and Raj that there's no intervention in Long Beach. It was all a lie.
They decide to go to Long Beach anyway because The Queen Mary (boat) is lying there. It's now a hotel and a restaurant with a quite good Murder Mystery Dinner.

Rajesh

Nothing much happens to him.
