The Big Bang Theory S8E9 - "The Septum Deviation" Recap

Leonard has a deviated septum and needs surgery to repair it. Sheldon thinks that surgery isn't the best course of action due to the risks. Sheldon continues to pester Leonard about all the things that could go wrong so Leonard tells him he will reconsider having the surgery. He later goes to the hospital with Penny without telling Sheldon. Amy is unable to keep the secret and tells Sheldon, who insists on being taken to Leonard. Sheldon gets to the hospital and stays out in the waiting room with Penny and Amy. While waiting, there is an earthquake and Sheldon tries to run to Leonard but runs into a glass door due to the room being dark and falls to the ground. The next day Leonard and Sheldon sit on the sofa together with bandages on their noses. Leonard ends up teasing Sheldon that he really loves him.
