This week's episode of 'The Big Bang Theory' (Thu., 8PM ET on CBS) kept the boys and girls completely separate throughout, as if the writers are testing to see if the trio of Bernadette, Penny and Amy can sustain their own plots. Spin-off brewing maybe?

While the women were busy talking about who was bullied and who was a bully -- one guess which was which -- Leonard found himself faced with one of his high school tormentors. It turned out that Jimmy Speckerman wanted a nerd to flesh out a rather simplistic idea he had so they could make a fortune, but Leonard was more interested in facing his fears and forcing an apology.

He got a drunken one later, but after sleeping it off, Jimmy didn't remember the apology and picked right back up with the bullying. Leonard stood up for himself, but quickly realized that he was indeed much smaller and weaker than Jimmy. The only prudent course of action? Run.
