In one, Sheldon finds himself forced into a caretaker role when Amy falls ill, while in the other, Howard sets off with Bernadette to visit Penny’s father, hoping to pick up a few pointers on how to behave more like a man. Sheldon, ever the reluctant guardian, begrudgingly looks after Amy throughout her sickness. Though he’s not eager to abandon his usual routines, he ends up providing her with the attention she needs, managing her discomfort while trying to keep his own anxieties in check. Meanwhile, Howard uses the visit to Penny’s family home as an opportunity to seek advice on masculinity.
